Sex Differences in the Spatial Behavior Functions of Adult-Born Neurons in Rats.

Adult neurogenesis modifies hippocampal circuits and behavior, but removing newborn neurons does not consistently alter spatial processing, a core function of the hippocampus. Additionally, little is known about sex differences in neurogenesis since few studies have compared males and females. Since adult-born neurons regulate the stress response, we hypothesized that spatial functions may be more prominent under aversive conditions and may differ between males and females given sex differences in stress responding.

Adapting the Advocate Health Care Taxonomy of Chaplaincy for a Pediatric Hospital Context: A Pilot Study.

There is increasing pressure to provide an evidence base for chaplaincy with children and young people. This is an underresearched area, and current evidence is often anecdotal. Advocate Health Care in Chicago (funded by the Templeton Foundation working in partnership with the Health Care Chaplaincy Network) developed a 100-item taxonomy that was the starting point for a wider international initiative in developing a taxonomy for use in health care chaplaincy.
