Primary Results: There are more published studies, and thus more empirical support, for treatment strategies that yield controlled fluency or stutter-free speech, as opposed to techniques leading to stuttering modification. Addressing the cognitive and affective components of stuttering in treatment has limited impact on the behavioral dimensions of stuttering, but significantly reduces avoidan...

It has been difficult to link synaptic modification to overt behavioral changes. Rodent models of DYT1 dystonia, a motor disorder caused by a single gene mutation, demonstrate increased long-term potentiation and decreased long-term depression in corticostriatal synapses. Computationally, such asymmetric learning predicts risk taking in probabilistic tasks. Here we demonstrate abnormal risk tak...

Behavioral sciences are a group of disciplines that involve the study human actions. Various behavioral models have been used in past 50 years behavior modification. One model currently being studied for its application oral health is Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI patient-centered psychobehavioral method various fields medicine and psychology to help patients change their health-affecting ...

wrapped around a histone protein core. Covalent modification of histones is one of the primary epigenetic mechanisms for controlling gene expression. Eric B. Keverne et al. introduce the Epigenetic Changes in the Developing Brain: Effects on Behavior Sackler Colloquium, which brings together experts in epigenetic chemistry and behavioral neuroscience to better understand the influence of epigen...

SUI is a highly prevalent condition of involuntary urine leakage resulting from faulty closure of the urethra typically associated with coughing, sneezing or exertion. SUI is often a debilitating and bothersome condition that can substantially reduce a woman’s quality of life. Although non-surgical treatments such as pelvic floor exercises and behavioral modification are helpful in alleviating ...

Behavioral modification effects for particle-laden turbulent flows are developed and assessed through high-fidelity modeling using an implementation of the mirroring ghost-cell based immersed boundary method in conjunction with direct numerical simulation. The continuous phase uses open-source spectral element method-based solver, Nek5000. A dynamic form is described that also solves interparti...

The growing trend of disasters in world and Iran, expanded range of different psychological consequences of disasters and according to them Parallel Physical consequences. Post-traumatic stress disorder may be considered the most common psychological consequences of disasters. In the absence of prevention and treatment, it can affect a person's quality of life and normal functioning of the fam...
