Investigators used an at-home EEG recording device to monitor the changes in individual alpha frequency (IAF), a unique brain activity signature in the 8-12 Hz frequency band. IAF day-to-day variability was found to be stable over a 1 month period and was also found to be related to trait anxiety.

As our country aims to implement measures to decrease suicide, of which over half are due to firearms, we explore the role of ERPO (Extreme Risk Protection Order) laws to temporarily remove guns from individuals at elevated risk.

We have discovered distinct roles for the primary (A1) and secondary (A2) auditory cortices in the extraction of complex sound features: specifically, frequency modulation is extracted by A1, while A2 encodes the concurrent multifrequency spectrum.

In this perspective we discuss pre-clinical models of opioid use disorder and argue that we need to consider multiple models to fully understand the human condition.

In this paper we investigated sleep behavior, and patterns in mouse models of opioid use disorder. We investigated sleep behavior also following a sleep deprivation experiment in the same mice after a week of forced abstinence.

The effects of trauma (childhood sexual abuse) on rate of cognitive decline. The results indicate that epigenetic age acceleration has the potential to serve as a biomarker for cognitive decline in patients with a child maltreatment history or psychiatric disorders
