      Forn, Cristina; Belloch, Vicente; Bustamante, Juan Carlos; Garbin, Gabrielle; Parcet, Maria Antonia; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2009)
      The Symbol Digit Modalities Test is an easy test used to assess cognitive impairment in a wide range of neurological diseases, like multiple sclerosis. We adapted the oral version of this cognitive task making it suitable ...
    • closedAccess   Bridging language and attention: Brain basis of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive control 

      Garbin, Gabrielle; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Forn, Cristina; Bustamante, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Belloch, Vicente; Hernández, Mireia; Costa, Albert; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2010)
      Using two languages on an everyday basis appears to have a positive effect on general-purpose executive control in bilinguals. However, the neural correlates of this effect remain poorly understood. To investigate the brain ...
    • closedAccess   Dependence of the fractional anisotropy in cervical spine from the number of diffusion gradients, repeated acquisition and voxel size 

      Santarelli, Xenja; Garbin, Gabrielle; Ukmar, Maja; Longo, Renata Elsevier (2010)
      The aim of this study is to investigate the consequences of using different gradient schemes, number of repeated measurements and voxel size on the fractional anisotropy (FA) value in a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) ...
    • closedAccess   Frontostriatal response to set switching is moderated by reward sensitivity 

      Avila, Cesar; Garbin, Gabrielle; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Forn, Cristina; Barrós-Loscertales, Alfonso; Bustamante, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Belloch, Vicente; Parcet, Maria Antonia Oxford University Press (2011)
      The reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) relates individual differences in reward sensitivity to the activation of the behavioral approach system (BAS). Dopamine-related brain structures have been repeatedly associated ...
    • closedAccess   Neural bases of language switching in high and early proficient bilinguals 

      Garbin, Gabrielle; Costa, Albert; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Forn, Cristina; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Belloch, Vicente; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2011-12)
      The left inferior frontal cortex, the caudate and the anterior cingulate have been proposed as the neural origin of language switching, but most of the studies were conducted in low proficient bilinguals. In the present ...
