Advancing knowledge of human development, developmental disabilities, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Neonatal hypoxia ischemia (HI) related brain injury is one of the major causes of life-long neurological morbidities that result in learning and memory impairments.
How does cognitive inhibition influence speaking? The Stroop effect is a classic demonstration of the interference between reading and color naming.
ADHD polygenic scores (PGSs) have been previously shown to predict ADHD outcomes in several studies. However, ADHD PGSs are typically correlated with ADHD but not necessarily reflective of causal mechanisms.
Musashi1, a neural RNA binding protein, is important in translationally repressing target transcripts during quiescence in adult hippocampal neural stem cells
Higher education has been shown to have neuroprotective effects, reducing the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, slowing the rate of age-related cognitive decline, and is associated with lower rates of early mortality.
Although cochlear implants (CIs) facilitate spoken language acquisition, many CI listeners experience difficulty learning new words.
The extent to which amyloid-β burden and neurofibrillary tau tangle burden are associated with synaptic degeneration in vivo is not well known.
Imaging-based quantitative measures from diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) offer the ability to non-invasively extract microscopic information from human brain tissues.
Expressive language impairments are common among school-age boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autistic boys.
Methods for the detection of neural signals involve a compromise between invasiveness, spatiotemporal resolution, and the number of neurons or brain regions recorded.
