Overview

Moriah E. Thomason is affiliated with New York University in the United States. Their research primarily falls within the field of Medicine, with a significant focus on Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Clinical Psychology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Cognitive Neuroscience. The scientist's work concentrates on topics such as Maternal Mental Health During Pregnancy and Postpartum, Neonatal and Fetal Brain Pathology, Infant Development and Preterm Care, Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development, COVID-19 Impact on Reproduction, Birth, Development, and Health, and Functional Brain Connectivity Studies.

Among recent papers authored or coauthored by Moriah E. Thomason are:

  • Development of Brain Networks In Utero: Relevance for Common Neural Disorders (2020), published in Biological Psychiatry
  • Interactive relations between maternal prenatal stress, fetal brain connectivity, and gestational age at delivery (2021), published in Neuropsychopharmacology

Other notable research papers related to their field include:

  • Changes in social support of pregnant and postnatal mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021), published in Midwifery
  • Maternal stress during pregnancy alters fetal cortico-cerebellar connectivity in utero and increases child sleep problems after birth (2021), published in Scientific Reports
  • Increasing diversity in developmental cognitive neuroscience: A roadmap for increasing representation in pediatric neuroimaging research (2022), published in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

Moriah E. Thomason frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Cassandra L. Hendrix, Natalie H. Brito, Denise M. Werchan, Christopher J. Trentacosta, and Lanxin Ji. These collaborations have contributed to advancing research in their primary areas of study.

The scientist's research output has appeared predominantly in several publication venues such as Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Biological Psychiatry, SSRN Electronic Journal, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, and Pediatric Research.

Areas of expertise reflected in Thomason's production include understanding prenatal and perinatal factors affecting brain development, the impact of maternal stress on fetal outcomes, and the influence of socio-environmental factors on child health trajectories. Their work integrates approaches from clinical psychology, obstetrics, and neuroscience to explore complex developmental processes.
