Stimulant medication use and apparent cortical thickness development in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
We found no evidence for long-term effects of stimulant-treatment for ADHD on apparent cortical thickness development in adolescents and adults. The identified age-dependent differences in apparent cortical thickness development are consistent with existing literature on typical cortical development
Individual sleep need is flexible and dynamically related to cognitive function
Stakeholder engagement in European brain research
INTRODUCTION: Stakeholder engagement remains scarce in basic brain research. However, it can greatly improve the relevance of investigations and accelerate the translation of study findings to policy. The Lifebrain consortium investigated risk and protective factors influencing brain health using cognition, lifestyle and imaging data from European cohorts. Stakeholder activities of Lifebrain-organized in a separate work package-included organizin…
No phenotypic or genotypic evidence for a link between sleep duration and brain atrophy
Short sleep is held to cause poorer brain health, but is short sleep associated with higher rates of brain structural decline? Analysing 8,153 longitudinal MRIs from 3,893 healthy adults, we found no evidence for an association between sleep duration and brain atrophy. In contrast, cross-sectional analyses (51,295 observations) showed inverse U-shaped relationships, where a duration of 6.5 (95% confidence interval, (5.7, 7.3)) hours was associate…
People's interest in brain health testing
Brain health entails mental wellbeing and cognitive health in the absence of brain disorders. The past decade has seen an explosion of tests, cognitive and biological, to predict various brain conditions, such as Alzheimer's Disease. In line with these current developments, we investigated people's willingness and reasons to—or not to—take a hypothetical brain health test to learn about risk of developing a brain disease, in a cross-sectional mul…
The Global Brain Health Survey
Background: Brain health is a multi-faceted concept used to describe brain physiology, cognitive function, mental health and well-being. Diseases of the brain account for one third of the global burden of disease and are becoming more prevalent as populations age. Diet, social interaction as well as physical and cognitive activity are lifestyle factors that can potentially influence facets of brain health. Yet, there is limited knowledge about th…
Cognitive and Socioemotional Functioning at 41⁄2 Years in Children Born to Mothers Who Have Received Treatment for Substance‐abuse Problems While Pregnant
Cognitive and socioemotional functioning at 41⁄2 years of age were examined in children born to mothers with substance‐abuse problems ( n = 22) recruited from residential treatment institutions while pregnant, and then compared to children born to mothers with mental health problems ( n = 18) and children from a low‐risk group ( n = 26). No significant group differences in cognitive functioning were found, but the children born to mothers with su…
Social perspective taking is associated with self-reported prosocial behavior and regional cortical thickness across adolescence
Basic perspective taking and mentalizing abilities develop in childhood, but recent studies indicate that the use of social perspective taking to guide decisions and actions has a prolonged development that continues throughout adolescence. Here, we aimed to replicate this research and investigate the hypotheses that individual differences in social perspective taking in adolescence are associated with real-life prosocial and antisocial behavior …
