The DLPFC is centrally involved in resolving Stroop conflicts, suppressing distracting sensory input within the auditory and visual system.

Introduction: Cognitive control is a prerequisite for successful, goal-oriented behavior. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is assumed to be a key player in applying cognitive control; however, the neural mechanisms by which this process is accomplished are still unclear.

Methods: To further address this question, an audiovisual Stroop task was used, comprising simultaneously presented pictures and spoken names of actors and politicians.

Electrophysiological and hemodynamic mechanisms underlying load modulations in visuospatial working memory: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) study.

The n-back task has been widely used to study working memory. Previous studies investigating the electrophysiological (electroencephalogram [EEG]) and hemodynamic correlates (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS]) of the n-back task have been generally based on verbal stimuli and only investigated EEG frequency bands. We simultaneously acquired the EEG and fNIRS in 35 participants (16 males; age = 26.

Long-term effects of daylight saving time on driving fatigue.

The study of the relationship between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and road safety has yielded contrasting results, most likely in relation to the inability of crash-database approaches to unravel positive (ambient lighting-related) and negative (circadian/sleep-related) effects, and to significant geographical differences in lighting-related effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of DST on driving fatigue, as measured by driving-based, physiological and subjective indicators obtained from a driving simulator experiment. Thirty-seven participants (73 % males, 23 ± 2 years) completed a series of 50-min trials in a monotonous highway environment: Trial 1 was in the week prior to the Spring DST transition, Trial 2 in the following week, and Trial 3 in the fourth week after the transition.

Proton pump inhibitor use and risk of hepatic encephalopathy: A multicentre study.

Background & Aims: Data on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are conflicting, and data from multicentre studies are scarce. The aim of this study was to dissect the potential association between PPI use and minimal (MHE) and overt HE (OHE).

Methods: Data from patients with cirrhosis recruited at seven centres across Europe and the US were analysed.
