Improvement in Depressive Symptoms Among Hispanic/Latinos Receiving a Culturally Tailored Impact and Problem-Solving Intervention in a Community Health Center
Schooling Goals and Social Belonging Among Central American-origin Male Youth in Toronto
Following a pattern observed elsewhere in North America, male Central American-origin youths in Toronto are, on average, less likely than others to do well in high school and less likely to go on to post-secondary studies. In an effort to better understand how these outcomes emerge, this study examines variation in academic goals between individuals, changes in individual academic goals over time, and social-relations factors associated with such…
Combat-Exposed War Veterans at Risk for Suicide Show Hyperactivation of Prefrontal Cortex and Anterior Cingulate During Error Processing
OBJECTIVE: Suicide is a significant public health problem. Suicidal ideation (SI) increases the risk for completed suicide. However, the brain basis of SI is unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the neural correlates of self-monitoring in individuals at risk for suicide. We hypothesized that combat veterans with a history of SI relative to those without such a history would show altered activation in the anterior cingulate cortex a…

Crisis Visits and Psychiatric Hospitalizations Among Patients Attending a Community Clinic in Rural Southern California
Ethnic minorities from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds report increased utilization of mental health emergency services; however findings have been inconsistent across ethnic/racial groups. In this study we describe patients who present to a rural crisis unit in Southern California, examine rates of psychiatric hospitalizations across ethnic/racial groups, and investigate factors that are associated with increased psychiatric hospitalizat…
Initial Evidence of a Failure to Activate Right Anterior Insula During Affective Set Shifting in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Objective: Interoception is the sense of one’s internal physiological, sensory, and emotional status. Extensive evidence supports a link between interoception and subjective experience. An altered ability to monitor or modulate interoception as it relates to subjective experience may provide a mechanistic explanation for the development of some forms of psychiatric illness. Methods: We investigated which neural networks are activated when anticip…
Until the cows come home: Cattle and Early Neolithic Cyprus
The Neolithic of Cyprus has long been regarded as something of an ‘oddity’ with little relevance to the broader Near Eastern Neolithic world. It was believed that the ‘Neolithic package’ arrived on the island relatively late and, at least in terms of domestic fauna, there was little to distinguish it from the mainland, except for the lack of cattle. Research over the past several years, however, has challenged this perspective, first demonstratin…
Not such a new light: A response to Ammerman and Noller
Ammerman and Noller (2005 Ammerman, A. and Noller, J. 2005. New light on Aetokremnos. World Archaeology, 37(4): 533–543. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) question several aspects of investigations at the early Holocene site of Akrotiri Aetokremnos in Cyprus. Here we address their criticisms, paying particular attention to three ambiguities that they noted. We also suggest that their claim to having discovered cont…
