Low socioeconomic status (L-SES) and the experience of traumatic stressful events (TSEs) are environmental factors implicated in behavioral deficits, abnormalities brain development, accelerated maturation. However, relative contribution these is understudied.To compare association L-SES TSEs with psychopathology, puberty, neurocognition, multimodal neuroimaging parameters maturation.The Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort a community-based study examining among participants recruited...
Action (verb) fluency is a newly developed verbal task that requires the examinee to rapidly generate as many verbs (i.e., “things people do”) possible within 1 min. Existing literature indicates action may be more sensitive frontal–basal ganglia loop pathophysiology than traditional noun tasks (e.g., animal fluency), which consistent with hypothesized neural dissociation between and verb retrieval. In current study, series of analyses were undertaken examine psychometric properties in...

Abstract Background Traumatic stressors during childhood and adolescence are associated with psychopathology, mostly studied in the context of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) depression. We investigated broader associations traumatic exposure psychopathology cognition a youth community sample. Methods The Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort ( N = 9498) is an investigation clinical neurobehavioral phenotypes diverse (56% Caucasian, 33% African American, 11% other) US population (aged...
Chronic use of methamphetamine (MA) is associated with neuropsychological dysfunction and affective distress. Some normalization function has been reported after abstinence, but little in the way data available on possible added benefits long-term sobriety. To address this, we performed detailed evaluations 83 MA-dependent individuals at a baseline visit following an average one-year interval period. Among participants, 25 remained abstinent, 58 used MA least once during A total 38...
The incidence and prevalence of older adults living with HIV infection is increasing. Recent reports increased neuropathologic metabolic alterations in HIV+ samples, including cortical beta-amyloid, have led some researchers to suggest that aging may produce a neuropsychological profile akin which observed "cortical" dementias (e.g., impairment memory consolidation). To evaluate this possibility, we examined four groups classified by serostatus age (i.e., younger ≤40 years ≥50 years): (1)...
Article AbstractObjective: Sexual trauma during military service is increasingly recognized as a substantial public health problem and associated with detrimental effects on veteran mental health. In this study, we examined associations between childhood trauma, sexual (MST), combat exposure, military-related posttraumatic stress symptomatology (PTSS) in the Women Veterans Cohort Study (WVCS), community-based sample of veterans who served recent conflicts Iraq Afghanistan.Method: From July...
Abstract Objectives: Numerous studies have shown that individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) display reduced performances on neuropsychological tests, although most prior research has not adequately accounted for comorbidities or performance validity concerns are common in this population and could partially account the observed neurocognitive findings. Moreover, few examined functional implications of results PTSD. Methods: We functioning 44 veterans PTSD 40 veteran trauma...
Background The contribution of ‘environment’ has been investigated across diverse and multiple domains related to health. However, in the context large-scale genomic studies focus on obtaining individual-level endophenotypes with environment left for future decomposition. Geo-social research indicated that environment-level variables can be reduced, these composites then used other as intuitive, precise representations research. Method Using a large community sample ( N = 9498) from...
Abstract The anterior hippocampus (aHPC) has a central role in the regulation of anxiety-related behavior, stress response, emotional memory and fear. However, little is known about presence extent aHPC abnormalities posttraumatic disorder (PTSD). In this study, we used multimodal approach, along with graph-based measures global brain connectivity (GBC) termed functional GBC signal regression ( f -GBCr) diffusion d -GBC), combat-exposed US Veterans without PTSD. Seed-based anatomical...
