Corticosteroid therapy in regressive autism: a retrospective study of effects on the Frequency Modulated Auditory Evoked Response (FMAER), language, and behavior
Duffy, Frank H; Shankardass, Aditi; McAnulty, Gloria B; Eksioglu, Yaman Z; Coulter, David; Rotenberg, Alexander; Als, Heidelise (BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Up to a third of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) manifest regressive autism (R-ASD).They show normal early development followed by loss of language and social skills. Absent evidence-based therapies, ... -
EEG spectral coherence data distinguish chronic fatigue syndrome patients from healthy controls and depressed patients-A case control study
Duffy, Frank Hopkins; McAnulty, Gloria; McCreary, Michelle C; Cuchural, George J; Komaroff, Anthony L. (Springer Nature, 2011)Background: Previous studies suggest central nervous system involvement in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), yet there are no established diagnostic criteria. CFS may be difficult to differentiate from clinical depression. ... -
The frequency modulated auditory evoked response (FMAER), a technical advance for study of childhood language disorders: cortical source localization and selected case studies
Duffy, Frank H; Eksioglu, Yaman Z; Rotenberg, Alexander; Madsen, Joseph R; Shankardass, Aditi; Als, Heidelise (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Language comprehension requires decoding of complex, rapidly changing speech streams. Detecting changes of frequency modulation (FM) within speech is hypothesized as essential for accurate phoneme detection, ... -
N100 Repetition Suppression Indexes Neuroplastic Defects in Clinical High Risk and Psychotic Youth
Gonzalez-Heydrich, Joseph; Bosquet Enlow, Michelle; D'Angelo, Eugene; Seidman, Larry J.; Gumlak, Sarah; Kim, April; Woodberry, Kristen A.; Rober, Ashley; Tembulkar, Sahil; O'Donnell, Kyle; Hamoda, Hesham M.; Kimball, Kara; Rotenberg, Alexander; Oberman, Lindsay M.; Pascual-Leone, Alvaro; Keshavan, Matcheri S.; Duffy, Frank H. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016)Highly penetrant mutations leading to schizophrenia are enriched for genes coding for N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor signaling complex (NMDAR-SC), implicating plasticity defects in the disease's pathogenesis. The importance ... -
Neurophysiological differences between patients clinically at high risk for schizophrenia and neurotypical controls – first steps in development of a biomarker
Duffy, Frank H.; D’Angelo, Eugene; Rotenberg, Alexander; Gonzalez-Heydrich, Joseph (BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Schizophrenia is a severe, disabling and prevalent mental disorder without cure and with a variable, incomplete pharmacotherapeutic response. Prior to onset in adolescence or young adulthood a prodromal period ... -
NIDCAP improves brain function and structure in preterm infants with severe intrauterine growth restriction
Als, Heidelise; Duffy, Frank Hopkins; McAnulty, Gloria; Butler, Samantha C.; Lightbody, L; Kosta, S; Weisenfeld, Neil I; Robertson, Richard Lee; Parad, Richard Barry; Ringer, Steven Alan; Blickman, J G; Zurakowski, David; Warfield, Simon Keith (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)Objective: The effect of NIDCAP (Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program) was examined on the neurobehavioral, electrophysiological and neurostructural development of preterm infants with severe ... -
The relationship of Asperger’s syndrome to autism: a preliminary EEG coherence study
Duffy, Frank H; Shankardass, Aditi; McAnulty, Gloria B; Als, Heidelise (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: It has long been debated whether Asperger’s Syndrome (ASP) should be considered part of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or whether it constitutes a unique entity. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, ... -
School-age effects of the newborn individualized developmental care and assessment program for preterm infants with intrauterine growth restriction: preliminary findings
McAnulty, Gloria; Duffy, Frank Hopkins; Kosta, Sandra; Weisenfeld, Neil I; Warfield, Simon Keith; Butler, Samantha C.; Alidoost, Moona; Bernstein, Jane Holmes; Robertson, Richard Lee; Zurakowski, David; Als, Heidelise (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: The experience in the newborn intensive care nursery results in premature infants’ neurobehavioral and neurophysiological dysfunction and poorer brain structure. Preterms with severe intrauterine growth restriction ... -
A stable pattern of EEG spectral coherence distinguishes children with autism from neuro-typical controls - a large case control study
Duffy, Frank Hopkins; Als, Heidelise (BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The autism rate has recently increased to 1 in 100 children. Genetic studies demonstrate poorly understood complexity. Environmental factors apparently also play a role. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies ...
