OverviewAI-generated summary
Xiaoxu Na's research investigates the connections between maternal health during pregnancy and offspring neurodevelopment. Her work has explored how maternal diet quality is associated with neonatal brain white matter development and how maternal physical activity influences newborn brain cortical development. Na has also examined the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy and newborn brain functional connectivity. Further research extends to the effects of exercise on health outcomes in adolescents, specifically focusing on liver fat in those with obesity. Her publications also address the correlation between sleep disturbance and brain cortical morphometry in children, as well as the diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography for hepatosteatosis in youth. Na has a notable collaboration history with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Xiawei Ou, Charles M. Glasier, Thomas M. Badger, and Jayne Bellando, with whom she shares multiple publications.
