Genetic, environmental and gender influences on attachment disorder behaviours [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background Despite current interest in attachment disorder, there is concern about its discrimination from other disorders and an unproven assumption of an environmental aetiology.

Observational Causality Testing [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
In prior work we have introduced an asymptotic threshold of sufficient randomness for causal inference from observational data. In this paper we extend that prior work in three main ways. First, we show how to empirically estimate a lower bound for the randomness from measures of concordance transported from studies of monozygotic twins.

Preverbal Language Abilities in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This study examined prelinguistic language development of twins by delineating: differences from developmental expectations; twin-twin communication and twin-mother communication differences; and monozygotic-dizygotic differences.

Narcolepsy with cataplexy in monozygotic twins

open access: yesSleep Science, 2014
Introduction: This paper describes narcolepsy with cataplexy in two monozygotic twin sisters. Objective: To clinically illustrate the involvement of neurological, genetic and immunologic systems in narcolepsy. Material and methods: We performed a restropective study of these patients that were followed in the sleep medicine ambulatory clinic of the ...

Do the early social environment and persistent peripartum depressive symptoms shape toddlers' expressive language?

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extensive research suggests that peripartum depression is a risk factor for children's early language development. Yet, previous research on this association shows mixed results, often lacking information on the persistence of depression and the social context.

Comparison of Genomic and Epigenomic Expression in Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Rett Syndrome.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Monozygotic (identical) twins have been widely used in genetic studies to determine the relative contributions of heredity and the environment in human diseases.

Deformation behaviour of body centered cubic iron nanopillars containing coherent twin boundaries [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Magazine 96 (2016) 3502-3523, 2016
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand the role of twin boundaries on deformation behaviour of body-centred cubic (BCC) iron (Fe) nanopillars. The twin boundaries varying from one to five providing twin boundary spacing in the range 8.5 - 2.8 nm were introduced perpendicular to the loading direction.

Intergenerational transmission of attachment: The role of intelligence

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Attachment and cognitive development are associated, but the direction of the association is unclear. Recently, Del Giudice and Haltigan have argued that attachment in childhood and attachment representations in adulthood are influenced by the cognitive capabilities of the individual, which might make the intergenerational transmission of attachment ...
