<h3>Background:</h3> Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with severe impairments in social functioning. Because faces provide nonverbal cues that support interactions, many studies of ASD have examined neural structures process faces, including the amygdala, ventromedial prefrontal cortex and superior middle temporal gyri. However, increases or decreases activation often contingent on cognitive task. Specifically, domain attention influences group differences brain activation. We...
The sacred texts of five world religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism) use similar belief systems to set limits on sexual behavior. We propose that this similarity is a shared cultural solution biological problem: namely male uncertainty over the paternity offspring. Furthermore, we hypothesis religious practices more strongly regulate female sexuality should be successful at promoting certainty. Using genetic data 1,706 father–son pairs, tested in traditional...
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) involve a core deficit in social functioning and impairments the ability to recognize face emotions. In an emotional faces task designed constrain group differences attention, present study used functional MRI characterize activation amygdala, ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), striatum, three structures involved socio-emotional processing adolescents with ASD.Twenty-two ASD 20 healthy viewed facial expressions (happy, fearful, sad neutral) that were briefly...
Given that depression in men is associated with risk for seriously adverse consequences, evaluating how putative neural mechanisms of depression-such as reward-related frontostriatal connectivity-may be altered late adolescent boys a history an important research aim. Adolescents and adults have been demonstrated to show blunted striatal response heightened medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) activation winning reward. Function reward circuits appears best understood coordination regions within...
Abstract In discussing the effects of grandparents on child survival in natural fertility populations, Coall & Hertwig (C&H) rely extensively review by Sear and Mace (2008). We conducted a more detailed summary same literature found that evidence favor beneficial associations between grandparenting is generally weak or absent. The present state data human alloparenting supports restricted use term “cooperative breeding.” Human stem family situations with celibate helpers-at-the-nest...
Evolutionary anthropologists have proposed that unilineal kinship promotes collective action and patriliny occurs when the reproductive payoff from passing wealth to sons is greater than for daughters. We assess both of these theoretical perspectives as well indirect reciprocity kin selection possible contributors patrilineal cooperation in Dogon Mali. The mean coefficient relatedness males (N = 4,724) 31 patrilineages r 0.03, which very low (akin second cousins). However, 638 work-eat...
Individuals with clubfoot, treated in infancy either the Ponseti method or comprehensive clubfoot release, often encounter pain as adults. Multiple studies have characterized residual deformity after surgical correction using physical exam, radiographs and pedobarography; however, relationship between foot is not well defined. The purpose of current study was 2-fold: (1) to evaluate morphology for young adults infants idiopathic (2) describe compare pedobarographic measures outcome among...
Background: Ollier's disease is a non-hereditary skeletal disorder. Orthopedic management of limb length discrepancy could be complex given the nature bone pathology, significant amount and difficulty to predict it. The goal study identify outcomes complications associated with surgical discrepancy. Methods: This an IRB approved, retrospective review patients who had lengthening. age at time surgery, total for each individual bone, lengthening as ratio itself, type fixator, duration are...

Adults with pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) require long-term care and demonstrate elevated risk of secondary health conditions psychosocial challenges. Medical providers are typically found in more populous wealthy areas, resulting a relative lack rural discrepancy even pronounced among specialty providers. As result, those who reside regions potentially have unmet medical needs, representing significant public concern. The purpose this study was to assess differences between...
Human motion analysis is a tool used to understand orthopaedic disabilities in children and plan monitor treatment strategies. It enables clinicians quantitatively describe rehabilitative progress, surgeries, conduct research. While this technology prevalent major academic medical centers, access lacking many regions throughout the world. This paper presents novel approach offer more accessible at greatly reduced cost. Current applications are underway Philippines, Mexico, Colombia. Through...
