Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexandra Sestito"
- Alexandra Sestito's research primarily focuses on understanding the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) on diseases and behaviors, particularly in children with Juvenile-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (JoRRP) and the studying of impulsive choices in rats under various drug effects.
- In a 2021 study, Sestito identified predictive factors for the severity of JoRRP associated with different HPV strains, highlighting the importance of virus type in disease management and screening protocols for affected children.
- Her work also explores the psychological aspects of risky choices and impulsivity, examining how various substances, such as d-amphetamine and GluN2B-selective antagonists, influence decision-making processes in animal models, thereby providing insights into behavioral pharmacology.
