  • Cognitive biases

    Open AccessVanessa Cywiak, Ido Solt et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Postpartum Depression (PPD) and Childbirth Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CB-PTSD) are psychiatric conditions that cause significant distress. Yet despite their high prevalence and decades of research, knowledge about causal cognitive mechanisms that may assist in predicting or preventing these conditions is still missing. One characteristic of PPD and CB-PTSD that may contribute to their early prevention is the existence of cognitive biases con…

  • Executive functions in post-traumatic stress disorder

    Open AccessNehal Safi, Elias Jahjah et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Executive function difficulties in PTSD may correlate with PTSD severity and restrict daily functioning. Therefore, executive functions in PTSD should be evaluated using ecologically valid assessments to illuminate the implications of real-life activities. VAP-S 2 uniquely enables an objective assessment of executive functions in real-life scenarios for PTSD, complementing self-report and enhancing the ecological validity of findings. It is recom…

  • Bored to death

    Open AccessShir Lissak, Yaakov Ophir et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Integrating AI methods allowed the discovery of an under-researched risk factor of suicide. The study signals boredom as a maladaptive 'ingredient' that might trigger suicide behaviors, regardless of depression. Further studies are recommended to direct clinicians' attention to this burdening, and sometimes existential experience

  • Working in corona-designated departments in a fortified underground hospital

    Open AccessLauren Nashashibi, Marlyn Khouri et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Background In August 2020 during Israel’s second COVID-19 wave Rambam Medical Center opened the Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital.

Alongside the advanced inpatient capacity and technology within the underground facility, there was a severe shortage of trained medical and paramedical staff, as well as hars…

  • Sleep Monitoring Using WatchPAT Device to Predict Recurrence of Major Depression in Patients at High Risk for Major Depression Disorder Recurrence

    Open AccessDaniel Harlev, Ramit Ravona‐Springer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: Major depressive disorders are strongly correlated with alterations in sleep pattern and architecture, including changes in the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase. However, it is still unknown whether sleep alterations precede other depression-related symptoms, particularly in patients with recurrent depressive episodes at relapse risk. Case Presentation: We initiated a study aimed at examining the value of ambulatory sleep monitoring usi…

We evaluated both number and nature of referrals. Results: Throug…

  • Electrical fingerprint of the amygdala guides neurofeedback training for stress resilience

    Open AccessMaree Roche, Jackob N Keynan et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2018Cited by: 2References: 51

    Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) has revived the translational perspective of neurofeedback (NF) 1 . Particularly for stress management, targeting deeply located limbic areas involved in stress processing 2 has paved new paths for brain-guided interventions. However, the high cost and immobility of fMRI constitute a challenging drawback for the scalability (accessibility and cost-effectiveness) of the approach, particular…
