Non-use of Formal Health Services in Malawi: Perceptions from Non-users.
(2014)BACKGROUND: The study upon which this paper is based was undertaken to understand users' and non-users' perceptions concerning facilitators and barriers to equitable and universal access to health care in resource-poor ... -
Heart Rate Measurement during Stereotyped Motor Behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(Springer, 2015)Previous research has suggested that a relationship may exist between physiological arousal and engagement in motor stereotypy among children and adolescents with autism. It has been speculated that levels or alterations ... -
The efficacy of internet-delivered treatment for generalized anxiety disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2015)Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is typically considered a chronic condition characterized by excessive worry. Lifetime prevalence is 4.3–5.9%, yet only a small percentage seeks treatment. GAD is treatable and in recent ... -

Chronic immobilization stress occludes in vivo cortical activation in an animal model of panic induced by carbon dioxide inhalation.
(2014)Breathing high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) can trigger panic and anxiety in humans. CO2 inhalation has been hypothesized to activate neural systems similar to those underlying fear learning, especially those ... -
The sound-induced flash illusion reveals dissociable age-related effects in multisensory integration.
(2014)While aging can lead to significant declines in perceptual and cognitive function, the effects of age on multisensory integration, the process in which the brain combines information across the senses, are less clear. ... -
The effects of a self-alert training (SAT) program in adults with ADHD
(2015)Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by attention and impulsivity problems, is one of the most common behavioral disorders. The first line of treatment for ADHD is ... -
Anticipatory planning reveals segmentation of cortical motor output during action observation
(2015)It has been argued that the variation in brain activity that occurs when observing another person reflects a representation of actions that is indivisible, and which plays out in full once the intent of the actor can be ... -
Paired associative transcranial alternating current stimulation increases the excitability of corticospinal projections in humans
(2015)Many types of non-invasive brain stimulation alter corticospinal excitability (CSE). Paired associative stimulation (PAS) has attracted particular attention as its effects ostensibly adhere to Hebbian principles of neural ... -
The irregular firing properties of thalamic head direction cells mediate turn-specific modulation of the directional tuning curve.
(2014)HEAD DIRECTION (HD) cells in anterior thalamus express a wide range of interspike intervals (ISIs) (Taube 2010). Given the importance of HD encoding for spatial navigation in the environment, it is crucial to understand ... -
Respiratory cycle entrainment of septal neurons mediates the fast coupling of sniffing rate and hippocampal theta rhythm.
(2014)Memory for odour information may result from temporal coupling between the olfactory and hippocampal systems. Respiration defines the frequency of olfactory perception, but how the respiratory rate affects hippocampal ... -
Decoding signal processing in thalamo-hippocampal circuitry: Implications for theories of memory and spatial processing
(2015)A major tool in understanding how information is processed in the brain is the analysis of neuronal output at each hierarchical level through which neurophysiological signals are propagated. Since the experimental brain ... -
Employment and vocational skills among individuals with autism spectrum disorder: predictors, impact, and interventions
(Springer, 2014)Much research has been devoted to early intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a lesser emphasis on research examining the outcomes for, or support of, these individuals as they reach ... -
Training Educational Staff in Functional Behavioral Assessment: A Systematic Review
(Springer, 2014)Interventions for challenging behavior are more likely to be effective when based on the results of a functional behavioral assessment. Research to date, suggests that staff members in educational settings may not have the ... -
A Systematic Review of the Treatment of Fears and Phobias Among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(Springer, 2014)Research indicates that fears and phobias are significantly more prevalent, and emerge in response to a greater variety of stimuli, among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) than among their developmentally ... -
A systematic review of physiological reactivity to stimuli in autism.
(2014)Objective: The prevalence of abnormal behavioural responses to a variety of stimuli among individuals with autism has led researchers to examine whether physiological reactivity is typical in this population. The current ... -
Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder
(2015)A relationship between stress and challenging behavior in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been theorized but infrequently examined empirically. The current study sought to examine the relationship between ...
