Maternal Gestational Low‐Grade Inflammation and the Risk of Anorexia Nervosa in Daughters

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal exposures have been suggested to have a programming effect on neural and metabolic development, which may affect the risk of eating disorders. We investigated the association between prospectively measured maternal gestational high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), an established inflammatory biomarker, and subsequent

ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder with structural brain alterations; however, the roles of cortical surface area (CSA) and cortical thickness (CTh) during adolescence remain unclear. Building on frequent reports of gray matter reductions in the cingulate cortex and precuneus, this study assesses CSA, CTh, and ...

open access: yes, 2018
Recent theories propose that schizophrenia/schizotypy and autistic spectrum disorder are related to impairments in Bayesian inference that is, how the brain integrates sensory information (likelihoods) with prior knowledge. However existing accounts fail

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.
