McPartland, James C.; Lerner, Matthew D.; Bhat, Anjana; Clarkson, Tessa; Jack, Allison; Koohsari, Sheida; Matuskey, David; McQuaid, Goldie A.; Su, Wan-Chun; Trevisan, Dominic A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
During the last 40 years, neuroscience has become one of the most central and most productive approaches to investigating autism. In this commentary, we assemble a group of established investigators and trainees to review key advances and anticipated developments in neuroscience research across five modalities most commonly employed in autism…

Sato, Yosuke; Oishi, Makoto; Fukuda, Masafumi; Fujii, Yukihiko – Brain and Language, 2012
We applied near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings during cortical stimulation to a temporal lobe epilepsy patient who underwent subdural electrode implantation. Using NIRS, changes in blood concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (HbO[subscript 2]) and deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) during cortical stimulation of the left…

Atkins, Norman, Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Intercellular signaling is vital to communication within neuronal circuits. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the master circadian clock of mammals, contains a dense collection of neurons that align their intrinsic rhythmicity with environmental stimulus and physiological state. While peptide physiology has been demonstrated as a contributor to…

Baslow, Morris H.; Guilfoyle, David N. – Brain and Language, 2007
Upon stimulation, areas of the brain associated with specific cognitive processing tasks may undergo observable physiological changes, and measures of such changes have been used to create brain maps for visualization of stimulated areas in task-related brain "activation" studies. These perturbations usually continue throughout the period of the…

Campolattaro, Matthew M.; Halverson, Hunter E.; Freeman, John H. – Learning & Memory, 2007
The neural pathways that convey conditioned stimulus (CS) information to the cerebellum during eyeblink conditioning have not been fully delineated. It is well established that pontine mossy fiber inputs to the cerebellum convey CS-related stimulation for different sensory modalities (e.g., auditory, visual, tactile). Less is known about the…

Gaultney, Jane F.; Gingras, Jeannine L.; Martin, Mindy; DeBrule, Daniel – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 2005
The authors used the Fagan Test of Infant Intelligence (J. F. Fagan, L. T. Singer, J. E. Montie, & P. A. Shepherd, 1986) to examine preferences for novelty and to evaluate several indicators of attention (off- and on-task indexes and durations) in 6- and 9-month-old infants who had been prenatally exposed to cigarette smoke only or to cocaine plus…
