Atypical Cerebellar Responses are Associated with Altered Neural Habituation during Sensory Stimulation in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sensory processing atypicalities are highly prevalent in autistic youth; yet, the neural mechanisms underlying these differences are not well understood. While the cerebellum plays a key role in sensorimotor coordination and is structurally and functionally atypical in the autistic brain, it has been overlooked in research investigating ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Irregular visits in longitudinal studies: Comparing inverse intensity of visit weighting and imputation in a causal analysis of antidepressant therapeutic treatment

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Irregular observation times are common in longitudinal observational studies and can affect causal inferences. We use data from electronic health records of Kaiser Permanente Washington patients in the United States who initiated an antidepressant medication between 2008 and 2018, with a confirming diagnosis of depression. We are interested in
