Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development

Brain Age Gap Associations with Externalising Behaviours in Youth: A Longitudinal Investigation in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Cohort

This study investigates the association between brain age gap and externalising behaviours in youth, finding a cross-sectional link that weakens over time.

A convergent behavioral-neural profile of parental dysregulation and the link between parent-child brain-state similarity and child negative affect

The paper examines how parent-child neural similarity relates to child negative affect, finding that this relationship depends on the parent's emotional regulation profile.

Individual-Level Associations of Cognition and Personality With Adolescent Mental Health Vary Across Brain and Environmental Profiles

The paper examines how cognition and personality relate to adolescent mental health, showing these associations vary with brain, environmental, and pubertal factors.

Mapping social profiles in childhood and adolescence: associations with cognition and brain structure

The paper identifies four social profiles in children and adolescents using data-driven methods and links them to cognitive, clinical, and neural outcomes.

From Family Relationship to Regulation: Parent-Child Amygdala Activation Similarity is Linked to Prefrontal Recruitment and Youth Emotional Adaptation

The paper examines how parent-child neural similarity in amygdala activation during uncertainty relates to youth emotional adaptation through prefrontal connectivity.

Neural Synchrony in Parent-Child Dyads: Profiles Associated with Interparental Conflict and Internalizing Symptoms

The paper identifies two neural synchrony profiles in parent-child dyads and links them to interparental conflict and child internalizing symptoms.

Maternal characteristics and their relation to early mother-child interaction and cognitive development in toddlers

The paper examines how maternal personality traits and mental health relate to early child cognitive development and mother-child interaction patterns in toddlers.

Understanding the development of neural abnormalities in adolescents with mental health problems: a longitudinal study

This study identifies brain abnormalities and developmental trajectories associated with the onset of six mental health problems in adolescents.

Integrating multi-system environmental factors to predict brain and behavior in adolescents

This study integrates multi-system environmental factors with brain structure and psychopathology to identify profiles predicting externalizing problems in adolescents.

Mood variability during adolescent development and its relation to sleep and brain development

This study examines mood variability in adolescents, finding gender differences in its peak timing and associations with brain structure and sleep patterns.

Corticolimbic connectivity mediates the relationship between pubertal timing and mental health problems

The paper examines how earlier pubertal timing affects mental health through changes in corticolimbic connectivity in adolescents, finding mediation effects on withdrawn depressed problems and environmental moderation.

A Multidimensional Approach to Understanding the Emergence of Sex Differences in Internalizing Symptoms in Adolescence

This study investigates multidimensional factors influencing sex differences in internalizing symptoms in adolescents using ABCD data, finding that pubertal development affects symptoms through family conflict, with no significant role for sex hormones or amygdala response.

Developmental Patterning of Irritability Enhances Prediction of Psychopathology in Pre-adolescence: Improving RDoC with Developmental Science

The paper examines how developmental patterns of irritability predict psychopathology in pre-adolescence, showing that changes over time provide better prediction than single-timepoint assessments.

Atypical Child-Parent Neural Synchrony Links to Children's Psychopathological Symptoms

The paper investigates how negative family emotional climate affects children's psychopathological symptoms through child-parent neural synchrony, finding reduced vmPFC-hippocampal correlations in such dyads.

Associations Between Vocal Emotion Recognition and Socio-emotional Adjustment in Children

This study finds that better recognition of speech prosody emotions correlates with better socio-emotional adjustment in children, even after controlling for cognitive ability and other factors.

Elucidating the neuroanatomical correlates of social connectedness, sleep quality and psychological distress in early adolescence

The paper examines the relationship between social connectedness, sleep quality, white matter integrity, and psychological distress in early adolescents using regression analysis.

The Association of Externalizing and Internalizing Problems with Indicators of Intelligence in a Sample of At-Risk Children

The paper examines the association between intelligence indicators and behavioral problems in at-risk children, finding some link between lower IQ and higher total behavioral scores.

The p factor: Genetic analyses support a general dimension of psychopathology in childhood and adolescence

The paper investigates a general dimension of psychopathology (p factor) across childhood and adolescence, finding it highly heritable and genetically stable.
