Electronic transport in graphene with out-of-plane disorder

Real-world samples of graphene often exhibit various types of out-of-plane disorder-ripples, wrinkles and folds-introduced at the stage of growth and transfer processes. These complex out-of-plane defects resulting from the interplay between self-adhesion ...

Amygdala volumes and associations with socio-emotional competencies in preterm youth: cross-sectional and longitudinal data

Elda Fischi Gomez, Vanessa Siffredi, Laura Ioana Gui, Petra Susan Hüppi

Background Socio-emotional difficulties often result from very preterm (VPT) birth. The amygdala's developmental trajectory, including its nuclei, has been recognized as a significant factor in observed difficulties. This study aims to assess the relations ...

Cannabis use, cannabis use disorder and mental health disorders among pregnant and postpartum women in the US: A nationally representative study

Aaron Leor Sarvet

Background: Cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) are associated with mental health disorders, however the extent of this matter among pregnant and recently postpartum (e.g., new moms) women in the US is un-known. Associations between cannabis use, ...

Atomic-level structure determination of amorphous molecular solids by NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Arthur César Pinon, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Manuel Cordova

Structure determination of amorphous materials remains challenging, owing to the disorder inherent to these materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) powder crystallography is a powerful method to determine the structure of molecular solids, but disorder ...

Glucocorticoid-based pharmacotherapies preventing PTSD

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Silvia Monari

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly disabling psychiatric condition that may arise after exposure to acute and severe trauma. It is a highly prevalent mental disorder worldwide, and the current treatment options for these patients remain limit ...

Behavioral outcome of very preterm children at 5 years of age: Prognostic utility of brain tissue volumes at term-equivalent-age, perinatal, and environmental factors

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

ObjectivePrematurity is associated with a high risk of long-term behavioral problems. This study aimed to assess the prognostic utility of volumetric brain data at term-equivalent-age (TEA), clinical perinatal factors, and parental social economic risk in ...

CDKL5 sculpts functional callosal connectivity to promote cognitive flexibility

Valerio Zerbi

Functional and structural connectivity alterations in short- and long-range projections have been reported across neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Interhemispheric callosal projection neurons (CPN) represent one of the major long-range projections in th ...

Identification of biopsychological trait markers in functional neurological disorders

Serafeim Loukas

Weber et al. provide evidence in support of a stress-diathesis model of functional neurological disorders. They identify trauma history in the form of emotional neglect as a psychological risk factor, and reduced hippocampus and amygdala volume as a predis ...

Analysis and Remediation of Handwriting difficulties

Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn

Even with correct training, up to 25% of children never master handwriting like their peers. While research shows a correlation between handwriting difficulties and school failure, these difficulties can also impact children in their self esteem and behavi ...

The effect of frontoparietal paired associative stimulation on decision-making and working memory

Traian Popa

Previous single-site neurostimulation experiments have unsuccessfully attempted to shift decision-making away from habitual control, a fast, inflexible cognitive strategy, towards goal-directed control, a flexible, though computationally expensive strategy ...

Evolution of the neurochemical profiles in the G93A-SOD1 mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Rolf Gruetter, Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

In vivo (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) investigations of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse brain may provide neurochemical profiles and alterations in association with ALS disease progression. We aimed to longitudinally follow neur ...

Brain metabolic alterations in mice subjected to postnatal traumatic stress and in their offspring

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Alberto Corcoba

Adverse environmental and social conditions early in life have a strong impact on health. They are major risk factors for mental diseases in adulthood and, in some cases, their effects can be transmitted across generations. The consequences of detrimental ...

Acute stress alters individual risk taking in a time-dependent manner and leads to anti-social risk

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Leyla Loued-Khenissi, Fiona Hollis, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Decision-making processes can be modulated by stress, and the time elapsed from stress induction seems to be a crucial factor in determining the direction of the effects. Although current approaches consider the ﬁrst post-stress hour a uniform period, the ...

Effects of paternal and peripubertal stress on aggression, anxiety, and metabolic alterations in the lateral septum

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Nathalie Just, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier

Early-life stress and biological predispositions are linked to mood and personality disorders related to aggressive behavior. We previously showed that exposure to peripubertal stress leads to increased anxiety-like behaviors and aggression against males a ...
