Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Xiawei Ou's research focuses on neuroimaging and its associations with maternal factors and early child development. Her work investigates how maternal nutrition, physical activity, and mental health during pregnancy impact offspring brain development, including cortical development and functional connectivity. Ou has also studied circulating microRNAs in relation to metabolic markers in adolescents with hepatosteatosis and the effects of exercise training on liver fat in this population. Her publications include research on MRI findings in opioid-exposed fetuses, with a specific focus on brain measurements.
She has a publication record of 65 articles, with 1,348 citations, and an h-index of 19. Ou collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Xiaoxu Na, Charles M. Glasier, Thomas M. Badger, and Jayne Bellando, with whom she has co-authored numerous publications.
