Brain development in the first years of life is the most dynamic and perhaps the most important phase of postnatal brain development. In this time period there is a significant increase in overall brain size (with the brain reaching 80-90% of adult volume by age two) and the rapid development of a wide range of cognitive and motor functions. The ability to document brain development during this period of rapid and critical modification is absolutely essential to shed light on our understanding of brain development. This information not only offers profound scientific implications regarding our understanding of how the brain orchestrates the complex functional and cognitive developments but also provides great insights into possible mechanisms and etiology of developmental disorders. While results have been reported in the literature along these directions, two major limitations are associated with these studies. First, most of the studies

The purpose of this study is to see if voters evaluate politicians who change their positions on issues differently depending on how the position change is presented. Study participants are given a statement from a politician who has claimed to change their mind, and then asked if they would vote for that politician. This study hopes to see if issue preferences are the primary determinant of vote choice or if consistency is valued in any context in politicians.

We want to understand how agency leaders are communicating with their employees in response to the #CommitToChange campaign.

The purpose of this study is to understand what information is posted about COVID-19 on ReOpen groups.

COVIDE-19 forced teachers to shift their teaching rapidly from face-to-face classroom to online environment. For many instructors with no previous online teaching experience, this unanticipated transition was not easy. Thus, the teaching community needs to understand teachers' perceptions, struggles, and experiences during this transition to provide effective support. This study aims to address this emerging issue, and to make recommendations for professional development in online university teaching in response to emergency situations.

We test how social media affects perceptions of news events and social groups. We theorize that information embedded in social media, such as the tools for social networking and signaling approval, fuels intergroup competition and changes how we perceive events compared to traditional news media and face-to-face interactions. Social networking sites communicate, through likes and shares, the degree that social movements and ideas are gaining power. Thus, we predict that digital social movements attract counter movements that attempt to suppress them and that exposure to these conflicts hurts users' psychological well-being.

The 2019 Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC) outlined a dual-identity framework that highlights the role of one's personal professional identity and interprofessional identity in interprofessional teams. The purpose of this study is to investigate the personal and interprofessional competencies representative of pharmacists on interprofessional healthcare teams.

We want to discover the anxiety levels in our patients at the UNC Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. We also want to see the effect of a new treatment modality, Animal Assisted Therapy, on anxiety related to dental treatments.

We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).

We are doing a diagnostic evaluation of patients with Primary Immunodeficiencies (PID) and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) to see if we can determine clinic differences between the two groups. This information will help us to define future studies.
