FAAH, SLC6A4, and BDNF variants are not associated with psychosocial stress and mental health outcomes in a population of Syrian refugee youth
(2019-06-29)The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis posits that early childhood stressors disproportionately impact adult health. Numerous studies have found adult mental health to be associated with childhood ... -
Psychometric Properties of the Highly Sensitive Child Scale Across Developmental Stage, Gender, and Country
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2019)Adolescents differ in their degree of Environmental Sensitivity, that is, the ability to perceive and process information about their environment. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the ... -
Adults with probable developmental coordination disorder selectively process early visual, but not tactile information during action preparation. An electrophysiological study
(Elsevier BV, 2019-04)Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting motor coordination in children and adults. Here, EEG signals elicited by visual and tactile stimuli were recorded while adult participants ... -
Modulations in resting state networks of subcortical structures linked to creativity.
(Elsevier, 2019-03-29)Creativity is a sine qua non ability for almost all aspects of everyday life. Although very profound behavioural models were provided by 21st century psychologists, the neural correlates of these personality features ... -
Embryonic Exposure to Valproic Acid Affects Social Predispositions for Dynamic Cues of Animate Motion in Newly-Hatched Chicks
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Early predispositions to preferentially orient towards cues associated with social partners have been documented in several vertebrate species including human neonates and domestic chicks. Human newborns at high familiar ... -
Habituation of the electrodermal response - A biological correlate of resilience?
(PLoS, 2019-01-25)urrent approaches to quantifying resilience make extensive use of self-reported data. Problematically, this type of scales is plagued by response distortions–both deliberate and unintentional, particularly in occupational ... -
Neural Correlates of Induced Light Experience during Meditation: A Pilot Hyperscanning Study

(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-22)Experienced meditators often report spontaneous visual imagery during deep meditation in the form of lights or other types of visual images. These experiences are usually interpreted as an “encounters with light” and gain ... -
Assumptions about the positioning of virtual stimuli affect gaze direction estimates during Augmented Reality based interactions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)We investigated gaze direction determination in dyadic interactions mediated by an Augmented Reality (AR) head-mounted-display. With AR, virtual content is overlaid on top of the real-world scene, offering unique data ... -
Hair cortisol concentrations in war-affected adolescents: A prospective intervention trial
(Elsevier, 2017-12-26)Temporal examinations of the biological signature of stress or trauma in war-affected populations are seldom undertaken. Moreover, few studies have examined whether stress biomarkers track biological sensitivity to brief ... -
The differential impact of environment and resilience on youth outcomes.
The potential positive or negative impact of the environment on young people’s wellbeing may vary by a young person’s level of vulnerability and the quality of the environment. To examine this relationship, analysis of a ...
