The dementia-associated APOE ε4 allele is not associated with REM sleep behavior disorder
(Elsevier, 2016-10-13)The present study aimed to examine whether the APOE ε4 allele, associated with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and possibly with dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD), is also associated with idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). ... -
Developmental associations between conduct problems and expressive language in early childhood : a population-based study
Conduct problems and language
(Springer, 2016-08)Conduct problems have been associated with poor language development, however the direction of this association in early childhood remains unclear. This study examined the longitudinal directional associations between conduct problems and expressive ... -
Developmental origins of chronic physical aggression: an international perspective on using singletons, twins and epigenetics
(SAGE, 2015-09-08)This chapter takes an international and historical perspective to discuss the present state of knowledge on the developmental origins of physical aggression and its implications for the prevention of chronic physical aggression. An increasing number ... -
Dietary intake at 9 years and subsequent body mass index in adolescent boys and girls: a study of monozygotic twin pairs
Diet and weight status in adolescent twins
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-02)There is a lack of evidence pointing to specific dietary elements related to weight gain and obesity prevention in childhood and adulthood. Dietary intake and obesity are both inherited and culturally transmitted, but most prospective studies on the ... -
Differential susceptibility to environmental influences : Interactions between child temperament and parenting in adolescent alcohol use
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-02)Temperament and parental practices (PP) are important predictors of adolescent alcohol use (AU); however, less is known about how they combine to increase or decrease risk of AU. This study examined whether age 6 temperament (i.e., impulsivity and ... -
A direct interaction between two Restless Legs Syndrome predisposing genes : MEIS1 and SKOR1
(Nature research, 2018-08-15)Restless Legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep disorder for which the genetic contribution remains poorly explained. In 2007, the frst large scale genome wide association study (GWAS) identifed three genomic regions associated with RLS. MEIS1, BTBD9 ... -
Dynamic and static factors associated with discharge dispositions : the national trajectory project of individuals found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCRMD) in Canada
(Wiley, 2014-09-18)The majority of individuals found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCRMD) in Canada spend some time in hospital before they are conditionally or absolutely (no conditions) discharged to the community by a legally mandated review ... -
Early cannabis use, polygenic risk score for schizophrenia and brain maturation in adolescence
(American Medical Association, 2015-10)IMPORTANCE: Cannabis use during adolescence is known to increase the risk for schizophrenia in men. Sex differences in the dynamics of brain maturation during adolescence may be of particular importance with regard to vulnerability of the male brain ... -
Early nonparental care and social behavior in elementary school : support for a social group adaptation hypothesis
(Wiley, 2015-08-06)We examined the contribution of non-parental child care services received during the preschool years (i.e. between 5 months and 5 years) to the development of social behavior between kindergarten and the end of elementary school (i.e. between 6 and 12 ... -
EEG functional connectivity prior to sleepwalking : evidence of interplay between sleep and wakefulness
(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-01)Study Objectives: Although sleepwalking (somnambulism) affects up to 4% of adults, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Sleepwalking can be preceded by fluctuations in slow-wave sleep EEG signals, but the significance of these pre-episode ... -
Effects of delaying binge drinking on adolescent brain development : a longitudinal neuroimaging study
(BMC, 2016)Background: Onset of alcohol use by 14 relative to 21 years of age strongly predicts elevated risk for severe alcohol use problems, with 27% versus 4% of individuals exhibiting alcohol dependence within 10 years of onset. What remains unclear is whether ... -
ENIGMA and the individual : Predicting factors that affect the brain in 35 countries worldwide
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)In this review, we discuss recent work by the ENIGMA Consortium (http://enigma.ini.usc.edu) – a global alliance of over 500 scientists spread across 200 institutions in 35 countries collectively analyzing brain imaging, clinical, and genetic data. ... -
Evaluating preferences for online psychological interventions to decrease cannabis use in young adults with psychosis : an observational study
(Elsevier, 2023-05-30)Innovative technology-based solutions have the potential to improve access to clinically proven interventions for cannabis use disorder (CUD) in individuals with first episode psychosis (FEP). High patient engagement with app-based interventions is ... -
Evaluation of quality of life in patients with narcolepsy treated with sodium oxybate : use of the 36-item short-form health survey in a clinical trial
(Springer, 2016-10-24)Introduction The present post hoc analysis was designed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using the 36-item Short Form Health Status Survey (SF-36) during an 8-week trial of sodium oxybate (SXB). Methods SF-36 was assessed in a phase ... -
Evaluation of qualityof-life in patients with narcolepsy treated with sodium oxybate : use of the 36-item short-form health survey in a clinical trial
(Adis, Springer Healthcare, 2016-10-24)Introduction The present post hoc analysis was designed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using the 36-item Short Form Health Status Survey (SF-36) during an 8-week trial of sodium oxybate (SXB). Methods SF-36 was assessed in a phase ... -
Functional neuroimaging predictors of self-reported psychotic symptoms in adolescents
(American Psychiatric Publishing, 2017-06-01)OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the neural correlates of psychotic-like experiences in youths during tasks involving inhibitory control, reward anticipation, and emotion processing. A secondary aim was to test whether these neurofunctional correlates ... -
GBA mutations are associated with Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder
(Wiley, 2015-07-31)Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and GBA mutations are both associated with Parkinson’s disease. The GBA gene was sequenced in idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder patients (n = 265), and compared to controls (n = 2240). Rapid ... -
Genetic markers of Restless Legs Syndrome in Parkinson disease
