Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Scoping Review of Functional Outcomes and Neuroplasticity-Related Evidence

How family functioning shapes prenatal bonding: a mediation analysis of depressive symptoms and maternal–fetal attachment

Objective: Pregnancy is a period in a woman’s life characterized by profound hormonal, psychological, and social changes, which may lead to increased emotional vulnerability, during which depressive symptoms may negatively affect maternal well-being and maternal–fetal attachment. Although family functioning has traditionally been examined mainly in relation to psychopathology, its protective role during pregnancy remains insufficiently explored. This study examined whether depressive symptoms...

Effective Enhancement of the Electron-Phonon Coupling Driven by Nonperturbative Electronic Density Fluctuations

We present a dynamical mean-field study of nonperturbative electronic mechanisms, which may lead to significant enhancements of the electron-phonon coupling in correlated electron systems. Analyzing the effects of electronic correlations on the lowest-order electron-phonon processes, we show that in the proximity of the Mott metal-to-insulator transition of the doped square lattice Hubbard model, where the isothermal charge response becomes particularly large at small momenta, the coupling of...

Inelastic scattering and transient localization from coupling to two-level systems

We consider an electron interacting locally with two-level systems (TLSs) as an archetypal model for charge transport in the presence of inelastic scatterers. To assess the importance of quantum effects in the optical and dc conductivity we solve the model numerically using the finite temperature Lanczos method, and compare the results with both dynamical mean-field theory and the relaxation time approximation. In the slow fluctuation limit, the coupling to the TLSs causes transient localizat...
