Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Language Modelling for the Clinical Semantic Verbal Fluency Task

, 2018
Semantic Verbal Fluency (SVF) tests are common neuropsychological tasks, in which patients are asked to name as many words belonging to a semantic category as they can in 60 seconds. These tests are sensitive to even early forms of dementia caused by e.g. Alzheimer's disease.

Conversational Topic Shifts and Topic Maintenance in Autistic and Neurotypical Children

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Topic maintenance and topic shifts are crucial components of conversation; however, existing research lacks a clear quantitative operationalization of these topic management skills. Previous studies suggest that autistic children are less likely than their neurotypical peers to maintain and elaborate on the interlocutor's prior topic, and that

Decreased BOLD Signal Variability in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults on the Autism Spectrum

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk for early‐onset cognitive and neurological decline in ASD. While brain development in children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD diverges from neurotypical (NT) peers, it remains unclear in older adults with ASD ...

Interval Timing Is Altered in Male Nrxn1+/− Mice: A Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social interactions and communication, and increased repetitive and stereotypical behavior. Neuroimaging shows functional abnormalities in brain areas involved in temporal processing in autistic individuals, and they also show deficits in interval timing.
