Journal ArticleDOI

Geraldine Dawson,Emily J.H. Jones,Kristen Merkle,Kaitlin Venema,Rachel Lowy,Susan Faja,Dana Kamara,Michael Andrew Murias,Jessica Greenson,Jamie Winter,Milani Smith,Sally J. Rogers,Sara Jane Webb +12 more
TL;DR: This was the first trial to demonstrate that early behavioral intervention is associated with normalized patterns of brain activity, which was associated with improvements in social behavior, in young children with autism spectrum disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between brain volumes, delirium duration, and cognitive outcomes in intensive care unit survivors: the VISIONS cohort magnetic resonance imaging study*.
Max L. Gunther,Alessandro Morandi,Erin Krauskopf,Pratik P. Pandharipande,Timothy D. Girard,James C. Jackson,Jennifer L. Thompson,Ayumi Shintani,Sunil K. Geevarghese,Russell R. Miller,Angelo E. Canonico,Kristen Merkle,Christopher J. Cannistraci,Baxter P. Rogers,J. Chris Gatenby,Stephan Heckers,John C. Gore,Ramona O. Hopkins,E. Wesley Ely +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between delirium duration, brain volumes and long-term cognitive impairment (LTCI) in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between delirium duration, white matter integrity, and cognitive impairment in intensive care unit survivors as determined by diffusion tensor imaging: the VISIONS prospective cohort magnetic resonance imaging study*.
Alessandro Morandi,Baxter P. Rogers,Max L. Gunther,Kristen Merkle,Pratik P. Pandharipande,Timothy D. Girard,James C. Jackson,Jennifer L. Thompson,Ayumi Shintani,Sunil K. Geevarghese,Russell R. Miller,Angelo E. Canonico,Christopher J. Cannistraci,John C. Gore,E. Wesley Ely,Ramona O. Hopkins +15 more
TL;DR: In this pilot investigation, delirium duration in the intensive care unit was associated with white matter disruption at both discharge and 3 months, andwhite matter disruption wasassociated with worse cognitive scores up to 12 months later.
Journal ArticleDOI
ERP responses differentiate inverted but not upright face processing in adults with ASD
Sara Jane Webb,Kristen Merkle,Michael Andrew Murias,Todd L. Richards,Elizabeth Aylward,Geraldine Dawson +5 more
TL;DR: High density event-related brain potentials were recorded to images of faces, inverted faces and non-face objects from 32 high-functioning adults with ASD and controls to examine speed of processing of faces in ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toddlers with elevated autism symptoms show slowed habituation to faces
Sara Jane Webb,Emily J.H. Jones,Kristen Merkle,Jessica M. Namkung,Karen Toth,Karen Toth,Jessica Greenson,Michael Andrew Murias,Geraldine Dawson,Geraldine Dawson,Geraldine Dawson +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that slower rates of face learning may be an endophenotype of ASD and is associated with more severe symptoms among affected individuals.
