Movement behaviours, body mass index, and demographics of toddlers and preschoolers attending Alberta child care centres
DownloadFall 2015
The overall objective of this thesis was to quantify levels of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep (movement behaviours), and determine how they are related to body mass index (BMI) in toddlers and preschoolers, while considering the impact of demographic variables. A sample of...

Sleep and children with cerebral palsy: A review of current evidence and environmental non-pharmacological interventions
Download2015
Brown, Cary A. , Roduta Roberts, Mary, Dutt, Risha
Between 23%–46% of children with cerebral palsy experience sleep problems. Many of the sensory-motor and cognitive features of cerebral palsy (such as immobility, pain, and seizures) act as predisposing factors for sleep problems in this population. This paper presents the background related to...

The Thalamic Nucleus Reuniens Facilitates Communication Between Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus
DownloadSpring 2022
Decades of research have established that two brain regions, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HPC), have dissociable but critical roles in memory. Often, these roles are co-operative and enable for the richness of episodic remembrances. It has remained relatively elusive,...
