Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Scand J Psychol 43:105-12. 2002..Also noted are ways in which these non-associative processes may enhance associative learning of workplace-avoidance behaviors that are exceptionally persistent - even in the absence of further somatic discomfort...
Sensitization and conditioning as contributors to gastrointestinal vulnerabilityJ Bruce Overmier
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota Elliott Hall, 75 East River Rd, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Auton Neurosci 125:22-7. 2006..We conclude that psychological context of past trauma and/or current threat increases vulnerability to gastrointestinal disorders...
On learned helplessnessJ Bruce Overmier
Center for Cognitive Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
Integr Physiol Behav Sci 37:4-8. 2002..The heuristic value as well as the wide ranging empirical value of the research domain is lauded. The meretricious emerging social and legal barriers to this research are noted to be unrealistic and unfortunate...
Conditional choice-unique outcomes establish expectancies that mediate choice behaviorJ B Overmier
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Integr Physiol Behav Sci 36:173-81. 2001..These facts have stimulated many questions and experiments about learning and memory mechanisms and fostered potential applications...
Inhibition of return in aging and Alzheimer's disease: performance as a function of task demands and stimulus timingL K Langley
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA
J Clin Exp Neuropsychol 23:431-46. 2001..These results suggest that IOR may show differential age- and AD-related vulnerabilities depending on task conditions and timing characteristics...
Prediction of individual vulnerability to stress-induced gastric ulcerations in rats: a factor analysis of selected behavioral and biological indicesJ B Overmier
Faculty of Psychology, University of Bergen, Norway
Physiol Behav 61:555-62. 1997..the dopaminergic system may be intimately involved in the causal path of ulcerogenicity...
Inflammatory pathogenesis in Alzheimer's disease: biological mechanisms and cognitive sequeliE Gahtan
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 23:615-33. 1999..Alzheimer's disease is proposed to be an etiologically heterogeneous syndrome with the common elements of amyloid deposition and inflammatory neuronal damage...
Inhibition and habituation: preserved mechanisms of attentional selection in aging and Alzheimer's diseaseL K Langley
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Neuropsychology 12:353-66. 1998..Distraction increased with aging and AD, whereas inhibition and habituation showed no age- or AD-related decline, suggesting that inhibition and habituation still function to aid attentional selection in older adults and adults with AD...
Intrahippocampal injections of exogenous beta-amyloid induce postdelay errors in an eight-arm radial mazeW A Sweeney
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Neurobiol Learn Mem 68:97-101. 1997..These results suggest that contrary to previous findings, beta A4 does have acute effects when challenged with a short-term memory load and may play a significant role in some memory deficits seen in Alzheimer's disease...

Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 22:99-120. 1998..However, the parallel is not definitive and more work is needed to clarify the relationship between neurobiology and behavior in AD...
