   EPILEPSY & BEHAVIOR, v.128, article ID 108570, 7p, 2022

   Objective: To investigate the opinions and attitudes of neurologists on the counseling about sudden unex-pected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) worldwide.

3. Different routes of administration in chronic migraine prevention lead to different placebo responses: a meta-analysis

   PAIN, v.163, n.3, p.415-424, 2022

   Placebo response is a powerful determinant of health outcomes in several disorders. Meta-analysis of clinical trials in pain conditions shows that it can contribute up to 75% of the overall treatment effect. Placebo response deriving from different routes of administration is poorly understood in...

4. Use of a Bayesian Network Model to predict psychiatric illness in individuals with 'at risk mental states' from a general population cohort

   NEUROSCIENCE LETTERS, v.770, article ID 136358, 6p, 2022

   The 'at risk mental state' (ARMS) paradigm has been introduced in psychiatry to study prodromal phases of schizophrenia. With time it was seen that the ARMS state can also precede mental disorders other than schizophrenia, such as depression and anxiety. However, several problems hamper the parad...

5. Reproducibility in the absence of selective reporting: An illustration from large-scale brain asymmetry research

   HUMAN BRAIN MAPPING, v.43, n.1, Special Issue, p.244-254, 2022

   The problem of poor reproducibility of scientific findings has received much attention over recent years, in a variety of fields including psychology and neuroscience. The problem has been partly attributed to publication bias and unwanted practices such asp-hacking. Low statistical power in indi...

6. Characterizing neuroanatomic heterogeneity in people with and without ADHD based on subcortical brain volumes

   JOURNAL OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY, v.62, n.9, p.1140-1149, 2021

   Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. Neuroanatomic heterogeneity limits our understanding of ADHD's etiology. This study aimed to parse heterogeneity of ADHD and to determine whether patient subgroups could be discerned based on su...

7. Evidence for similar structural brain anomalies in youth and adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a machine learning analysis

   TRANSLATIONAL PSYCHIATRY, v.11, n.1, article ID 82, 9p, 2021

   Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 5% of children world-wide. Of these, two-thirds continue to have impairing symptoms of ADHD into adulthood. Although a large literature implicates structural brain differences of the disorder, it is not clear if adults with ADHD have similar...

8. Neurological, Psychiatric, and Psychological Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocol for a Large-Scale Umbrella Review of Observational Studies

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH, v.19, n.3, article ID 1681, 9p, 2022

   The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 disease (SARS-CoV-2) is the most severe manifestation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

9. Subjective sleep parameters in prodromal Alzheimer's disease: a case-control study

   BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY, v.43, n.5, p.510-513, 2021

   Objective: People with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia have impaired sleep. However, the characteristics of sleep in the early stages of AD are not well known, and studies with the aid of biomarkers are lacking. We assessed the subjective sleep characteristics of non-demented older adults and c...

10. Cannabidiol Treatment Improves Glucose Metabolism and Memory in Streptozotocin-Induced Alzheimer's Disease Rat Model: A Proof-of-Concept Study

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES, v.23, n.3, article ID 1076, 10p, 2022

    An early and persistent sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is glucose hypometabolism, which can be evaluated by positron emission tomography (PET) with F-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([F-18]FDG). Cannabidiol has demonstrated neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties but has not been evaluat...
