Glutamate and MDMA Neurobehavioral Toxicity
±-3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is a ring-substituted amphetamine derivative, and a popular psychoactive drug of abuse. This drug evokes a well-documented acute increase in the release of serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine, as well as persistent reductions in markers of …

Neurobehavioral and Neurophysiological Correlates of Health Behaviors
… disease, anxiety, and depression. Using a neurobehavioral approach, I examined the hypothesis that neurobehaviors are impaired in clinical populations, and that exercise improves these neurobehaviors as well as the underlying mechanisms. In the first study, I found that a range of …

Exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds and Effect on Neurobehavioral Function.
… of specific chemicals were analyzed. Neurobehavioral function was assessed by simple reaction time test (SRTT), symbol digit substitution test (SDST), and serial digit learning test (SDLT). Prevalence of exposure to VOC products was, for instance, air freshener/room deodorant - 34.7%, …

Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Supporting the Generalization of Learned Fear in Humans
<p>An inescapable component to survival in a dynamic environment is detecting and reacting to signals of danger. One of the most elegant processes animals possess to handle this complex task is classical conditioning, wherein stimuli associated with an aversive event acquire the capacity to elicit …

Parental Factors Impacting Neurobehavioral Late Effects in Latino Pediatric Cancer Survivors
… disease, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Neurobehavioral late effects are some of the most debilitating late effects found, particularly in survivors of central nervous system (CNS) cancers. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of clinical and socio-demographic parenting …

Temporal Dynamics at the Neurobehavioral Interface: In Search of a Common Currency
The human cortex evokes a vast repertoire of timescales in its neural activity, the Intrinsic Neural Timescales (INT) which are manifest in both time and frequency domain. However, the relationship of the brain’s INT to the varied timescales of behavior remains unclear. I investigate the dynamics …

Sensory and cognitive processing deficits in anxious depressed children: a neurobehavioral study
The neurobehavioral effects of anxiety and depression on functional systems of the right posterior and left frontal regions were measured in two groups of 9 to 11 year old boys to determine whether children exhibit processing and motor deficits similar to those found in previous studies of …

The neurobehavioral correlates of affect perception as a function of verbal fluency classification
The Dichotic Emotional Words Tape developed by Bryden and MacCrae (1989) was used to assess cerebral asymmetry for propositional and nonpropositional speech as a function of verbal fluency. Forty-five right-handed subjects with normal auditory acuity for pure tones were assigned to a verbal fluency …

Online parental accounts regarding a multimodal intervention for neurobehavioral disorders : A qualitative descriptive study
… their child through a multimodal program for neurobehavioral disorders. Limitations, implications and areas of future research pertaining to the study are discussed. This study can inform parents’ decision making around interventions and provides support for further research in biomedical and …

Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Contributing To Alterations In Food Intake Driven By Caudal Hindbrain Acting Signals
… As such, this dissertation investigates the neurobehavioral mechanisms contributing to alterations in food intake driven by caudal hindbrain acting signals as well as investigations of neurobehavioral individual differences in responsivity to a subset of these signals as risk factors for the …

Predictors Of Interindividual Differences In Vulnerability To Neurobehavioral Consequences Of Chronic Partial Sleep Restriction
Interindividual differences in neurobehavioral response to sleep loss are ubiquitous and unexplained. Numerous factors have been examined as potential predictors of phenotypic response to sleep loss but none have yielded a comprehensive view of the phenomenon. This dissertation examines the impact …

Neurobehavioral and neurochemical effects of ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in perinatally exposed rats
… but there is little information on the neurobehavioral effects of these congeners.

Neurobehavioral mechanisms of social cognition and emotion regulation: A behavioral and functional brain imaging approach
… Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the neurobehavioral mechanisms associated with these socioemotional processes would provide unique insights into the factors that may render individuals susceptible to or resilient against socioemotional distress. Despite significant advances in …

Impact of a novel relaxation method of touch on neonatal neurobehavioral development among very preterm infants
… a 5-week period did not differ significantly in neurobehavioral developmental and growth velocity compared to control infants. However, very preterm infants who received the M Technique had improved physiologic stability and more quiet sleep states from baseline to 10 minutes post the M Technique …

Predictors of Persistent Neurobehavioral Symptoms in Adolescents with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Using a Novel Clinical Tool
… of predictors was associated with persistent neurobehavioral symptoms in adolescents with mTBI. A combination of pre-injury and injury predictors was significantly associated with self-reported Negative Affect and Fatigue symptoms (F (8,93) =6.09, p<.001) and Executive and Social Function …

The Effects of Dendro[60]Fullerene on Neurobehavioral Outcome and Cerebral Vascular Function After Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) that leads to cerebral vascular dysfunction. The reduction of ROS can preserve vascular function and lead to improved outcomes. The antioxidant carboxyfullerene nanoparticle, dendro[60]fullerene (DF-1) was examined as …

Effect of Acute Administration of Angiopoietin-1 In Experimental Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Neurobehavioral Studies
… may exacerbate cellular injury and hinder neurobehavioral recovery in SCI. In these studies, angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), an agent known to reduce vascular permeability, was hypothesized to attenuate the severity of secondary injuries of SCI. Using longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …
