In this paper, we argue that this over-emphasis on concussion education-and a reliance on static, sensationalized, and culturally disconnected messaging-fails […]
Sex-dependent blood-brain barrier alterations following repeated mild blast traumatic brain injury at varying inter-injury intervals
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that rmbTBI produces robust on-going deficits in BBB and glial outcomes that correspond with behavioral abnormalities in male animals. The extent of these outcomes is dependent upon inter-injury interval. Female rmbTBI animals display anxiety-related behavior that is not driven by BBB-related impairments.
Unsophisticated AI coaching does not improve performance on symptom and performance validity tests in a Romanian sample of experimental feigners
The present study aimed to investigate the ability of symptom and performance validity indicators to detect experimental feigning with symptom-coaching vs. AI assistance. Fifty-nine undergraduates and community members (45 females, M(Age)=22.6, SD(Age)=2.1; M(Education)=14.5, SD(Education)=1.4) were randomized into three experimental groups: controls (n = 20), symptom-coached feigners (n = 20), and AI-coached feigners (n = 19).
