Moreover, similar brain regions may be implicated in both creativity and psychosis. Although aberrant salience (AS) is often associated with psychotic disorders, it could also enhance creative capabilities. This study assesses salience alterations among healthy individuals, artists, and pa…
Predictors of dietary orientation among registered dietitians and dietetics students
Interest has arisen regarding different dietary approaches, namely prescriptive vs non-dieting approaches. Nonetheless, evidence on which individual factors orient professionals toward either approach is currently lacking for dietetics students and registered dietitians (RDN). For this reason, the present study aimed at investigating personal and interpersonal factors associated with the adoption of such approaches in dietary practice. This cross…

There is strong clinical and scientific evidence that salience alteration is linked to psychosis. To the present day, no meta-analysis evaluating ASI's psychometric properties and screening potential has been published. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Embase were searched using terms inclu…
