One in three children the United States is exposed to insecure housing conditions, including unaffordable, inconsistent, and unsafe housing. These exposures have detrimental impacts on youth mental health. Delineating neurobehavioral pathways linking exposure insecurity with children's health has potential inform interventions policy. However, approaching this work, carefully considering lived experiences of families essential translating scientific discovery improve outcomes an equitable representative way. In current paper, we provide introduction range stressful that may face when conditions. Next, highlight findings from early-life stress literature regarding consequences housing, focusing how unpredictability associated neural circuitry supporting cognitive emotional development. We then delineate community-engaged research (CEnR) approaches been leveraged understand effects health, propose future directions integrate developmental neuroscience CEnR maximize impact work. conclude by outlining practice policy recommendations aim

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data

Functional Ecology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence. At present, however, we know little about why natural selection favours sensitive periods for some traits ontogeny and others This article synthesizes recent mathematical models empirical studies that explore beyond Across models, observe two general patterns. First, emerge when an organism's uncertainty the environment‐phenotype fit increases developmental stages. Second, cues stages reduce this more than earlier do. In literature, showing tend to be social traits, particularly among mammals. Connecting theory data, hypothesize mammals evolved expect reliable information from peers adolescence current future environment (e.g. dominance, mate value). Finally, highlight gaps our understanding suggest directions strengthening bridges between theoretical of periods. Ultimately, hope synthesis will contribute towards integrative science across biological sciences. Read free Plain Language Summary Journal blog.

Childhood unpredictability research within the developmental psychopathology framework: Advances, implications, and future directions

Development and Psychopathology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 12

Опубликована: Март 20, 2024

Abstract Greater unpredictability in childhood from the level of caregiver-child dyad to broader family, home, or environmental instability is consistently associated with disruptions cognitive, socioemotional, behavioral, and biological development humans. These findings are bolstered by experimental research non-human animal models suggesting that early life an important signal developing organism shapes neurodevelopment behavior. Research on has surged past several years, guided part theoretical grounding developmental psychopathology framework (shaped largely Dr. Dante Cicchetti’s innovative work). The current review focuses future directions for research, including probing intergenerational effects, role predictability resilience, cultural contextual considerations, novel outcomes should be tested relation unpredictability. We urge integration multidisciplinary perspectives collaborations into also provide ideas translating this real-world practice policy encourage high-quality testing whether incorporating interventions improves outcomes, which would support further dissemination these findings.

Multivariate links between the developmental timing of adversity exposure and white matter tract integrity in adulthood

Abstract Early-life adversity is pervasive worldwide and represents a potent risk factor for increased mental health burden across the lifespan. However, there substantial individual heterogeneity in associations between exposure, neurobiological changes, problems. Accounting key features of such as developmental timing exposure may clarify adversity, neurodevelopment, health. The present study leverages sparse canonical correlation analysis to characterize modes covariation age integrity white matter tracts throughout brain sample 107 adults. We find that during middle childhood (ages 5-6 8-9 particular) consistently linked with alterations tract integrity, supporting sensorimotor functions display higher relation while cortico-cortical communication lower integrity. Further, latent patterns experienced preschool 4-9) were associated trauma-related symptoms adulthood. Our findings underscore differentially affect function- developmental-timing specific manner suggest ages 4-9 shape development global ways are relevant adult

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data

Sensitive periods, during which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny, yet they also occur later ontogenetic stages, including adolescence. At present, however, we know little about why natural selection favors sensitive periods for some traits ontogeny and others ontogeny. This article synthesizes recent mathematical models empirical studies that explore beyond Across formal models, observe two general patterns. First, emerge when an organism’s uncertainty the environment-phenotype fit increases at developmental stages. Second, cues stages reduce this more than earlier do. In literature, showing tend to be social traits, particularly among mammals. Connecting theory data, hypothesize mammals evolved expect highly reliable information from peers adolescence current future environment (e.g. dominance, mate value). Finally, highlight gaps our understanding, describe how different ways of quantifying influenced observed patterns, suggest directions strengthening bridges between theoretical periods.

Violence victimisation and young adult cardiometabolic health: the role of timing and social identity

Annals of Human Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 51(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 20, 2024

Adolescent violence victimisation is associated with a spectrum of adult social and behavioural health outcomes, including adverse mental symptoms. However, underlying stress mechanisms linking adolescent to cardiometabolic remains poorly understood.
