OverviewAI-generated summary
Leanna M. Delhey's research focuses on understanding and addressing neurological and psychiatric conditions, with a significant emphasis on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related developmental pathways. Her work investigates the role of biological factors, such as mitochondrial function and the impact of environmental influences like prenatal air pollution, in neurodevelopment and behavior. Delhey has explored potential therapeutic interventions, including the use of N-acetylcysteine, folinic acid, and intravenous immunoglobulin, in various clinical and preclinical studies.
Her publications include a systematic review on N-acetylcysteine in psychiatry and neurology, and several studies examining the effects of specific compounds like butyrate and propionic acid on mitochondrial function in cell lines relevant to autism. She has also investigated the impact of folate receptor alpha autoantibodies and the potential of folinic acid to improve verbal communication in children with ASD. Delhey's research network includes collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Shannon Rose, Elisabet Børsheim, Robert R. Delongchamp, and Christina Joshua, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
With an h-index of 21 and over 1,900 citations across 54 publications, Delhey's scholarly contributions reflect a sustained engagement with complex health science topics. Her recent work, including a 2020 publication on prenatal air pollution and ASD, indicates continued activity and relevance in her field, with recent publications extending into 2026.
