(Wolters Kluwer, 2015)Objective: Deception has been used to investigate the role of developmental and behavioral factors in child health; however, its acceptability for use in pediatric research has received little empirical attention. This ... -
Age of Onset and Duration of Deafness Drive Brain Organization for Biological Motion Perception in Non-Signers
(2016-09)We used fMRI to characterize the neural responses to biological motion in adults who became deaf at a wide range of ages, none of whom were fluent sign language users. Although hearing people showed stronger activation for ... -
Caregiver accuracy in detecting deception in facial expressions of pain in children

Contemporary Use of the Cold Pressor Task in Pediatric Pain Research: A Systematic Review of Methods
(Sciene Direct, 2012)The cold pressor task (CPT) is an ethical experimental pain task widely used by pediatric pain researchers to examine a variety of important theoretical and clinical questions. The purpose of this systematic review was to ... -
Dalhousie dyspnea scales: construct and content validity of pictorial scales for measuring dyspnea
(2005-08)BACKGROUND: Because there are no child-friendly, validated, self-report measures of dyspnea or breathlessness, we developed, and provided initial validation, of three, 7-item, pictorial scales depicting three sub-constructs ... -
Differential expression of Hdac2 in male and female mice of differing social status
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)Mice naturally form social hierarchies and their experiences as subordinate or dominant mice inform future behavioural strategies. To better understand the neural bases of social dominance, we investigated hippocampal gene ... -
Drosophila ABC transporter mutants white, brown and scarlet have altered contents and distribution of biogenic amines in the brain
(2008-11)Monoamines such as dopamine, histamine and serotonin (5-HT) are widely distributed throughout the brain of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, where many of their actions have been investigated. For example, histamine ... -
Dyadic analysis of child and parent trait and state pain catastrophizing in the process of children's pain communication
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)Explored separately, child and parent catastrophic thoughts about child pain show robust negative relations with child pain. The objective of this study was to conduct a dyadic analysis to elucidate intra- and inter-personal ... -
