Background Stress is consistently implicated in depression. Using a vulnerability-stress framework, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis may be one factor affecting stress-depression association. However, interactive influence of recent life stress and HPA functioning on depressive symptoms remains unclear. It particularly important to understand synergistic association during adolescence, as this developmental period associated with high risk for Methods A community sample 58...
Summary Objective We aimed to predict language deficits after epilepsy surgery. In addition evaluating surgical factors examined previously, we determined the impact of extent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation that was resected on naming ability. Method Thirty‐five adults (mean age 37.5 ± 10.9 years, 13 male) with temporal lobe completed a preoperative fMRI auditory description decision task, which reliably activates frontal and networks. Patients underwent resections...
A preliminary study by Sneddon et al. (2005) using visual working memory tasks coupled with quantified EEG (qEEG) analysis distinguished mild dementia subjects from normal aging ones a high degree of accuracy. The present hypothesizes that simpler task such as having subject count backwards mentally can be qEEG to yield similar accuracy for classifying early dementia. focuses on participants cognitive impairment (MCI) and includes both delayed match-to-sample (working memory) counting (eyes...
Adolescence and early adulthood are the peak ages for onset of unipolar bipolar mood disorders. Moreover, most individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), symptoms impairment begin in childhood but persist well into adolescence (e.g., Barkley, 2010). Thus, represent a developmental window wherein can be affected by disorders, ADHD, or both. Because treatment protocols depression (UPD), (BD), ADHD quite different, it is crucial that assessment instruments used among...
Executive function (EF) difficulties are a core neuropsychological feature of pediatric epilepsy, and parent-report measures EF concerns an important complement to task-based measures. The Behavior Rating Inventory Function (BRIEF) has shown sensitivity parent-reported in epilepsy other populations. We compared profiles using the BRIEF its revision, BRIEF2, 117 patients with focal onset examine clinical utility revised scale. then BRIEF2 between age- gender-matched healthy controls. Among...
Abstract Amygdala abnormalities are widely documented in bipolar spectrum disorders (BSD). volume typically is measured after BSD onset; thus, it not known whether amygdala predict risk or relate to the disorder. Additionally, past literature often treated as a homogeneous structure, and did consider its distinct subnuclei their differential connectivity other brain regions. To address these issues, we used behavioral high‐risk design diffusion‐based subsegmentation examine among...
Though many institutions provide robust first-year experience programs to help students adjust college life, similar designed for second-year are generally limited or nonexistent. As a result, often face unique stressors and developmental milestones with diminished institutional support. This study describes how comprehensive program at one university contributes students’ holistic development: namely, their sense of belonging, perseverance, self-efficacy. From these results, we implications...
While there are growing national advocacy efforts to advance equity in neuropsychology, fewer initiatives exist at local and regional levels. The Philadelphia Neuropsychology Society's (PNS) Equity Forum was created provide diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI)-related support, advocacy, resources trainees, professionals, communities. We describe the Forum's promote policies, educate, offer support a level.We conducted an archival review of activities PNS from January 2021 April 2023, including...
The Department of Defense (DoD) has employed modeling and simulation (M&S) tools in vulnerability lethality (V/L) assessments weapon/target systems for many years. A wide variety exist that are used to conduct specific aspects analyzing weapon effectiveness and/or target susceptibility blast, fragment penetration, hardened etc. Previously, a somewhat natural separation domains existed these models among surface mobile, ground fixed airborne classes. However, it become evident the methods...
