Relationship between Children's Independent Activities and the Built Environment of Outdoor Activity Space in Residential Neighborhoods: A Case Study of Nanjing. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Children are a vulnerable population that is frequently overlooked in urban planning. The spatial demands of children are garnering broader consideration in the development of public spaces in cities as efforts to promote child-friendly cities.

Integrating new memories into the hippocampal network activity space. [PDF]
Nat Neurosci, 2021 By investigating the topology of neuronal co-activity, we found that mnemonic information spans multiple operational axes in the mouse hippocampus network. High-activity principal cells form the core of each memory along a first axis, segregating spatial

An activity space approach to understanding how food access is associated with dietary intake and BMI among urban, low-income African American women. [PDF]
Health Place, 2020 Inconclusive evidence for how food environments affect health may result from an emphasis on residential neighborhood-based measures of exposure. We used an activity space approach to examine whether 1) measures of food access and 2) associations with ...
