Fit for purpose? Evaluating benthic invertebrate DNA metabarcoding for ecological status class assessment in streams under the Water Framework Directive.

Water Res

December 2024

University of Duisburg-Essen, Aquatic Ecosystem Research, Universitaetsstr. 5, 45141, Essen, Germany; University of Duisburg-Essen, Centre for Water and Environmental Research (ZWU), Universitaetsstr. 3, 45141, Essen, Germany. Electronic address:

The ecological state of aquatic ecosystems is systematically monitored using various bioindicators in many countries worldwide. In the European Union, freshwater biomonitoring is the central component of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) and currently based on morpho-taxonomic methods. DNA metabarcoding is a novel approach to assess the ecological state fast and efficiently based on organismal DNA signatures and thereby support and upscale biomonitoring.

Neural mechanisms of adaptive behavior: Dissociating local cortical modulations and interregional communication patterns.

iScience

October 2024

Cognitive Neurophysiology, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, TU Dresden, 01309 Dresden, Germany.

Adaptive behavior is based on flexibly managing and integrating perceptual and motor processes, and the reconfiguration thereof. Such adaptive behavior is also relevant during inhibitory control. Although research has demonstrated local activity modulations in theta and alpha frequency bands during behavioral adaptation, the communication of brain regions is insufficiently studied.

Mouse-tracking is regarded as a powerful technique to investigate latent cognitive and emotional states. However, drawing inferences from this manifold data source carries the risk of several pitfalls, especially when using aggregated data rather than single-trial trajectories. Researchers might reach wrong conclusions because averages lump together two distinct contributions that speak towards fundamentally different mechanisms underlying between-condition differences: influences from online-processing during action execution and influences from incomplete decision processes.

Recently, it has been proposed that self-relevance of a stimulus enhances executive control and reduces the impact of distractors on current task performance. The present study aimed to test whether the binding between a distractor and a response is influenced by self-relevance, too. We assumed that targets' self-relevance should increase executive control processes and therefore reduce the influence of distractors on current performance.

Gaze behavior in response to affect during natural social interactions.

Front Psychol

October 2024

Department of Biological and Clinical Psychology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany.

Attention in social interactions is directed by social cues such as the face or eye region of an interaction partner. Several factors that influence these attentional biases have been identified in the past. However, most findings are based on paradigms with static stimuli and no interaction potential.

Article Synopsis
  • Environmental DNA (eDNA) and environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding are techniques used to assess biodiversity in aquatic environments, each with distinct strengths and limitations.
  • The study evaluated these methods in a Central European river, finding eRNA to detect more vertebrate species with a stronger local signature, while eDNA was more effective for invertebrates.
  • Both methods can provide valuable biodiversity data, but the choice between them depends on the specific research question being asked.

Neurophysiological principles underlying predictive coding during dynamic perception-action integration.

Neuroimage

November 2024

Cognitive Neurophysiology, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, TU Dresden, Fetscherstrasse 74, Dresden 01307, Germany. Electronic address:

A major concept in cognitive neuroscience is that brains are "prediction machines". Yet, conceptual frameworks on how perception and action become integrated still lack the concept of predictability and it is unclear how neural processes may implement predictive coding during dynamic perception-action integration. We show that distinct neurophysiological mechanisms of nonlinearly directed connectivities in the theta and alpha band between cortical structures underlie these processes.

In the literature on human action control, the binding and retrieval of responses are assumed to shape the coordination of more complex actions. Specifically, the consecutive execution of two responses is assumed to result in their integration into cognitive representations (so-called event files) and can be retrieved from that upon later response repetition, thereby influencing behavior. Against the background of ideomotor theory and more recent theorizing in the binding and retrieval in action control framework (Frings et al.

Functional movement disorders are amongst the most common and disabling neurological conditions, placing a significant burden on the healthcare system. Despite the frequency and importance of functional movement disorders, our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is limited, hindering the development of causal treatment options. Traditionally, functional movement disorders were considered as a psychiatric condition, associated with involuntary movements triggered by psychological stressors.

Objective: To date, many prediction studies in psychotherapy research have used cross-sectional data to predict treatment outcome. The present study used intensive longitudinal assessments and continuous time dynamic modeling (CTDM) to investigate the temporal dynamics of affective states and emotion regulation in the early phase of therapy and their ability to predict treatment outcome.

Method: Ninety-one patients undergoing psychological treatment at a university outpatient clinic took part in a 2-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) period.

During continuous tasks, humans show spontaneous fluctuations in performance, putatively caused by varying attentional resources allocated to process external information. If neural resources are used to process other, presumably "internal" information, sensory input can be missed and explain an apparent dichotomy of "internal" versus "external" attention. In the current study, we extract presumed neural signatures of these attentional modes in human electroencephalography (EEG): neural entrainment and α-oscillations (~10-Hz), linked to the processing and suppression of sensory information, respectively.

Adaptive behavior is fundamental to cognitive control and executive functioning. This study investigates how cognitive control mechanisms and episodic feature retrieval interact to influence adaptiveness, focusing particularly on theta (4 to 8 Hz) oscillatory dynamics. We conducted two variations of the Simon task, incorporating response-incompatible, response-compatible, and neutral trials.

Recent studies suggest that learners who are asked to predict the outcome of an event learn more than learners who are asked to evaluate it retrospectively or not at all. One possible explanation for this "prediction boost" is that it helps learners engage metacognitive reasoning skills that may not be spontaneously leveraged, especially for individuals with still-developing executive functions. In this paper, we combined multiple analytic approaches to investigate the potential role of executive functions in elementary school-aged children's science learning.

Article Synopsis
  • Norming psychological tests is critical for accurately interpreting test scores, but traditional methods can create biases or need large samples to be effective.
  • Continuous norming methods—including inferential, semi-parametric, and parametric techniques—aim to address these challenges.
  • A review of 121 publications revealed that most studies favored simplified parametric norming, but not all accounted for key distributional factors, and the comparison of norming approaches showed that parametric norms offered the highest precision in real data applications.
