Emotional memory modulation: How norepinephrine and glucocorticoids bias memory toward specificity or generalization
This thesis examined how norepinephrine and glucocorticoids modulate memory specificity and generalization, the underlying neural circuitry, and how endogenous differences in stress hormone signaling influence these processes.
-
Home-based exergaming for enhancing resistance to falls after stroke: From lab to living room
Every year, thousands of people in the Netherlands suffer a stroke. Many of them are left with balance problems as a result. This increases the risk of falling, which can cause serious injuries such as broken bones.
-
The Trauma in Context: Neural Representations of Trauma in Stress Resilience and Susceptibility
How patterns of neuronal activity underlying trauma memory storage differ between susceptible and resilient individuals remains unclear, a gap addressed by this thesis.
-
Grey or white, does it matter?Integrating grey and white matter structural MRI metrics in developmental cognitive neuroscience
This thesis explores whether considering grey and white matter as separate structures meaningfully advances or hinders our understanding of brain development.
-
Approach-avoidance Behaviour in Psychopathology: A Clinical Neuropsychological Perspective
This thesis examines the relationship between approach-avoidance tendencies, psychopathology, and cognition.
-
Attention to unmet needs in inflammatory bowel diseases: Exploring the potential of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy
This thesis investigated the healthcare needs of patients with IBD and the potential of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT).
-
Investigating the demands of spoken language production in young stroke
In this dissertation Investigating the demands of spoken language production in young stroke, I investigated how subtle communication difficulties after young stroke can be identified more effectively.
-
Structure, sparseness and efficiency in neuromorphic networks
This thesis dissertation answers the question how the structure of a brain circuit gives rise to the efficient way it computes?
-
Tipping the Scales: Probing the neural substrates of decision-making with focused ultrasound
This thesis used transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), a technique that can target deep brain regions without surgery, to investigate how motivation translates into action.
