Climate change has raised significant concerns about its impact on health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents. While extensive research examined physical health effects, limited attention been given to the influence of extreme heat developmental behavioral outcomes. This study investigates association between exposure early puberty initiation (ages 9-10), using data from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. It further explores how correlates with problems tobacco use initiation. Data 11,878 participants in ABCD were analyzed examine relationship (independent variable) (outcome). Behavioral evaluated downstream outcomes puberty. Covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, assessed Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed analysis. Extreme significantly associated earlier at ages 9-10. Early puberty, turn, correlated higher levels an increased likelihood These findings underscore importance addressing environmental factors reduce risks maturation, including substance challenges. Targeted interventions policies are needed mitigate child development, longitudinal studies essential confirm these results inform effective prevention strategies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made an unprecedented shift in children's daily lives. Children are increasingly spending time with screens to learn and connect others. As the online environment rapidly substitutes in-person experience, understanding neuropsychological trajectories associated screen experiences is important. Previous findings suggest that excessive use can lead children prefer more immediate rewards over delayed outcomes. We hypothesized increased delays a child's development of inhibitory control system brain (i.e., fronto-striatal circuitry). By analyzing data from 8324 (9–11ys) ABCD Study, we found who had showed higher reward orientation weaker connectivity. Importantly, exposure mediated effect sensitivity on two year period. These possible negative long-term impacts development. results further demonstrated influences dorsal striatum connectivity, which suggests habitual seeking behavior. study provides neural behavioral evidence for impact developing children.

Abstract The linear mixed‐effects model (LME) is a versatile approach to account for dependence among observations. Many large‐scale neuroimaging datasets with complex designs have increased the need LME; however LME has seldom been used in whole‐brain imaging analyses due its heavy computational requirements. In this paper, we introduce fast and efficient algorithm (FEMA) that makes vertex‐wise, voxel‐wise, connectome‐wide large samples possible. We validate FEMA extensive simulations, showing estimates of fixed effects are equivalent standard maximum likelihood but obtained orders magnitude improvement speed. demonstrate applicability by studying cross‐sectional longitudinal age on region‐of‐interest level vertex‐wise cortical thickness, as well functional connectivity values derived from resting state MRI, using data Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development SM Study release 4.0.

A child's socioeconomic environment can shape central aspects of their life, including vulnerability to mental disorders. Negative environmental influences in youth may interfere with the extensive and dynamic brain development occurring at this time. Indeed, there are numerous yet diverging reports associations between parental status (SES) child cortical morphometry. Most these studies have used single metric- or unimodal analyses standard morphometry that downplay probable scenario where biological pathways

The HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study, a multi-site prospective longitudinal cohort study, will examine human brain, cognitive, behavioral, social, emotional development beginning prenatally planned through early childhood. acquisition of multimodal magnetic resonance-based brain data is central to the study's core protocol. However, application Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods in this population complicated by technical challenges difficulties imaging life. Overcoming these requires an innovative harmonized approach, combining age-appropriate protocols together with specialized pediatric neuroimaging strategies.
