A 2‐year dyadic longitudinal study of mothers' and fathers' marital adjustment when caring for a child with cancer
(Wiley, 2016-06-30)Objective Studies examining interrelationships within parental couples confronted with pediatric cancer are scarce. This study explored dyadic longitudinal associations between both partners' family functioning and mood at diagnosis, and marital ... -
Actigraphy data in pediatric research : the role of sleep diaries
Actigraphy and sleep diary
(Elsevier, 2018-01)Background. When assessing children's sleep using actigraphy, researchers usually rely on a sleep diary completed by a parent as an aid in scoring actigraphic data. However, parental nonadherence in completing the sleep diary may significantly reduce ... -
Action video game experience is associated with increased resting state functional connectivity in the caudate nucleus and decreased functional connectivity in the hippocampus
(Elsevier, 2019-12-05)Habitual action video game experience is associated with both increased grey matter and activity in the striatum and decreased grey matter in the hippocampus. To further investigate this relationship, we tested differences in resting state functional ... -
Age at first febrile seizure correlates with perinatal maternal emotional symptoms
(2017-09-30)Objective: Prenatal exposure to stress and fever are factors lowering seizure threshold in animal models. The fever effect on seizure threshold is well documented in human infants, however the associations between maternal perinatal stress and infants’ ... -
Age of cannabis use onset and adult drug abuse symptoms : a prospective study of common risk factors and indirect effects
(SAGE, 2018-04-22)Objective: The present study examined (1) whether the associations between cannabis use (CU) age of onset and drug abuse by 28 years remain when controlling for risk factors in childhood, adolescence and early adulthood; and (2) developmental pathways ... -
Aging and language : maintenance of morphological representations in older adults
(Frontiers media, 2019-05-15)Studies employing primed lexical decision tasks have revealed morphological facilitation effects in children and young adults. It is unknown if this effect is preserved or diminished in older adults. In fact, only few studies have investigated ... -
Aging reduces the stimulating effect of blue light on cognitive brain functions
(Oxford University Press, 2014-01-01)Study Objectives: Light exposure, particularly blue light, is being recognized as a potent mean to stimulate alertness and cognition in young individuals. Aging is associated with changes in alertness regulation and cognition. Whether the effect of ... -
Altered gray matter structural covariance networks in early stages of Alzheimer's disease
(Oxford University Press, 2015-05-20)Clinical symptoms observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients may reflect variations within specific large-scale brain networks, modeling AD as a disconnection syndrome. The present magnetic resonance imaging study aims to compare the organization ... -
Alzheimer’s disease and memory strength : gradual decline of memory traces as a function of their strength
(2016-03-29)Objective : Episodic memory impairment is at the core of amnestic mild cognitive impair- ment (aMCI) and Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD). The origin of memory deficits may result either from an encoding deficit or from an accelerated decline of the ... -
Amyloid burden and white matter hyperintensities mediate age-related cognitive differences
(Elsevier, 2019-08)This study examined the additive versus synergistic contribution of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) across 7 cognitive domains in 104 cognitively normal older adults. It also measured the extent to which age-related differences ... -
Anatomical correlates of early mutism in progressive nonfluent aphasia
(American Academy of Neurology, 2006)Patients with progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA) can become mute early in the course of the disease. Voxel-based morphometry showed that PNFA is associated with left anterior insula and inferior frontal atrophy. In PNFA with early mutism, volume ... -
The anatomy of category-specific object naming in neurodegenerative diseases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2006)Neuropsychological studies suggest that knowledge about living and nonliving objects is processed in separate brain regions. However, lesion and functional neuroimaging studies have implicated different areas. To address this issue, we used voxel-based ... -
L’apprentissage sans erreur : un principe efficace d’intervention dans la maladie d’Alzheimer et dans l’aphasie primaire progressive
Errorless learning in cognitive rehabilitation of Alzheimer’s disease and primary progressive aphasia
(John Libbey Eurotext, 2022)L’intervention cognitive demeure une des perspectives de prise en charge les plus utiles, dès la phase précoce, pour aider les patients atteints de trouble neurocognitif majeur à compenser leurs déficits cognitifs et maintenir leur indépendance ... -
Are age and sex effects on sleep slow waves only a matter of EEG amplitude ?
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09-15)Aging is associated with reduced slow wave (SW) density (number SW/min in nonrapid-eye movement sleep) and amplitude. It has been proposed that an age-related decrease in SW density may be due to a reduction in electroencephalogram (EEG) amplitude ... -
Are NREM sleep characteristics associated to subjective sleep complaints after mild traumatic brain injury?
Sleep after mild TBI
(Elsevier, 2015-04)Sleep complaints are common after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While recent find-ings suggest that sleep macro-architecture is preserved in mTBI, features of non-rapid eye movement(NREM) sleep micro-architecture including electroencephalography ... -
Are primary and secondary provoked vestibulodynia two different entities? A comparison of pain, psychosocial and sexual characteristics
(2015-06-01)Introduction Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is suspected to be the most frequent cause of vulvodynia in premenopausal women. Based on the onset of PVD relative to the start of sexual experience, PVD can be divided into primary (PVD1) and secondary ... -
Assessment and treatment of vocal stereotypy associated with television: a pilot study
(Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior & Wiley, 2013)A 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism participated in a pilot study showing that (a) television was associated with increased vocal stereotypy and (b) sitting was associated with lower levels of vocal stereotypy. Subsequently, we reduced vocal ... -
Association between waking electroencephalography and cognitive event-related potentials in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
EEG and ERP in OSA
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective: Abnormal event-related potentials (ERP) and slowing of the waking electroencephalographic (EEG) activity have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apneas (OSA). This study aimed at evaluating whether an association exists between ... -
Associations between early maternal sensitivity and children's sleep throughout early childhood
(2017-09-02)Despite strong theoretical reasons to believe that the quality of parent-infant interactions should influence child sleep, the empirical evidence for links between maternal behavior and children’s sleep is equivocal. Notably, it is unclear at which ... -
Associations between sleep consolidation in infancy and peer relationships in middle childhood
Sleep and peer relationships
(Wiley, 2017-11-21)Sleep plays an important role in many aspects of children’s development. Research on children’s sleep and their peer relationships has begun to emerge in the last years. However, these studies are mostly cross-sectional. The current study aimed to ...
