Title Cerebral mechanisms for understanding emotional prosody in speech Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Brain and Language Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 96 Issue 2 Pages 221-234
Keywords Emotion; Prosody; Speech; Laterality; Brain-damaged; Patient study; Sentence processing; Social cognitive neuroscience
Abstract Hemispheric contributions to the processing of emotional speech prosody were investigated by comparing adults with a focal lesion involving the right (n = 9) or left (n = 11) hemisphere and adults without brain damage (n = 12). Participants listened to semantically anomalous utterances in three conditions (discrimination, identification, and rating) which assessed their recognition of five prosodic emotions under the influence of different task- and response-selection demands. Findings revealed that right- and left-hemispheric lesions were associated with impaired comprehension of prosody, although possibly for distinct reasons: right-hemisphere compromise produced a more pervasive insensitivity to emotive features of prosodic stimuli, whereas left-hemisphere damage yielded greater difficulties interpreting prosodic representations as a code embedded with language content.

Title Right hemispheric dominance in processing of unconscious negative emotion Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Brain and Cognition Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 62 Issue 3 Pages 261-266
Keywords Right hemispheric dominance; Unconscious negative emotion; Subliminal affective priming; Emotional facial expressions
Abstract Right hemispheric dominance in unconscious emotional processing has been suggested, but remains controversial. This issue was investigated using the subliminal affective priming paradigm combined with unilateral visual presentation in 40 normal subjects. In either left or right visual fields, angry facial expressions, happy facial expressions, or plain gray images were briefly presented as negative, positive, and control primes, followed by a mosaic mask. Then nonsense target ideographs were presented, and the subjects evaluated their partiality toward the targets. When the stimuli were presented in the left, but not the right, visual fields, the negative primes reduced the subjects' liking for the targets, relative to the case of the positive or control primes. These results provided behavioral evidence supporting the hypothesis that the right hemisphere is dominant for unconscious negative emotional processing.

Title Animal Communication: Parent-Offspring Type Book Chapter
Year 2006 Publication Encyclopedia of Language & Linguistics Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume Issue Pages 284-288
Keywords Begging Strategies; Communication; Competition; Feeding Strategies; Fitness; Parental Care; Parent-Offspring Conflict; Recognition; Sibling Conflict
Abstract Parent-offspring communication has evolved under strong selection to guarantee that the valuable resource of parental care is expended efficiently on raising offspring. To ensure allocation of parental care to their own offspring, individual recognition becomes established in higher vertebrates when the young become mobile at a time when a nest site can no longer provide a safe cue to recognition. Such recognition needs to be established by rapid, sometimes imprinting-like, processes in animals producing precocial offspring. In parents, offering strategies that stimulate feeding and entice offspring to approach the right site have evolved. Such parental signals can be olfactory, acoustic, or visual. In offspring, begging strategies involve shuffling for the best place to obtain food – be this the most productive teat or the best position in the nest. This involves signals that make the offspring particularly obvious to the parent. Parents often feed young according to their signaling intensity but may also show favoritism for weaker offspring. Offspring signals also serve to communicate the continuing presence of the young and may thereby maintain brood-care behavior in parents. Internal processes in parents may end parental care irrespective of further signaling by offspring, thus ensuring that offspring cannot manipulate parents into providing substantially more care than is optimal for their own fitness.

Title Einfluss reduzierter Futterzuteilung zweier verschiedener Heuqualitäten auf Passagedauer und Verdaulichkeit bei Ponies Type Manuscript
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Über die Auswirkungen der Futtermenge und der Futterqualität auf die scheinbare

Verdaulichkeit und die mittlere Retentionszeit beim Pferd gibt es zahlreiche Arbeiten

mit zum Teil recht widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen. So existiert eine Hypothese,

wonach bei geringerer Energiedichte im Futter die TS-Aufnahme steigt und die

mittlere Retentionszeit abnimmt. Dadurch soll bei Equiden eine ausreichende

Energieaufnahme trotz geringer Energiedichte im Futter erreicht werden (JANIS

1976, DUNCAN et al.1990). In nahezu allen Studien zu diesem Thema wurden Futter

mit unterschiedlichem Nährstoffgehalt bei konstanter Futteraufnahme bzw. ad libitum

Fütterung untersucht. Nur bei PEARSON et al. (2001 und 2006) findet sich für jedes

Futter ein Vergleich von zwei verschiedenen Futtermengen, nämlich ad libitum und

70% der ad libitum Futteraufnahme. Systematische Untersuchungen bei Pferden zu

Futtermengen, die unterhalb des Erhaltungsbedarfes liegen, fehlen bisher.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen deshalb im Wesentlichen drei Fragen geklärt

werden:

· Gibt es einen Einfluss von Futtermengen unterhalb des Erhaltungsbedarfes auf

die mittlere Retentionszeit?

· Haben Veränderungen der mittleren Retentionszeit einen Einfluss auf die

scheinbare Verdaulichkeit?

· Wie unterscheiden sich diese Effekte in Abhängigkeit von der

Futterzusammensetzung?

Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie sollen vor allem bezüglich ihrer Auswirkungen auf die

praktische Pferdefütterung betrachtet werden.

Title Altruistic Helping in Human Infants and Young Chimpanzees Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Science Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 311 Issue 5765 Pages 1301-1303
Keywords
Abstract Human beings routinely help others to achieve their goals, even when the helper receives no immediate benefit and the person helped is a stranger. Such altruistic behaviors (toward non-kin) are extremely rare evolutionarily, with some theorists even proposing that they are uniquely human. Here we show that human children as young as 18 months of age (prelinguistic or just-linguistic) quite readily help others to achieve their goals in a variety of different situations. This requires both an understanding of others' goals and an altruistic motivation to help. In addition, we demonstrate similar though less robust skills and motivations in three young chimpanzees.

Title Pferde in Gruppenhaltung: Eine Betrachtung aus tierärztlicher Sicht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Verletzungsrisikos [Group housing of horses: veterinary considerations with a focus on the prevention of bite and kick injuries] Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Pferdeheilkunde Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 22 Issue 3 Pages 254-258
Keywords Verhalten, Gruppenhaltung, Prävention, Schlagverletzungen, Bissverletzungen, Tierschutz [Behaviour, group housing, prevention, bite injuries, kick injuries, animal protection]
Abstract Mit der zunehmenden Bedeutung der Gruppenhaltung von Pferden ist die Tierärzteschaft gefordert mitzuhelfen, das Verletzungsrisiko in

Gruppenhaltungssystemen zu verringern. Dem Vermeiden von Schlag- und Bissverletzungen kommt hierbei eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Präventive

Maßnahmen konzentrieren sich im Wesentlichen auf die Gruppenzusammensetzung und Eingliederung neuer Pferde sowie auf die

Gestaltung der Haltungssysteme. Die Raumaufteilung und die Fütterungstechnik müssen equidentypisches Verhalten (Lokomotion, langandauernde

Futteraufnahme und schadensfreie soziale Interaktionen) erlauben. Es gilt, Kenntnisse über Zusammenhänge zwischen Haltung,

Fütterung, Nutzung, Verhalten und Gesundheit an Pferdehalter und Stallbaufirmen weiterzugeben.

[Although group housing of horses has become common practice, the risk of equine injury is substantial. The veterinary community is challenged

to reduce this risk, particularly with regard to injuries caused by kicking and biting. Preventive measures should focus on the disposition

of horses within the group, the introduction of new horses to the group and the design of the housing facility. Feeding methods as

well as the structure of the environment should meet the physiological requirements for horses; there should be adequate space for exercise,

extended foraging and the possibility of benign social interactions. Veterinarians need to educate horse owners and builders of equine

facilities about the husbandry, feeding, use, behaviour and health of horses.]

Title Neurobiological Consequences of Early Stress and Childhood Maltreatment: Are Results from Human and Animal Studies Comparable? Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 1071 Issue 1 Pages 313-323
Keywords adolescence; maltreatment; hippocampus; corpus callosum; translational research; sensitive periods; stress; abuse or neglect
Abstract Abstract: Recent studies have reported an association between exposure to childhood abuse or neglect and alterations in brain structure or function. One limitation of these studies is that they are correlational and do not provide evidence of a cause–effect relationship. Preclinical studies on the effects of exposure to early life stress can demonstrate causality, and can enrich our understanding of the clinical research if we hypothesize that the consequences of early abuse are predominantly mediated through the induction of stress responses. Exposure to early abuse and early stress has each been associated with the emergence of epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, alterations in corpous callosum area, and reduced volume or synaptic density of the hippocampus.Further, there is evidence that different brain regions have unique periods when they are maximally sensitive to the effects of early stress. To date, preclinical studies have guided clinical investigations and will continue to provide important insight into studies on molecular mechanisms and gene–environment interactions.

Title Saddle pressure measuring: Validity, reliability and power to discriminate between different saddle-fits Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication The Veterinary Journal Abbreviated Journal (up)
Volume 172 Issue 2 Pages 265-273
Keywords Horse; Pressure; Back; Saddle; Saddle-fit
Abstract Saddle-fit is recognised as an important factor in the pathogenesis of back problems in horses and is empirically being evaluated by pressure measurements in clinical practice, although not much is known about the validity, reliability and usability of these devices in the equine field. This study was conducted to assess critically a pressure measurement system marketed for evaluating saddle fit. Validity was tested by calculating the correlation coefficient between total measured pressure and the weight of 28 different riders. Reliability and discriminative power with respect to different saddle fitting methods were evaluated in a highly standardised, paired measurement set-up in which saddle-fit was quantified by air-pressure values inside the panels of the saddle. Total pressures under the saddle correlated well with riders’ weight. A large increase in over-day sensor variation was found. Within trial intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were excellent, but the between trial ICCs varied from poor to excellent and the variation in total pressure was high. In saddles in which the fit was adjusted to individual asymmetries of the horse, the pressure measurement device was able to detect correctly air-pressure differences between the two panels in the back area of the saddle, but not in the front area. The device yielded valid results, but was only reliable in highly standardised conditions. The results question the indiscriminate use of current saddle pressure measurement devices for the quantitative assessment of saddle-fit under practical conditions and suggest that further technical improvement may be necessary.
