Home-administered transcranial direct current stimulation is a feasible intervention for depression
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging treatment for major depression. We recruited participants with moderate-to-severe major depressive episodes for an observational clinical trial using Soterix Medical's tDCS telehealth platform as a standard of care. The acute intervention consisted of 28 sessions (5 sessions/week, 6 weeks) of the left anodal dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) tDCS (2.0 mA × 30 min) followed by a ta…
Impairment in Working Memory and Executive Function Associated with Mercury Exposure in Indigenous Populations in Upper Amazonian Peru
The Matsigenka people living traditional lifestyles in remote areas of the Amazon rely on a fish-based diet that exposes them to methylmercury (MeHg) at levels that have been associated with decreased IQ scores. In this study, the association between Hg levels and working memory was explored using the framework of the Multicomponent Model. Working memory tasks were modified to fit the culture and language of the Matsigenka when needed and include…

Mercury Contamination in Riverine Sediments and Fish Associated with Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining in Madre de Dios, Peru
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in Madre de Dios, Peru, continues to expand rapidly, raising concerns about increases in loading of mercury (Hg) to the environment. We measured physicochemical parameters in water and sampled and analyzed sediments and fish from multiple sites along one ASGM-impacted river and two unimpacted rivers in the region to examine whether Hg concentrations were elevated and possibly related to ASGM activity. …
Vicarious Reward and Task Complexity as Determinants of Imitative Learning
As in an earlier study with older children, a brief exposure to a model was shown to produce appreciable learning by preschool Ss on a substantive educational task. Although vicarious reward again favorably influenced imitative learning under high-complexity conditions, the borderline reliability of this effect with younger Ss suggests that the effects of vicarious reward should be studied developmentally
Imitation as a function of vicarious and direct reward
Vicarious Reward and Task Complexity as Determinants of Imitative Learning
The effects of task complexity and vicarious reward upon children's ability to learn a substantive educational task through modeling were investigated. After observing a model's performance, all Ss were offered direct reward for matching responses. Accuracy of imitative learning was inversely related to task complexity and facilitated by the presence of vicarious reward. However, as predicted, vicarious reward had a significant effect only for Ss…
