Examining cortisol rhythmicity and responsivity to stress in children with Tourette syndromeB A Corbett
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California at Davis, 2825 50th Street, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
Psychoneuroendocrinology 33:810-20. 2008..Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by motor and vocal tics, which are often exacerbated by stress. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, a major stress response system is thus of interest for understanding TS...- Comparing cortisol, stress, and sensory sensitivity in children with autismBlythe A Corbett
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, California 95817, USA
Autism Res 2:39-49. 2009..The results support a complex interplay between physiological and behavioral stress and sensory sensitivity in autism and plausible developmental factors influencing stress reactivity across the groups... - Examining executive functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and typical developmentBlythe A Corbett
Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California at Davis, Davis, CA, USA
Psychiatry Res 166:210-22. 2009..In addition, the observed deficits in vigilance and inhibitory control suggest that a significant number of children with ASD present with cognitive profiles consistent with ADHD... - Variable cortisol circadian rhythms in children with autism and anticipatory stressBlythe A Corbett
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The M I N D Institute, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
J Psychiatry Neurosci 33:227-34. 2008.... - A functional and structural study of emotion and face processing in children with autismBlythe A Corbett

Brief report: the effects of Tomatis sound therapy on language in children with autismBlythe A Corbett
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, Davis, 2230 Stockton Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 38:562-6. 2008..41%, and placebo was 24.84%. Group 2 (Treatment/Placebo) showed -3.98% change for treatment and 14.15% change for placebo. The results reflect a lack of improvement in language using the Tomatis Method for children with autism...- A proteomic study of serum from children with autism showing differential expression of apolipoproteins and complement proteinsB A Corbett

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, M I N D Institute, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, 95817, USA
Child Neuropsychol 12:335-48. 2006..These findings suggest that many of the children with ASD demonstrate significant ADHD-like deficits. These findings are discussed in the context of symptoms, subtypes, and comorbidity... - Cortisol circadian rhythms and response to stress in children with autismBlythe A Corbett

Psychoneuroendocrinology 31:59-68. 2006..In order to provide preliminary data concerning HPA regulation and responsiveness, we compared circadian rhythms and response to a non-social, environmental stressor in children with and without autism... - Neural correlates of tic severity and cognitive control in children with Tourette syndromeC L Baym
Center for Mind and Brain, University of California at Davis, USA
Brain 131:165-79. 2008..These data suggest that children aged 7-13 unmedicated for TS exhibit increased activation in the direct pathway through the basal ganglia, as well as increased compensatory activation in prefrontal cortex and the subthalamic nucleus... 
Functional disconnection of frontal cortex and visual cortex in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorderAli Mazaheri
Center for Mind and Brain, University of California, Davis, Davis, California 95618, USA
Biol Psychiatry 67:617-23. 2010..In this electroencephalographic (EEG) study, we analyzed cross-frequency amplitude correlations to investigate differences in cue-induced functional connectivity in typically developing children and children with ADHD...- Exon expression and alternatively spliced genes in Tourette SyndromeYingfang Tian
M I N D Institute, Department of Neurology, University of California at Davis, Sacramento, 95817, USA
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 156:72-8. 2011..However, the findings are tempered by the small sample size and multiple comparisons and require confirmation using PCR or deep RNA sequencing and a much larger patient population... - The amygdala, autism and anxietyDavid G Amaral
Department of Psychiatry, Center for Neuroscience, University of California Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Novartis Found Symp 251:177-87; discussion 187-97, 281-97. 2003..If the amygdala is pathological in subjects with autism, it may contribute to their abnormal fears and increased anxiety rather than their abnormal social behaviour...

- The Role of the Amygdala in AutismBlythe Corbett; Fiscal Year: 2007..If true, the autistic amygdala might lead to the misperception of social situations through a failure to accurately read social cues resulting in inappropriate behavioral responding in social situations. ..
