However, almost no research has included environmental spanning micro-to-macro-systems, structure, psychopathology in an integrated framework. Here, we assessed the ways degree which multi-system during late childhood predict subcortical volume early adolescence.

There has been significant progress in understanding the effects of childhood poverty on neurocognitive development. This captured attention policymakers and promoted progressive policy reform. However, prevailing emphasis harms associated with may have inadvertently perpetuated a deficit-based narrative, focused presumed shortcomings children families poverty. focus can unintended consequences for (e.g., overlooking strengths) as well public discourse focusing individual rather than systemic factors). Here, we join scientists across disciplines arguing more well-rounded, "strength-based" approach, which incorporates positive and/or adaptive developmental responses to experiences social disadvantage. Specifically, first show value this approach normative brain development diverse human environments. We then highlight its application educational policy, explore pitfalls ethical considerations, offer practical solutions conducting strength-based research responsibly. Our paper re-ignites old recent calls paradigm shift, cognitive neuroscience. also unique perspective from new generation early-career researchers engaged work, several whom themselves grown up conditions Ultimately, argue that balanced scientific will be essential building effective policies.

We structural equation modeling investigate variables (e.g., quality including access early health insurance, walkability). externally validated these factors with measures psychopathology, impulsivity, behavioral activation inhibition. Exploratory analyses identified four factors: Neighborhood Enrichment, Socioeconomic Attainment, Education, Poverty Level. Attainment Education were associated overall reduced impulsivity system, whereas increased Level was externalizing symptoms, an aspects impulsivity.

The growing availability of large-population human biomedical datasets provides researchers with unique opportunities to conduct rigorous and impactful studies on brain behavioral development, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding neurodevelopment in diverse populations. However, the patterns observed these are likely be influenced by upstream structural inequities (i.e., racism), which can lead health disparities based race, ethnicity, social class. This paper addresses need guidance self-reflection research conceptualizing, contextualizing, communicating issues related race ethnicity. We provide recommendations as starting point rethink ethnicity choices study design, model specification, statistical analysis, communication results, implement practices avoid further stigmatization historically minoritized groups, engage that counteract existing harmful biases.

By using geospatial information such as participants' residential history along with external datasets of environmental exposures, ongoing studies can enrich their cohorts to investigate the role environment on brain-behavior health outcomes. However, challenges may arise if clear guidance and key quality control steps are not taken at outset data collection information. Here, we detail protocol development aimed improving lifetime address from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. This generates a workflow for minimizing gaps in information, processes, reducing misclassification error exposure estimates.
