Atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease and semantic dementia : an ALE meta-analysis of voxel-based morphometry studies
(IOS Press, 2016)Background/Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and semantic dementia (SD) have distinct episodic memory profiles despite the hippocampal atrophy that characterizes both diseases. The aim of this study was to delineate the pattern of gray matter (GM) ... -
Atrophy, metabolism and cognition in posterior cortical atrophy spectrum based on AD CSF biomarkers
(Elsevier, 2018-10-10)Introduction In vivo clinical, anatomical and metabolic differences between posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) patients presenting with different Alzheimer's disease (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers profiles are still unknown. Methods Twenty-seven ... -
Attachment security and developmental patterns of growth in executive functioning during early elementary school
Growth in executive functionning
(Wiley, 2017-05)Despite the extensive research demonstrating the importance of child executive functioning (EF) for school adjustment, little longitudinal work has formally examined developmental change in EF during the early school years. Based on a sample of 106 ... -
Attachment security and maternal behaviors as predictors of children's psychosocial adjustment at school entry
Mother–child relationships and children’s psychosocial functioning : the specific roles of attachment security and maternal behavior
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05-17)Objective. This paper aimed to examine the contributions of a second assessment time point of attachment security, along with assessments of maternal behavior (sensitivity and autonomy support), to the prediction of children’s behavior problems. Design. ... -
Attachment, sexual assertiveness and sexual outcomes in women with provoked vestibulodynia and their partners : a mediation model
(2015-08-01)Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a prevalent women’s sexual pain disorder, which is associated with sexual function difficulties. Attachment theory has been used to understand adult sexual outcomes, providing a useful framework for examining sexual ... -
Autonomous and controlled motivation for parenting : associations with parent and child outcomes
(Springer, 2014-06-14)The present investigation examined motivation for parenting and some of its correlates in parents and children. The data came from samples of 151 first-time mothers of infants, 153 mothers of middle school children, and 260 mothers and fathers of ... -
The benefits of autonomy support for adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral problems
(Springer, 2013-03)The benefits of autonomy support in the domain of education have been well established within the general population, but have yet to be demonstrated within clinical populations. The present study investigated the benefits of an autonomy-supportive ... -
Beyond a "woman's problem" : the role of relationship processes in female genital pain
(2014-03)Female genital pain is a prevalent condition that can disrupt the psychosexual and relational well-being of affected women and their romantic partners. Despite the intimate context in which the pain can be elicited (i.e., during sexual intercourse), ... -
Biomarkers of dementia in obstructive sleep apnea
(Elsevier, 2018-08-13)Epidemiologic and mechanistic evidence is increasingly supporting the notion that obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for dementia. Hence, the identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline due to obstructive sleep apnea may significantly ... -
Brain white matter damage and its association with neuronal synchrony during sleep
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-28)The restorative function of sleep partly relies on its ability to deeply synchronize cerebral networks to create large slow oscillations observable with EEG. However, whether a brain can properly synchronize and produce a restorative sleep when it ... -
Cancer-related fatigue : scoping review to synthesize a definition for childhood cancer survivors
(Springer, 2023-03-24)Context There is no universal definition of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) specific to childhood cancer survivors, despite this population facing unique long-term side effects from their cancer. We aimed to synthesize and combine existing definitions ... -
Cancer-related fatigue in childhood cancer survivors : a systematic scoping review on contributors of fatigue and how they are targeted by non-pharmacological interventions
(Elsevier, 2022-09-08)Objectives We aimed to identify contributors to cancer-related fatigue (CRF), explore non-pharmacological interventions addressing CRF, and highlight which contributors were targeted by these interventions in childhood cancer survivors. Methods We ... -
Capacités de réserve et entraînement cognitif dans le vieillissement : similarité des effets protecteurs sur la cognition et le cerveau = Reserve capacity and cognitive training in aging : the similarity of the protective effects on cognition and brain
(John Libbey Eurotext, 2016)La notion de réserve a été proposée pour expliquer l’écart observé chez certains individus entre le degré de leur atteinte cérébrale et son expression sur le plan cognitif. La réserve serait modulée par des facteurs environnementaux tels que le niveau ... -
Care pathways, health service use patterns and opportunities for justice involvement prevention among forensic mental health clients
(SAGE, 2022)Objectives: The objective of the present study is to describe the patterns of health service use and of prescription claims in the year preceding an offense leading to a verdict of non-criminal responsibility on account of a mental disorder (NCRMD). ... -
Cerebral white matter diffusion properties and free‐water with obstructive sleep apnea severity in older adults
(Wiley, 2020-03-13)Characterizing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the aging brain could be key in our understanding of neurodegeneration in this population. Our objective was to assess white matter properties in newly diagnosed and untreated adults with ... -
The challenge of mapping the human connectome based on diffusion tractography
(Nature research, 2017-11-07)Tractography based on non-invasive diffusion imaging is central to the study of human brain connectivity. To date, the approach has not been systematically validated in ground truth studies. Based on a simulated human brain data set with ground truth ... -
Changes in hair cortisol and self-reported stress measures following mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) : a proof-of-concept study in pediatric hematology-oncology professionals
(Elsevier, 2020-10-23)Background and purpose Little data is available on the effect of mindfulness amongst pediatric hematology-oncology professionals. The purpose was to further document change in biological and psychological stress following a mindfulness-based stress ... -
Changes in regional cerebral perfusion over time in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
(Wiley, 2020-05-27)Background Idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is associated with increased risk of neurodegeneration, but the temporal evolution of regional perfusion, a marker of cerebral activity, has not been characterized. The objective of the ... -
