Mapping brain activity during loss of situation awareness: An EEG investigation of a basis for top-down influence on perception (2014)
Journal Article
Catherwood, D., Edgar, G., Nikolla, D., Brookes, D., Baker, S., White, S., & Alford, C. (2014). Mapping brain activity during loss of situation awareness: An EEG investigation of a basis for top-down influence on perception. Human Factors,

Objective: The objective was to map brain activity during early intervals in loss of situation awareness (SA) to examine any co-activity in visual and high-order regions, reflecting grounds for top-down influences on Level 1 SA. Background: Behavior... Read More about Mapping brain activity during loss of situation awareness: An EEG investigation of a basis for top-down influence on perception.

The branched-chain aminotransferase proteins: Novel redox chaperones for protein disulfide isomerase-implications in Alzheimer's disease (2014)
Journal Article
Patel, V. B., Lee, C., El Hindy, M., Hezwani, M., Corry, D., Hull, J., …Conway, M. E. (2014). The branched-chain aminotransferase proteins: Novel redox chaperones for protein disulfide isomerase-implications in Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 20(16), 2497-2513. https://doi.org/10.1089/ars.2012.4869

Aims: The human branched-chain aminotransferase proteins (hBCATm and hBCATc) are regulated through oxidation and S-nitrosation. However, it remains unknown whether they share common redox characteristics to enzymes such as protein disulfide isomerase...

Effects of mixing alcohol with caffeinated beverages on subjective intoxication: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2014)
Journal Article
Benson, S., Verster, J. C., Alford, C., & Scholey, A. (2014). Effects of mixing alcohol with caffeinated beverages on subjective intoxication: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 47, 16-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2014.07.008

It has been suggested that mixing alcohol with energy drinks or other caffeinated beverages may alter the awareness of (or 'mask') intoxication. The proposed reduction in subjective intoxication may have serious consequences by increasing the likelih...
