Mood moderates the effects of prefrontal tDCS on executive functions: A meta-analysis testing the affective state-dependency hypothesis. (2024)
Journal Article

In recent decades, numerous studies have investigated the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on cognitive functioning. However, results of these studies frequently display inconsistency and pose challenges regarding replicabili...

A systematic review of the prediction of consumer preference using EEG measures and machine-learning in neuromarketing research. (2022)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: The present paper discusses the findings of a systematic review of EEG measures in neuromarketing, identifying which EEG measures are the most robust predictor of customer preference in neuromarketing. The review investigated which TF e... Read More about A systematic review of the prediction of consumer preference using EEG measures and machine-learning in neuromarketing research..

Anxiety predicts impulsive-compulsive behaviours in Parkinson’s Disease: clinical relevance and theoretical implications (2022)
Journal Article

Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often present symptoms of anxiety, depression and apathy. These negative affect manifestations have been recently associated with the presence of Impulsive-Compulsive Behaviours (ICBs). However, their relation w...

From Planning to Implementation: The Challenges of Recruiting Older Adults With Parkinson’s to a Feasibility Trial (2020)
Book Chapter

MeMory PaD was a 24-month feasibility trial of two slow-release dopamine agonists, pramipexole, and ropinirole, prescribed in Parkinson’s to manage movement problems. MeMory PaD opened in April 2013 and closed in September 2015. A total of 220 patien...

Incentive-driven decision-making networks in de novo and drug-treated Parkinson’s disease patients with impulsive-compulsive behaviors: A systematic review of neuroimaging studies (2020)
Journal Article

Background: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs) may develop as side-effect of dopaminergic medications. Abnormal incentive-driven decision-making, which is supported by the cognitive control and motivation interaction,...

Deficits in prospective memory following damage to the medial subdivision of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus. (2019)
Journal Article

Identifying the neurocognitive mechanisms that lead individuals remembering to execute an intention at the right moment (prospective memory, PM) and how such mechanisms are influenced by the features of that intention is a fundamental theoretical cha...

Dopaminergic neurotransmission in patients with Parkinson’s disease and impulse control disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis of PET and SPECT studies (2018)
Journal Article

Background Around 30% Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients develop impulse control disorders (ICDs) to D2/3 dopamine agonists and, to a lesser extent, levodopa. We aim to investigate striatal dopaminergic function in PD patients with and without ICD....

Impulse control disorder in Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of cognitive, affective and motivational correlates (2018)
Journal Article

Background In Parkinson’s disease (PD), impulse control disorders (ICDs) develop as side-effect of dopaminergic replacement therapy (DRT). One hypothesis is that DRT overdoses less-severely affected dopamine-modulated circuits on which cognition, aff...

Feasibility of a randomized single-blind crossover trial to assess the effects of the second-generation slow-release dopamine agonists pramipexole and ropinirole on cued recall memory in idiopathic mild or moderate Parkinson’s disease without cognitive impairment (2017)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The aim was to assess the feasibility of a single-centre, single-blind, randomized, crossover design to explore the effects of two slow-release dopamine agonists, ropinirole and pramipexole, on cued recall in Parkinson's disease. As the d...

Motor versus body awareness: voxel-based lesion analysis in anosognosia for hemiplegia and somatoparaphrenia following right hemisphere stroke (2016)
Journal Article

Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is informative about the neurocognitive basis of motor awareness. However, it is frequently associated with concomitant symptoms, such as hemispatial neglect and disturbances in the sense of body ownership (DSO). Alth...

Evidence of an amnesia-like cued-recall memory impairment in nondementing idiopathic Parkinson's disease. (2015)
Journal Article

Medicated, non-dementing mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease (PD) patients usually show recall/recollection impairments but have only occasionally shown familiarity impairments. We aimed to assess two explanations of this pattern of impairment. Reco... Read More about Evidence of an amnesia-like cued-recall memory impairment in nondementing idiopathic Parkinson's disease..

Visual hallucinations in Parkinson’s Disease: A hierarchy of impairments involving perception, source monitoring and reasoning (2014)
Journal Article

Up to 45% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) will develop visual hallucinations (VH) at some point in their illness. Although medication, depression, illness duration and ophthalmic abnormalities are identified as risk factors for VH-PD, speci...
