Cognitive Deficit in 7-year-old Children With Prenatal Exposure to Methylmercury
Philippe Grandjean,Pal Weihe,Roberta F. White,Roberta F. White,Roberta F. White,Frodi Debes,Shunichi Araki,Kazuhito Yokoyama,Katsuyuki Murata,Nicolina Sørensen,Rasmus Dahl,Poul J. Jørgensen +11 more
TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure therefore appear widespread, and early dysfunction is detectable at exposure levels currently considered safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Preclinical Phase of Alzheimer Disease: A 22-Year Prospective Study of the Framingham Cohort
Merrill F. Elias,Alexa S. Beiser,Philip A. Wolf,Rhoda Au,Roberta F. White,Ralph B. D'Agostino +5 more
TL;DR: The "preclinical phase" of detectable lowering of cognitive functioning precedes the appearance of pAD by many years and measures of retention of information and abstract reasoning are among the strongest predictors of pad when the interval between initial assessment and the development of p AD is long.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Performance of Children Prenatally Exposed to “Safe” Levels of Methylmercury
TL;DR: Subtle effects on brain function seem to be detectable at prenatal methylmercury exposure levels currently considered to be safe, within a cohort of 1022 consecutive singleton births in the Faroe Islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of prenatal methylmercury exposure on neurobehavioral function at age 14 years.
Frodi Debes,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Pal Weihe,Roberta F. White,Philippe Grandjean,Philippe Grandjean +6 more
TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure appear to be multi-focal and permanent, supported by independent assessment of neurophysiological outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological Outcomes of Army Personnel Following Deployment to the Iraq War
Jennifer J. Vasterling,Susan P. Proctor,Paul J. Amoroso,Robert L. Kane,Timothy Heeren,Roberta F. White +5 more
TL;DR: Iraq deployment, compared with nondeployment, was associated with neuropsychological compromise on tasks of sustained attention, verbal learning, and visual-spatial memory, and deployment effects remained statistically significant after taking into account deployment-related head injury and stress and depression symptoms.
