Neurobehavioral epidemiology may contribute information to risk assessment in relation to a) characterization of neurotoxicity and its time course; b) the dose-effect relationship; c) the dose-response relationship; and d) predisposing factors. The quality of this information relies on the validity of the exposure data, the validity and sensitivity of neurobehavioral function tests, and the deg...

In this study, pairs of subjects performed a team-intensive task with the shared goal of clearing a virtual room from threats. The neurobehavioral dynamics of both subjects was analyzed to identify signatures of efficient team work. An ecologically valid task of room clearing was designed and a novel analysis framework was developed to address the challenge of understanding complex, continuous ...

The effect of angiopoitin-1 (Ang-1) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) engineered to express Ang-1 on experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) was investigated using longitudinal in vivo MRI, including dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, and neurobehavioral studies. In treated animals, on MRI, improvement in the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) integrity and reduced lesion volume were observed compared t...

OBJECTIVE To obtain a comprehensive understanding of long-term outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). PARTICIPANTS Forty-six patients with sTBI. DESIGN Comparison of interdisciplinary evaluation results at discharge from acute care and at 2 to 5 year follow-up. MAIN MEASURES Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, the FIM instrument, and the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised. RE...

To assess the neurotoxic effects and redox responses of Aroclor 1254 (A1254) on perinatally exposed rat offspring, A1254 was administered by gavage from gestational day (GD) 6 to postnatal day (PND) 21. Neurobehavioral development, antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), and NO synthase (NOS) levels were analyzed in the offspring. Neurobehavioral development ...

Abstract: Background: Our study consists of a the chemical composition essential oil administered to batch rats undergoing scorpion sting. Compared with control batches, nervous state was evaluated by several neurobehavioral tests, namely open classified, dark and light forced swimming. Materials Methods: Determination plant GC/MS its protective effect on system after exposure scorpions. Result...

The procedures for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale includes a brief background, description of the examination, key concepts, a summary of the procedures, and order of administration of the items described in "packages," information about the testing kit, scoring issues, and summary scores. This is followed by presentation of the 115 items that are scored. Each it...

The outlook for children diagnosed with cancer has significantly improved and continued to change since the late 1960s. Due to advances in therapy and diagnosis, the focus of psychological research and service has progressively changed from death and dying to surviving and cure, as well as possible neurobehavioral late effects, which is addressed in the accompanying papers (Moore; Butler & Mulh...

Abstract Background Acute and chronic pesticide exposure affect human health. The study aimed to assess the neurobehavioral performance its association with factors among Indonesian farmers. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted farmers living in Jember, Indonesia. Basic individual characteristics were documented using questionnaire-based interviews. assessed by German Q18 questionnaire WHO N...

The application of neurobehavioral methods to the study of brain function in schizophrenia can provide useful information on the neurobiology of schizophrenia. Standard neuropsychological batteries were designed to assess behavioral correlates of regional brain function. Methodological considerations in the application of these tests to schizophrenia are discussed. Although there is considerabl...
