<h3>Importance</h3> The prevalence of underage alcohol use has been studied extensively, but binge drinking among youth in the United States is not yet well understood. In particular, adolescents may drink much larger amounts than threshold (5 drinks) often used definitions drinking. Delineating various levels drinking, including extreme levels, and understanding predictors such will benefit public health efforts. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine 5+ (≥5 10+ (≥10 15+ (≥15 12th graders States....

Marijuana use may alter ventral striatal response to reward, which might heighten susceptibility substance disorder. Longitudinal research is needed determine the effects of marijuana on neural function involved in reward response.To whether among young adults prospectively affects nucleus accumbens (NAcc) activation during anticipation.One hundred eight were recruited from Michigan Study, an ongoing study youth at high risk for disorder and a contrast sample control families. Participants...

Well-validated models of maternal behavior in small-brain mammals posit a central role oxytocin parenting, by reducing stress and enhancing the reward value social interactions with offspring. In contrast, human studies are only beginning to gain insights into how modulates affiliation.To explore associations between receptor genes parenting humans, we conducted genetic imaging study women selected exhibit wide range observed when their children were 4-6 years old.In response child stimuli...

Abstract Background Structural models of psychopathology consistently identify internalizing (INT) and externalizing (EXT) specific factors as well a superordinate factor that captures their shared variance, the p factor. Questions remain, however, about meaning these data-driven dimensions interpretability distinguishability larger nomological networks in which they are embedded. Methods The sample consisted 10 645 youth aged 9–10 years participating multisite Adolescent Brain Cognitive...

Though largely substance-naïve at enrollment, a proportion of the youth in Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study are expected to initiate substance use (SU) as they transition into later adolescence. With annual data from 9–13 years-old, this study aims describe their SU patterns over time. Here, prevalence rates reported, along with predicted odds while analyzing common risk-factors associated SU. The ABCD StudyⓇ enrolled 11,876 participants Baseline (ages 9-10) and has...

This work investigated the impact of heavy marijuana use during adolescence on emotional functioning, as well brain functional mediators this effect. Participants (n = 40) were recruited from Michigan Longitudinal Study (MLS). Data collected prospectively beginning in childhood part MLS. classified users 20) or controls with minimal use. Two facets functioning—negative emotionality and resiliency (a self-regulatory mechanism)—were assessed MLS at three time points: mean age 13.4, 19.6, 23.1....

Adolescent boredom is associated with maladaptation and negative developmental outcomes, yet little known about the prevalence correlates of high boredom. Drawing from a broad psychosocial framework, present study examined rates sociodemographic contextual among nationally representative samples 8th 10th graders ( N = 21,173; 51.8% female) Monitoring Future survey. Results indicate that approximately 20% adolescents reported levels Those who were more likely to report eighth graders;...

Abstract Childhood adversity can negatively impact development across various domains, including physical and mental health. Adverse childhood experiences have been linked to aggression substance use; however, developmental pathways explain these associations are not well characterized. Understanding early precursors later problem behavior use inform preventive interventions. The aim of the current study was examine neurobiological through which may lead adolescent in late adolescence by...

Abstract Background HIV guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) screening by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for all postmenopausal women and men ≥50 years. Uptake of these recommendations has been low. This study describes DXA practices among people with (PWH) at highest risk low BMD. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review PWH aged ≥65 or older who were seen care the University Colorado within last year. First available most recent scans collected; FRAX score was...

Adolescence is a period of growth in cognitive performance and functioning. Recently, data-driven measures brain-age gap, which can index decline older populations, have been utilized adolescent data with mixed findings. Instead using approach, here we assess the maturation status brain functional landscape early adolescence by directly comparing an individual's resting-state connectivity (rsFC) to canonical early-life adulthood communities. Specifically, hypothesized that degree youth's...

Having a family history of alcohol use problems (FH+) conveys risk for in offspring. Reward-related brain functioning may play role this vulnerability. The present study investigated function the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) associated with anticipation reward youth two biological parents (FH+2), one parent (FH+1), and no (FH-).

Abstract Childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are believed to result from disrupted neurocognitive development. However, evidence for the clinical and predictive value of assessments in this context has been mixed, there have no large-scale efforts quantify their potential use generalizable models that predict individuals’ ADHD new data. Using data drawn Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD), a consortium recruited diverse sample over 10,000 youth...

The goal of this work was to characterize the maturation inhibitory control brain function from childhood early adulthood using longitudinal data collected in two cohorts. Functional MRI during a go/no-go task conducted 290 participants, with 88 % undergoing repeated scanning at 1- 2-year intervals. One group entered study age 7–13 years (n = 117); other 18–23 173). 33.1 sample had parents substance use disorder (SUD), 43.8 one parent an SUD, and 23.1 no SUD. 1162 scans were completed,...
