  • A Genome-Wide Association Study of Attention Function in a Population-Based Sample of Children.
    Alemany, Silvia; Vilor Tejedor, Natàlia, 1988-; Bustamante Pineda, Mariona; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Fenoll, Raquel; Álvarez Pedrerol, Mar; Forns i Guzman, Joan, 1981-; Júlvez Calvo, Jordi; Suades González, Elisabet; Llop, Sabrina; Rebagliato, Marisa; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (Public Library of Science (PLoS) , 2016)
    BACKGROUND: Attention function filters and selects behaviorally relevant information. This capacity is impaired in some psychiatric disorders and has been proposed as an endophenotype for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity ...
  • Airborne copper exposure in school environments associated with poorer motor performance and altered basal ganglia.
    Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Fenoll, Raquel; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Álvarez Pedrerol, Mar; Rivas, Ioar; Forns i Guzman, Joan, 1981-; Deus, Joan; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Querol, Xavier; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (Willey, 2016)
    INTRODUCTION: Children are more vulnerable to the effects of environmental elements. A variety of air pollutants are among the identified factors causing neural damage at toxic concentrations. It is not obvious, however, ...
  • Attenuated frontal and sensory inputs to the basal ganglia in cannabis users
    Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Pujol, Jesús; Harrison, Ben J.; Macià, Dídac; Batalla, Albert; Nogué, Santiago; Torrens, Marta; Farré, Magí; Deus, Joan; Martín Santos, Rocío (Wiley, 2017)
    Heavy cannabis use is associated with reduced motivation. The basal ganglia, central in the motivation system, have the brain's highest cannabinoid receptor density. The frontal lobe is functionally coupled to the basal ...
  • Characterization of the Spatial Structure of Local Functional Connectivity Using Multidistance Average Correlation Measures
    Macià, Dídac; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Martín Santos, Rocío; Deus, Joan (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2018)
    There is ample evidence from basic research in neuroscience of the importance of local corticocortical networks. Millimetric resolution is achievable with current functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanners and ...
  • Differences between the child and adult brain in the local functional structure of the cerebral cortex
    Pujol, Jesús; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Deus, Joan; Pérez Solá, Victor; Cardoner, Narcís; Soriano Mas, Carles; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (Elsevier, 2021)
    Imaging studies on neuronal network formation provide relevant information as to how the brain matures during adolescence. We used a novel imaging approach combining well-established MRI measures of local functional ...
  • Effect of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on basal ganglia and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in primary school children
    Mortamais, Marion; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; van Drooge, Barend L.; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Reynes, Christelle; Sabatier, Robert; Rivas, Ioar; Grimalt Obrador, Joan; Forns i Guzman, Joan, 1981-; Álvarez Pedrerol, Mar; Querol, Xavier; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (Elsevier, 2017)
    Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been proposed as environmental risk factors for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The effects of these pollutants on brain structures potentially ...
  • Mapping the synchronization effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid inhibition on the cerebral cortex using magnetic resonance imaging
    Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Pujol, Jesús; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Martín Santos, Rocío; Pérez Solá, Victor; Deus, Joan (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2021)
    Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of spontaneous brain activity permits the identification of functional networks on the basis of region synchrony. The functional coupling between the elements of a ...
  • Sustained seropositivity up to 20.5 months after COVID-19
    Dobaño, Carlota; Ramírez-Morros, Anna; Alonso, Selena; Rubio, Rocío; Ruiz-Olalla, Gemma; Vidal Alaball, Josep; Macià, Dídac; Miró Catalina, Queralt; Vidal, Marta; Fuster Casanovas, Aina; Prados de la Torre, Esther; Barrios, Diana; Jiménez, Alfons; Zanoncello, Jasmina; Rodrigo Melero, Natalia; Carolis, Carlo; Izquierdo, Luis; Aguilar, Ruth; Moncunill, Gemma; Ruiz-Comellas, Anna (BioMed Central, 2022)
    This study evaluated the persistence of IgM, IgA, and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid antigens up to 616 days since the onset of symptoms in a longitudinal cohort of 247 primary health care workers from Barcelona, ...
  • The Association between Lifelong Greenspace Exposure and 3-Dimensional Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Barcelona Schoolchildren
    Dadvand, Payam; Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Macià, Dídac; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Mortamais, Marion; Álvarez Pedrerol, Mar; Fenoll, Raquel; Esnaola, Mikel; Dalmau Bueno, Albert; López Vicente, Mònica, 1988-; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Jerrett, Michael; Nieuwenhuijsen, Mark J.; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), 2018)
    BACKGROUND: Proponents of the biophilia hypothesis believe that contact with nature, including green spaces, has a crucial role in brain development in children. Currently, however, we are not aware of evidence linking ...
  • Traffic pollution exposure is associated with altered brain connectivity in school children.
    Pujol Martí, Jesús, 1981-; Martínez-Vilavella, Gerard; Macià, Dídac; Fenoll, Raquel; Álvarez Pedrerol, Mar; Rivas, Ioar; Forns i Guzman, Joan, 1981-; Blanco Hinojo, Laura, 1981-; Capellades Font, Jaume; Querol, Xavier; Deus, Joan; Sunyer Deu, Jordi (Elsevier, 2016)
    Children are more vulnerable to the effects of environmental elements due to their active developmental processes. Exposure to urban air pollution has been associated with poorer cognitive performance, which is thought to ...
