Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and pediatric suicidal behavior. Based upon the evolutionary perspectives of Nassim Taleb and educator Joseph C. Pearce, discussed are three identified behavioral risk factors that may contribute to activate, maintain, and increase the prevalence and severity of these disorders. These include the reduction of infant and caretaker bonding, increase in screen time, and disruption of circadian rhythms. Prevention strategies are suggested to reduce the risk factors
在过去的20年里,自闭症、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)、焦虑、抑郁和儿童自杀行为的患病率显著增加。基于Nassim Taleb和教育家Joseph C. Pearce的进化观点,本文讨论了三种已确定的行为风险因素,它们可能有助于激活、维持和增加这些疾病的患病率和严重程度。其中包括婴儿和看护人之间的联系减少,屏幕时间增加,昼夜节律中断。建议采取预防策略以减少危险因素
期刊介绍:
NeuroRegulation is a peer-reviewed journal providing an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, reviews, and public policy for neuroregulation and neurotherapy. NeuroRegulation publishes important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), psychophysiology, biofeedback, heart rate variability, photobiomodulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (rTMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS); with a focus on treatment of psychiatric, mind-body, and neurological disorders. In addition to research findings and reviews, it is important to stress that publication of case reports is always useful in furthering the advancement of an intervention for both clinical and normative functioning. We strive for high quality and interesting empirical topics presented in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field, to include: *basic science *clinical aspects *treatment evaluation *philosophy *training and certification issues *technology and equipment
