DOI: 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2025.3271
Abstract: Importance The opioid crisis remains a global public health issue, with poor clinical outcomes, low treatment adherence, and early dropouts being major challenges. These may be driven by a pathological increase in avoidance tendencies in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.23833
Abstract: The selection pressures exerted by pathogens have played important roles in shaping the biology and behavior of animals, including humans. Immune systems recognize and respond to cues of infection or damage by coordinating cellular, humoral,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23286
Abstract: Visual information is of pivotal ecological importance to monkeys, apes, and humans, whereas its role in nocturnal primate ecology is less well understood. We explored how purely visual information modulates the behavior of a nocturnal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.24352
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Parasite selection pressures have driven the evolution of numerous behavioral defenses in host species, but recent studies revealed individual variation in their expression. As little is known about the factors causing heterogeneity among individuals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3008
Abstract: BACKGROUND Valence and motivational direction are linked. We approach good things and avoid bad things, and experience overriding these links as conflicting. Positive valence is more consistently linked with approach than negative valence is linked… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.861
Abstract: The selective breeding of Roman High‐ (RHA) and Low‐Avoidance (RLA) rats for, respectively, rapid versus poor acquisition of the active avoidance response has generated two distinct phenotypes differing in many behavioral traits, including coping strategies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/clt2.12119
Abstract: Abstract Background After a positive food challenge (FC), patients receive dietary advice regarding avoidance of the culprit food. We examined the frequency and variables associated with dietary adherence after a positive FC in adults. Methods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.3619
Abstract: Earthworms were shown to significantly avoid soils spiked with Pb at concentrations lower than or comparable to concentrations that demonstrate significant effects for other endpoints. It was also shown that inclusion of a microorganism-produced volatile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hipo.23647
Abstract: Psychiatric disorders are multifactorial conditions without clear biomarkers, influenced by genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. Understanding these disorders requires identifying specific endophenotypes that help break down their complexity. Here, we undertake an in‐depth analysis of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hrm.22249
Abstract: We draw on job demands‐resources theory to develop and test a model that explores the direct and indirect (through relational energy) impact of inclusive leadership on workplace avoidance behaviors for neurodivergent employees. We also examine… read more here.
