Operational Implementation of the Healthy Communities Study How Communities Shape Children’s Health
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-10-01)The Healthy Communities Study (HCS) is examining how characteristics of community programs and policies targeting childhood obesity are related to childhood diet, physical activity, and obesity outcomes. The study involves ... -
Measuring Community Programs and Policies in the Healthy Communities Study
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-10-01)Childhood obesity is a challenging public health issue facing communities throughout the U.S. Local efforts are believed to be essential to assuring environments that support physical activity and healthy food/beverage ... -
The role of cerebellar circuitry alterations in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders
(Frontiers Media, 2016-09-01)The cerebellum has been repeatedly implicated in gene expression, rodent model and post-mortem studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). How cellular and molecular anomalies of the cerebellum relate to clinical manifestations ... -
Feedforward and Feedback Motor Control Abnormalities Implicate Cerebellar Dysfunctions in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015-02-04)Sensorimotor abnormalities are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and among the earliest manifestations of the disorder. They have been studied far less than the social-communication and cognitive deficits that define ... -
Neurobehavioral Abnormalities in Firest-Degree Relative of Individuals With Autism
(American Medical Association, 2010-08)CONTEXT: Studying sensorimotor and neurocognitive impairments in unaffected family members of individuals with autism may help identify familial pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the disorder. OBJECTIVE: To ... -
Longitudinal Study of Amygdala Volume and Joint Attention in 2- to 4-Year-Old Children With Autism
(American Medical Association, 2009-05)CONTEXT: Cerebral cortical volume enlargement has been reported in 2- to 4-year-olds with autism. Little is known about the volume of subregions during this period of development. The amygdala is hypothesized to be abnormal ... -
Pediatric weight management interventions in primary care settings: A meta-analysis
(American Psychological Association, 2016-07)Objective: Although the primary care setting has been recommended as an acceptable environment for pediatric overweight/obesity treatment, a quantitative analysis has not been conducted to determine the effectiveness of ... -
Change in health-related quality of life in the context of pediatric obesity interventions: A meta-analytic review.
(American Psychological Association, 2016-10)Objective: To quantitatively characterize change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the context of behavioral (n = 16), surgical (n = 5), and pharmacological (n = 1) interventions for pediatric overweight and ... -
Sensorimotor dysfunctions as primary features of autism spectrum disorders
(SpringerOpen, 2015-10)Motor impairments in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have received far less research attention than core social-communication and cognitive features. Yet, behavioral, neurophysiological, neuroimaging and histopathological ... -
Saccade Adaptation Abnormalities Implicate Dysfunction of Cerebellar-Dependent Learning Mechanisms in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-21)The cerebellar vermis (lobules VI-VII) has been implicated in both postmortem and neuroimaging studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This region maintains the consistent accuracy of saccadic eye movements and plays ... -
Resting state EEG abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-13)Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of complex and heterogeneous developmental disorders involving multiple neural system dysfunctions. In an effort to understand neurophysiological substrates, identify ... -
Saccadic eye movement abnormalities in autism spectrum disorder indicate dysfunctions in cerebellum and brainstem
(BioMed Central, 2014-08-28) -
Impaired Brain Dopamine and Serotonin Release and Uptake in Wistar Rats Following Treatment with Carbotplatin
(American Chemical Society, 2015-06-15)Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, known also as “chemobrain”, is a medical complication of cancer treatment that is characterized by a general decline in cognition affecting visual and verbal memory, attention, ... -
Using Crowdsourcing to Examine Relations Between Delay and Probability Discounting
(Elsevier, 2016-01-29)Although the extensive lines of research on delay and/or probability discounting have greatly expanded our understanding of human decision-making processes, the relation between these two phenomena remains unclear. For ... -
The role of cerebellar circuitry alterations in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders
(Frontiers, 2015-09-01)The cerebellum has been repeatedly implicated in gene expression, rodent model and post-mortem studies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). How cellular and molecular anomalies of the cerebellum relate to clinical manifestations ... -
Longitudinal trends in food cravings following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in an adolescent sample
(Elsevier, 2014-06-07)Background Food cravings are more prevalent and potentially problematic for many individuals with obesity. Initial evidence suggests that bariatric surgery has some short-term beneficial effects on cravings in adults, ... -
Competing neurobehavioral decision systems and the neuroeconomics of craving in opioid addiction
(Dovepress, 2014-10-08)Craving is typically thought of as a classically conditioned response characterized by an elevated mesolimbic dopamine response to drug-related stimuli. Although this definition has spurred considerable research, the ... -
Exponential Demand Simulation Tool
(2015-05-15)Operant behavioral economics investigates the relation between environmental constraint and reinforcer consumption. The standard approach to quantifying this relation is through the use of behavioral economic demand curves. ... -
Matching Law Visualization Tool
(2015-05-15)Herrnstein’s quantitative law of effect describes relative allocation of behavior as a function of relative rates of reinforcement. This robust relation has since been termed the “matching law” and is expressed in either ... -
Delay Discounting Visualization Tool
(2015-05-15)Delay discounting is a behavioral process wherein the subjective value of a reward is discounted as a function of its delay. Rates of delay discounting are linked to myriad risky decisions. Given the robust ability to ...
