Histone Modification02:32

Histone Modification

16.3K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

9.5K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Behavior Modification

755
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.0K
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Attentional bias training improved cognitive control on a specific task, but this effect did not generalize to other tasks. This suggests attention training is task-specific.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Attentional modulation is crucial for cognitive control, enabling focus on relevant stimuli and ignoring distractions.
  • The trainability and generalizability of attentional modulation remain key unanswered questions in cognitive control research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the trainability and generalizability of attentional bias.
  • To determine if training an attentional bias on one task transfers to untrained tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Two groups underwent an arrow priming task over three days to induce attentional bias (towards or away from primes).
  • Task performance was assessed daily to measure direct generalization of training effects.
  • Transfer to related and unrelated tasks was evaluated to assess cross-task generalization.

Main Results:

  • Attentional modulation showed significant differences between groups immediately after training, persisting to the next day.
  • No evidence of cross-task generalization was found for closely or remotely related tasks.
  • Direct generalization of attentional bias was observed on the trained task.

Conclusions:

  • Attentional bias training can modulate performance on a specific task.
  • The effects of attentional bias training appear limited to the trained task, showing no cross-task generalization.
  • Findings support cognitive control frameworks suggesting attentional modulation is feature-specific.
