Different mechanisms of episodic memory failure in mild cognitive impairmentChristine Wu Nordahl
Center for Neuroscience, University of California at Davis, Davis, CA, USA
Neuropsychologia 43:1688-97. 2005..Although both syndromes are associated with episodic memory deficits, CVD is additionally associated with working memory and executive control deficits...- White matter changes compromise prefrontal cortex function in healthy elderly individualsChristine Wu Nordahl
University of California at Davis, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 18:418-29. 2006..These results suggest that disruption of white matter tracts, especially within the PFC, may be a mechanism for age-related changes in memory functioning... - Cortical folding abnormalities in autism revealed by surface-based morphometryChristine Wu Nordahl
The Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Institute and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, California 95817, USA
J Neurosci 27:11725-35. 2007..These findings are consistent with evidence of an altered trajectory of early brain development in autism, and they identify several regions that may have abnormal patterns of connectivity in individuals with autism... - Brief report: methods for acquiring structural MRI data in very young children with autism without the use of sedationChristine Wu Nordahl
M I N D Institute and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California at Davis, 2805 50th Street, Sacramento, CA, 95817, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 38:1581-90. 2008..Scanning very young children with autism, typical development, and developmental delays without the use of sedation or anesthesia was possible in the majority of cases... - Brain enlargement is associated with regression in preschool-age boys with autism spectrum disordersChristine Wu Nordahl
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Institute, UC Davis School of Medicine, University of California, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:20195-200. 2011..For boys with regressive autism, divergence in brain size occurs well before loss of skills is commonly reported. Thus, rapid head growth may be a risk factor for regressive autism... - Increased rate of amygdala growth in children aged 2 to 4 years with autism spectrum disorders: a longitudinal studyChristine Wu Nordahl
MIND Institute, University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Arch Gen Psychiatry 69:53-61. 2012..Precocious amygdala enlargement is commonly observed in young children with autism. However, the age at which abnormal amygdala enlargement begins and the relative growth trajectories of the amygdala and total brain remain unclear... - Neuroanatomy of autismDavid G Amaral
The M I N D Institute, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, 2825 50th Street, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Trends Neurosci 31:137-45. 2008..Defined phenotypes in larger samples of children and well-characterized brain tissue will be necessary for clarification of the neuroanatomy of autism... - Bridging the gap between MRI and postmortem research in autismCynthia Mills Schumann
University of California, Davis School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The MIND Institute, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Brain Res 1380:175-86. 2011..We then describe how they relate and what they can learn from each other. Only by integrating these approaches will we be able to fully explain the neuropathology of autism...
