Antenatal maternal anxiety and stress and the neurobehavioural development of the fetus and child: links and possible mechanisms. A reviewBea R H Van den Bergh
Department of Developmental Psychology, Catholic University of Leuven KULeuven, Tiensestraat 102, 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 29:237-58. 2005..The magnitude of the long-term effects of antenatal maternal anxiety/stress on the child is substantial. Programs to reduce maternal stress in pregnancy are therefore warranted...- Measuring the multidimensional self-concept and global self-worth of 6- to 8-year-oldsBea R H Van den Bergh
Population and Family Study Centre Brussels, Belgium
J Genet Psychol 164:201-25. 2003..Young children seem to have an ability to verbalize concepts of their global self-worth that can be tapped by self-report measures... - High antenatal maternal anxiety is related to impulsivity during performance on cognitive tasks in 14- and 15-year-oldsBea R H Van den Bergh
Department of Psychology, Catholic University Leuven, Tiensestraat 102, 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 29:259-69. 2005..We suspect that high maternal anxiety in the first half of pregnancy may negatively affect brain development of the fetus, reflected by impulsivity and lower WISC-R scores at 14-15 years... - [The importance of the prenatal life period]Bea van den Bergh
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Prax Kinderpsychol Kinderpsychiatr 53:221-36. 2004..Finally a description of recent developments and research findings is given of the discipline of behavioural teratology, which is related to the discipline of developmental psychopathology... - High antenatal maternal anxiety is related to ADHD symptoms, externalizing problems, and anxiety in 8- and 9-year-oldsBea R H Van den Bergh
Department of Psychology, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
Child Dev 75:1085-97. 2004..Anxiety at 12 to 22 weeks postmenstrual age turned out to be a significant independent predictor whereas anxiety at 32 to 40 weeks was not. Results are consistent with a fetal programming hypothesis... - Long-term cognitive sequelae of antenatal maternal anxiety: involvement of the orbitofrontal cortexMaarten Mennes
Department of Psychology, K.U.Leuven, Tiensestraat 102, 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 30:1078-86. 2006..Based on the established cortical map, these results were related to subtle developmental aberrations in a part of, or in cortical and sub-cortical regions linked to, the orbitofrontal cortex... - Visual-perceptual impairment in a random sample of children with cerebral palsyPeter Stiers
Laboratorium voor Neuropsychologie, KU Leuven Medical School, Belgium
Dev Med Child Neurol 44:370-82. 2002..We conclude that visual-perceptual impairment is frequent in children with physical disabilities, and not restricted to children with CP of hypoxic-ischaemic origin... - Optotype and grating visual acuity in patients with ocular and cerebral visual impairmentPeter Stiers

Laboratory for Neuropsychology, Katholoieke Universiteit Leuven Medical School, Leuven, Belgium
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 44:4123-30. 2003..To investigate the contribution of stimulus and response differences to the different developmental courses of grating and optotype visual acuity at the preschool age range... - The "why" and "how" of JointICA: results from a visual detection taskBogdan Mijovic

Neuroimage 60:1171-85. 2012..The performance of the algorithm in all the experiments is validated based on results from previous studies... - Removal of BCG artifacts from EEG recordings inside the MR scanner: a comparison of methodological and validation-related aspectsKatrien Vanderperren
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Department of Electrical Engineering, ESAT SCD, Leuven, Belgium
Neuroimage 50:920-34. 2010..Moreover, applying OBS prior to ICA can optimize the data quality even more, but caution is recommended since the effect of the additional ICA step may be strongly subject-dependent... - Global form perception in cats early deprived of pattern visionKalina Burnat
Laboratory of Neuroplasticity and Neuroproteomics, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Naamsestraat 59, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Neuroreport 16:751-4. 2005..We therefore conclude that binocularly-deprived cats do not attend to the global form of the stimuli. Instead, they spontaneously choose a local cue to discriminate and are not able to modify it... - Attention and information processing in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with chemotherapy onlyMaarten Mennes
Laboratory for Neuropsychology, Department of Paediatrics, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
Pediatr Blood Cancer 44:478-86. 2005..In spite of being slower, patients are equally accurate compared to control children...
