Interestingly, ADHD has been robustly linked to the DRD4 7 repeat and ADHD adults often exhibit novelty seeking traits [53].
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has been robustly linked to decision making: patients with vmPFC disruption (e.g., fvFTD) display elevated betting on CGT (3,16).
Nine variables from three domains (related to socio-demographic factors, family/life satisfaction, and health behaviors) that have been robustly linked to IPV in epidemiological studies for IPV victimization among women and IPV perpetration among men were selected [ 27, 28, 42].
North American A. crassus are robustly linked to Japanese specimens, and European to Taiwanese.
Surprisingly, we found that although many of these marks are robustly linked to silent genes (which include both occluded genes and genes that are competent but silent), none is linked specifically to occluded genes.
For pharmacogenomics R&D to be robustly linked to public health action on the ground, we need to recognize that the entire scientific trajectory is open to influences by social systems and human values that remain unchecked in discourses around knowledge-based innovation.
A way around this problem is to identify animal state changes that are robustly linked to single identified sensory inputs, providing a defined entry point to dissect how neural networks are reconfigured to encode global states (e.g., Chamero et al., 2007; Kubli and Bopp, 2012; Dewan et al., 2013).
Although air pollution exposure is robustly linked to changes in cardiac autonomic nervous system activity (Pieters et al. 2012), which in turn may alter atrial electrical properties and increase the risk of atrial arrhythmia (Arora 2012; Lo et al. 2011; Park et al. 2012), the association between air pollutant exposure and supraventricular arrhythmia is less robust.
Impulsivity, a multidimensional construct robustly linked to drug addiction, has been increasingly examined as an obesity determinant, but with mixed findings.
Factors less robustly linked to a higher incidence of DID are a longer duration of unconsciousness following the initial hemorrhage [ 40], history of hypertension [ 37, 41], smoking [ 42, 43], and excess weight [ 41].
