Suicidal ideation (SI), a potent risk factor for suicide attempts, increases in adolescence. While alterations dopaminergic functioning have been implicated suicidal acts—particularly adults—we do not know whether morphological dopamine-rich regions of the brain, such as striatum, are vulnerability factors emergence SI adolescents. At baseline, community sample 152 adolescents (89 female; mean age: 11.41 ± 1.01 years) completed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that was used to estimate...
Objective Individuals unable to complete neuropsychological tests within designated time limits (i.e. discontinue) are often excluded from statistical analysis. However, discontinuation may represent a meaningful clinical consideration. The present study investigated the utility of on Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B) as an indicator cognitive functioning.
Youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged families are disproportionately at risk for developing cardiometabolic diseases. Underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we examined whether socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with structural variations in regions that underlie emotion processing and executive control, those were turn during adolescence. Primary areas of interest included the dorsolateral prefrontal (dlPFC) orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), secondary...
Abstract Infancy is marked by rapid neural and emotional development. The relation between brain function emotion in infancy, however, not well understood. Methods for measuring predominantly rely on the BOLD signal; interpretation of signal infancy challenging because neuronal‐hemodynamic immature. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) provides a context infant can yield insight into developmental maturity regions that may support affective behaviors. This study aims to elucidate relations...
Bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs) are associated with reward hypersensitivity, impulsivity, and structural abnormalities within the brain's system. Using a behavioral high-risk study design based on sensitivity, this paper had two primary objectives: 1) investigate whether elevated positive urgency, tendency to act rashly when experiencing extreme affect, is risk for or correlate of BSDs, 2) examine nature relationship between urgency grey matter volume in fronto-striatal regions, among...
Abstract Objective Executive function (EF) differences exist among children and adolescents with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder learning disorders (ADHD+LD), relative to ADHD or LD alone. The impact of cognitive proficiency (i.e., working memory processing speed) on EF is unclear across these diagnoses. Method This study investigated relations between measures for 360 clinic-referred youth (ages 8–18) diagnosed ADHD, LD, ADHD+LD, No Diagnosis ADHD/LD following...
Bipolar spectrum disorders (BSDs) are associated with reward hypersensitivity, impulsivity, and structural abnormalities within the brain’s system. Using a behavioral high-risk study design based on sensitivity, this paper had two primary objectives: 1) investigate whether elevated positive urgency, tendency to act rashly when experiencing extreme affect, is risk for or correlate of BSDs, 2) examine nature relationship between urgency grey matter volume in fronto-striatal regions, among...
