Infants' neural responses to facial emotion in the prefrontal cortex are correlated with temperament: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study.

Frontiers in psychology

Ravicz MM, Perdue KL, Westerlund A, Vanderwert RE, Nelson CA.
PMID: 26257663
Front Psychol. 2015 Jul 20;6:922. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00922. eCollection 2015.

Accurate decoding of facial expressions is critical for human communication, particularly during infancy, before formal language has developed. Different facial emotions elicit distinct neural responses within the first months of life. However, there are broad individual differences in such...

Vandervert L.
PMID: 28748095
Cerebellum Ataxias. 2017 Jul 20;4:12. doi: 10.1186/s40673-017-0070-x. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Mathematicians and scientists have struggled to adequately describe the RESULTS: It is argued that during infancy the cerebellum learns (1) a first tier of internal models for a primitive physics that constitutes the foundations of visual-spatial working memory,...

The Pacified Face: Early Embodiment Processes and the Use of Dummies.

Frontiers in psychology

Rychlowska M, Vanderwert R.
PMID: 32231618
Front Psychol. 2020 Mar 13;11:387. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.00387. eCollection 2020.

Few things affect us as much as facial expressions, as they inform us about others' feelings and intentions, thereby influencing our own emotions and behaviors. A substantial body of literature links the critical abilities of recognizing and understanding emotion...

How Prediction Based on Sequence Detection in the Cerebellum Led to the Origins of Stone Tools, Language, and Culture and, Thereby, to the Rise of Homo .

Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

PMID: 30483059
Front Cell Neurosci. 2018 Nov 13;12:408. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2018.00408. eCollection 2018.

This article extends Leiner et al.'s watershed position that cerebellar mechanisms played prominent roles in the evolution of the manipulation and refinement of ideas and language. First it is shown how cerebellar mechanism of sequence-detection may lead to the...

Contact network changes in ordered and disordered disk packings.

Soft matter

Tuckman PJ, VanderWerf K, Yuan Y, Zhang S, Zhang J, Shattuck MD, O'Hern CS.
PMID: 32940321
Soft Matter. 2020 Oct 28;16(41):9443-9455. doi: 10.1039/d0sm01137a.

We investigate the mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, frictionless disks to quasistatic deformations. The deformations include simple shear strain at constant packing fraction and at constant pressure, "polydispersity" strain (in which we change the particle size distribution)...

Exploring the Benefits of Doll Play Through Neuroscience.

Frontiers in human neuroscience

Hashmi S, Vanderwert RE, Price HA, Gerson SA.
PMID: 33132876
Front Hum Neurosci. 2020 Oct 01;14:560176. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2020.560176. eCollection 2020.

It has long been hypothesized that pretend play is beneficial to social and cognitive development. However, there is little evidence regarding the neural regions that are active while children engage in pretend play. We examined the activation of prefrontal...

Pressure Dependent Shear Response of Jammed Packings of Frictionless Spherical Particles.

Physical review letters

VanderWerf K, Boromand A, Shattuck MD, O'Hern CS.
PMID: 32031840
Phys Rev Lett. 2020 Jan 24;124(3):038004. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.038004.

The mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, spherical particles to athermal, quasistatic simple shear near jamming onset is highly nonlinear. Previous studies have shown that, at small pressure p, the ensemble-averaged static shear modulus ⟨G-G_{0}⟩ scales with p^{α},...

A new method for measuring the neutron lifetime using an in situ neutron detector.

The Review of scientific instruments

Morris CL, Adamek ER, Broussard LJ, Callahan NB, Clayton SM, Cude-Woods C, Currie SA, Ding X, Fox W, Hickerson KP, Hoffbauer MA, Holley AT, Komives A, Liu CY, Makela M, Pattie RW, Ramsey J, Salvat DJ, Saunders A, Seestrom SJ, Sharapov EI, Sjue SK, Tang Z, Vanderwerp J, Vogelaar B, Walstrom PL, Wang Z, Wei W, Wexler JW, Womack TL, Young AR, Zeck BA.
PMID: 28571423
Rev Sci Instrum. 2017 May;88(5):053508. doi: 10.1063/1.4983578.

In this paper, we describe a new method for measuring surviving neutrons in neutron lifetime measurements using bottled ultracold neutrons (UCN), which provides better characterization of systematic uncertainties and enables higher precision than previous measurement techniques. An active detector...

How music training enhances working memory: a cerebrocerebellar blending mechanism that can lead equally to scientific discovery and therapeutic efficacy in neurological disorders.

Cerebellum & ataxias

Vandervert L.
PMID: 26339499
Cerebellum Ataxias. 2015 Sep 04;2:11. doi: 10.1186/s40673-015-0030-2. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Following in the vein of studies that concluded that music training resulted in plastic changes in Einstein's cerebral cortex, controlled research has shown that music training (1) enhances central executive attentional processes in working memory, and (2) has...

Psychosocial deprivation, executive functions, and the emergence of socio-emotional behavior problems.

Frontiers in human neuroscience

McDermott JM, Troller-Renfree S, Vanderwert R, Nelson CA, Zeanah CH, Fox NA.
PMID: 23675333
Front Hum Neurosci. 2013 May 10;7:167. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2013.00167. eCollection 2013.

Early psychosocial deprivation can negatively impact the development of executive functions (EFs). Here we explore the impact of early psychosocial deprivation on behavioral and physiological measures (i.e., event-related potentials; ERPs) of two facets of EF, inhibitory control and response...
