Sleep and Maladaptive Personality Traits: A Twin Study
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for human functioning, but little attention has been paid to the interplay between sleep and maladaptive personality traits. We examined genetic and environmental associations between sleep and four maladaptive domains (MDs)—Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism—within the framework of the DSM‐5 ...

Stem-Like Adaptive Aneuploidy and Cancer Quasispecies [PDF]
, 2013 We analyze and reinterpret experimental evidence from the literature to argue for an ability of tumor cells to self-regulate their aneuploidy rate. We conjecture that this ability is mediated by a diversification factor that exploits molecular mechanisms

The Returns to Education: A Meta‐Study
Kyklos, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There have been many studies estimating the causal effect of an additional year of education on earnings. The majority employ administrative changes in the minimum school‐leaving age as the mechanism allowing identification. Here, we survey 79 such estimates.

Strikingly higher frequency in centenarians and twins of mtDNA mutation causing remodeling of replication origin in leukocytes [PDF]
, 2003 The presence of a genetic component in longevity is well known. Here, the association of a mtDNA mutation with a prolonged life span in humans was investigated.

Genome-wide search for strabismus susceptibility loci. [PDF]
, 2003 The purpose of this study was to search for chromosomal susceptibility loci for comitant strabismus. Genomic DNA was isolated from 10mL blood taken from each member of 30 nuclear families in which 2 or more siblings are affected by either esotropia or ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

The relationship between Hippocampal asymmetry and working memory processing in combat-related PTSD: a monozygotic twin study [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: PTSD is associated with reduction in hippocampal volume and abnormalities in hippocampal function. Hippocampal asymmetry has received less attention, but potentially could indicate lateralised differences in vulnerability to trauma.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exercise maintains brain health and reduces the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia. The benefits of different ‘modalities’ of exercise on male and female cerebral autoregulation are unclear. In this study, we compared adaptations in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) during spontaneous and forced oscillations in ...
