Despite the teratogenic effects of alcohol, little is known about the safety of pharmacotherapies such as acamprosate for the treatment of alcohol use disorders in pregnancy. The aims of this study were to investigate, in a mouse model, the effects of maternally administered acamprosate on maternal and neonatal health, offspring neurodevelopment and behaviour, as well as examine whether acamprosate reduces the neurological harm associated with alcohol consumption in pregnancy.
Autism spectrum disorders are complex, with a strong genetic basis. Genetic research in autism spectrum disorders is limited by the fact that these disorders are largely heterogeneous so that patients are variable in their clinical presentations. To address this limitation, we investigated the genetics of individual dimensions of the autism spectrum disorder phenotypes, or autistic-like traits. These autistic-like traits are continuous variations in autistic behaviours that occur in the general population.
Mothers of a child with autism spectrum disorder have more psychiatric disorders after the birth of their child.
This study investigated the capacity of three accelerometer-type devices to measure walking activity in Rett syndrome
Eating disorder prevalence rates were significantly greater when using DSM-5 than DSM- IV-TR criteria, at all time points for females and at age 17 only...
Purging at age 17 and externalising behaviour problems at age 14 were the strongest predictors of eating disorder persistence to age 20.
This research explored the relationship between the broader autism phenotype (BAP) among parents, an index of genetic liability for ASD, and proband...
We used data from a large Australian population to determine the independent and moderating effects of maltreatment and parental SSDs on early childhood.
Almost of 10% of children with FASD has significant motor impairment. Evaluation of motor function should routinely be included in assessments for FASD.
Childhood maltreatment and history of parental SSD are associated independently with poor early childhood social-emotional functioning
