A longitudinal investigation of sleep and daytime wakefulness in children and youth with concussion
(SAGE, 2019-01-10)
A high proportion of adults who sustain a concussion identify changes in their sleep during the acute stage, typically
reporting an increased need for sleep or nonrestful sleep. Our understanding of sleep following ...
Sleep oscillation-specific associations with Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers : novel roles for sleep spindles and tau
(BMC, 2019-02-21)
Background: Based on associations between sleep spindles, cognition, and sleep-dependent memory processing,
here we evaluated potential relationships between levels of CSF Aβ42, P-tau, and T-tau with sleep spindle ...
EEG connectivity across sleep cycles and age
(American academy of sleep medicine, 2019-11-06)
Study Objectives
In young adults, sleep is associated with important changes in cerebral connectivity during the first cycle of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Our study aimed to evaluate how electroencephalography ...
Pathways to recovery among homeless people with mental illness: Is impulsiveness getting in the way?
(SAGE, 2019-11-25)
Objective:
This study investigates the association between impulsiveness and six dimensions of recovery among homeless people with mental illness.
Method:
The sample was composed of 418 participants of a randomized ...
Interleukin-8 predicts fatigue at 12 months post-injury in children with traumatic brain injury
Interleukin‐8 predict fatigue in child TBI
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-12-27)
Despite many children experiencing fatigue after childhood brain injury, little is known
about the predictors of this complaint. To date, traditional indices of traumatic brain injury
(TBI) severity have not reliably ...
A phase 2 study of trametinib for patients with pediatric glioma or plexiform neurofibroma with refractory tumor and activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway
(BMC, 2019-12-27)
Background
Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG) are the most frequent brain tumors in children. Up to 50% will be refractory to conventional chemotherapy. It is now known that the majority of PLGG have activation of the ...
The impact of Housing First on criminal justice outcomes among homeless people with mental illness : a systematic review.
(SAGE, 2019-01-06)
Objective:
Housing First is increasingly put forward as an important component of a pragmatic plan to end homelessness. The literature evaluating the impact of Housing First on criminal justice involvement has not yet ...
Obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of cognitive decline in older adults
(American Thoracic Society, 2019-01-15)
Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and affects at least 20% of individuals after the age of 65. There is accumulating evidence that obstructive sleep apnea may impact brain structure ...
Posterior cortical atrophy : impact on daily living activities and exploration of a cognitive rehabilitation approach
(Cogent OA, 2019-07-11)
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting
the posterior region of the brain. Little is known about both the impact of PCA on
functioning and how to support patients on a daily basis. The ...
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 ...
