A Pilot Study of Neurocognitive Function and Brain Structures in Adolescents With Alcohol Use Disorders: Does Maltreatment History Matter?

Journal article Child Maltreat · November 2019 Neurocognitive and brain structural differences are associated with adolescent onset alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Maltreatment histories may contribute to current results. To examine these issues, healthy adolescents (n = 31), adolescents without maltreat ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Dimensions of Attention Associated With the Microstructure of Corona Radiata White Matter.

Journal article Journal of child neurology · April 2017 Mirsky proposed a model of attention that included these dimensions: focus/execute, sustain, stabilize, encode, and shift. The neural correlates of these dimensions were investigated within corona radiata subregions in healthy youth. Diffusion tensor imagi ... Full text Cite

Posterior structural brain volumes differ in maltreated youth with and without chronic posttraumatic stress disorder.

Journal article Dev Psychopathol · November 2015 Magnetic resonance imaging studies of maltreated children with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that maltreatment-related PTSD is associated with adverse brain development. Maltreated youth resilient to chronic PTSD were not previously investig ... Full text Link to item Cite

The superior longitudinal fasciculus in typically developing children and adolescents: diffusion tensor imaging and neuropsychological correlates.

Journal article J Child Neurol · January 2015 The relationship between superior longitudinal fasciculus microstructural integrity and neuropsychological functions were examined in 49 healthy children (range: 5-17 years) using diffusion tensor imaging. Seven major cognitive domains (intelligence, fine- ... Full text Link to item Cite

Neuropsychological findings in pediatric maltreatment: relationship of PTSD, dissociative symptoms, and abuse/neglect indices to neurocognitive outcomes.

Journal article Child maltreatment · August 2013 Maltreated (n = 38), maltreated + posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; n = 60), and control youth (n = 104) underwent comprehensive neuropsychological testing. The two maltreated groups performed significantly lower on IQ, academic achievement, and nearly ... Full text Cite

Influence of analysis technique on measurement of diffusion tensor imaging parameters.

Journal article AJR Am J Roentgenol · May 2013 OBJECTIVE: We compared results from various methods of analysis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data from a single dataset consisting of 10 healthy adolescents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: All subjects were imaged on a single 3-T MRI system (single-shot echo-p ... Full text Link to item Cite
