    • Admixture Determines Genetic Diversity and Population Differentiation in the Biological Invasion of a Lizard Species 

      Kolbe, Jason J.; Larson, Allan; Losos, Jonathan; de Queiroz, Kevin (The Royal Society, 2008)

    • Adolescent nonsuicidal self-injury: Examining the role of child abuse, comorbidity, and disinhibition 

      Auerbach, Randy Patrick; Kim, Judy C.; Chango, Joanna M; Spiro, Westley J.; Cha, Christine; Gold, Joseph; Esterman, Michael Scott; Nock, Matthew K. (Elsevier BV, 2014)
      The purpose of the study is to examine how several well-known correlates of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) might work together to contribute to the occurrence of this behavior. Specifically, we examined models including ...

      Reiches, Meredith W.; Moore, Sophie E.; Prentice, Andrew M.; Prentice, Ann; Sawo, Yankuba; Ellison, Peter T. (Oxford University Press, 2013)
      Background and objectives: Life history theory predicts a shift in energy allocation from growth to reproductive function as a consequence of puberty. During adolescence, linear growth tapers off and, in females, ovarian ...

    • Adolescent-specific patterns of behavior and neural activity during social reinforcement learning 

      Jones, Rebecca M.; Somerville, Leah; Li, Jian; Ruberry, Erika J.; Powers, Alisa; Mehta, Natasha; Dyke, Jonathan; Casey, B. J. (Springer Verlag, 2014)
      Humans are sophisticated social beings. Social cues from others are exceptionally salient, particularly during adolescence. Understanding how adolescents interpret and learn from variable social signals can provide insight ...

    • Adolescents let sufficient evidence accumulate before making a decision when large incentives are at stake 

      Teslovich, Theresa; Mulder, Martijn; Franklin, Nicholas T.; Ruberry, Erika J.; Millner, Alexander J; Somerville, Leah; Simen, Patrick; Durston, Sarah; Casey, B. J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
      Adolescent decision-making has been described as impulsive and suboptimal in the presence of incentives. In this study we examined the neural substrates of adolescent decision-making using a perceptual discrimination task ...

    • Adoption Does Not Increase the Risk of Mortality among Taiwanese Girls in a Longitudinal Analysis 

      Mattison, Siobhán M.; Brown, Melissa J.; Floyd, Bruce; Feldman, Marcus W. (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      Adopted children often experience health and well-being disadvantages compared to biological children remaining in their natal households. The degree of genetic relatedness is thought to mediate the level of parental ...

    • The ADS All-Sky Survey 

      Pepe, Alberto; Goodman, Alyssa; Muench, August A. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012)
      The ADS All-Sky Survey (ADSASS) is an ongoing effort aimed at turning the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), widely known for its unrivaled value as a literature resource for astronomers, into a data resource. The ADS ...

    • The AdS/QCD correspondence: still undelivered 

      Csáki, Csaba; Reece, Matthew; Terning, John (Springer Science + Business Media, 2009)
      We consider the particle spectrum and event shapes in large N gauge theories in different regimes of the short-distance ’t Hooft coupling, λ. The mesons in the small λ limit should have a Regge spectrum in order to agree ...

    • Adsorption and Diffusion of Lithium on Layered Silicon for Li-Ion Storage 

      Tritsaris, Georgios A.; Kaxiras, Efthimios; Meng, Sheng; Wang, Enge (American Chemical Society, 2013)
      The energy density of Li-ion batteries depends critically on the specific charge capacity of the constituent electrodes. Silicene, the silicon analogue to graphene, being of atomic thickness could serve as high-capacity ...

    • Adult axolotls can regenerate original neuronal diversity in response to brain injury 

      Amamoto, Ryoji; Huerta, Violeta Gisselle Lopez; Takahashi, Emi; Dai, Guangping; Grant, Aaron K; Fu, Zhanyan; Arlotta, Paola (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2016)
      The axolotl can regenerate multiple organs, including the brain. It remains, however, unclear whether neuronal diversity, intricate tissue architecture, and axonal connectivity can be regenerated; yet, this is critical for ...

    • Adult Height, Insulin Levels and 17β-Estradiol in Young Women 

      Finstad, Sissi Espetvedt; Emaus, Aina; Tretli, Steinar; Jasienska, Grazyna; Ellison, Peter T.; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Wist, Erik A.; Thune, Inger (American Association for Cancer Research, 2009)
      Background: Adult height and insulin levels have independently been associated with breast cancer risk. However, little is known about whether these factors influence estradiol levels. Thus, we hypothesize that adult ...

    • Adult neural stem cells in distinct microdomains generate previously unknown interneuron types 

      Merkle, Florian T.; Fuentealba, Luis C.; Sanders, Timothy A.; Magno, Lorenza; Kessaris, Nicoletta; Alvarez-Buylla, Arturo (2014)
      Throughout life, neural stem cells (NSCs) in different domains of the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) of the adult rodent brain generate several subtypes of interneurons that regulate the function of the olfactory ...
