Paternal Deprivation Alters Region- and Age-Specific Interneuron Expression Patterns in the Biparental Rodent, Octodon degus [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 2010
The impact of paternal care on the postnatal development of inhibitory neuronal subpopulations in prefrontal and limbic brain regions was studied in the rodent Octodon degus. Comparing offspring from biparental families with animals raised by a single mother revealed region-specific deprivation-induced changes in the density of PARV- and CaBP-D28k ...

Heterogeneity of Response to Early Start Denver Model: Identifying Developmental Trajectories and Predictors of Cognitive Outcomes

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is a highly heterogenous neurodevelopmental condition that can significantly compromise the quality of life. For children showing atypical trajectories of development in their early years, early and intensive intervention has shown promise in enhancing the development of language, cognition, and social skills. Yet, marked variability in

Grandparent Prenatal Tobacco, Alcohol, Coffee, and Tea Consumption and Autism in the Third Generation

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exogenous prenatal exposures may affect neurodevelopment across multiple generations. We investigated grandmother and grandfather smoking, alcohol, coffee, and tea consumption during pregnancy in relation to their grandchildren's risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Leaving children behind for cross‐border education: Unveiling the emotional agency of international post‐graduate student mothers

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing interest in the internationalisation of higher education, the experiences of international student parents, particularly international student mothers, remain largely marginalised in research and policy. This paper examines the emotional agency of international student mothers who leave their children behind in their home ...

Paternal Deprivation and Female Biparental Family Rearing Induce Dendritic and Synaptic Changes in Octodon degus: II. Nucleus Accumbens

Developmental Neuroscience, 2023
While the majority of studies on the importance of parental caregiving on offspring behavioral and brain development focus on the role of the mother, the paternal contribution is still an understudied topic. We investigated if growing up without paternal care affects dendritic and synaptic development in the nucleus accumbens of male and female ...

Predictors of authorised, unauthorised and persistent absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the factors associated with persistent absenteeism (an absence rate of 10% or higher) and authorised and unauthorised absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland. Using linked administrative data, the analysis focuses on secondary school stages S1–S6 in three academic years.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
