Global cortical thinning in acute anorexia nervosa normalizes following long-term weight restoration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-22)<b>Background:</b> Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder characterized by selfstarvation, extreme weight loss and alterations in brain structure.

Simple ears - flexible behavior: Information processing in the moth auditory pathway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03)Abstract Lepidoptera evolved tympanic ears in response to echolocating bats. Comparative studies have shown that moth ears evolved many times independently from chordotonal organs. With only 1 to 4 receptor cells, they are one of the simplest hearing organs. The small number of receptors does not imply simplicity, neither in behavior nor in the neural circuit. Behaviorally, the response to ... -
Distracted by the unthought - Suppression and reappraisal of mind wandering under stereotype threat
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-27)Previous research has found that subtle reminders of negative stereotypes about one’s group can lead individuals to underperform on stereotype-relevant tests (e.g., women in math, ethnic minorities on intelligence tests).
