The study includes a sociodemographically diverse cohort of nearly 12,000 youth born 2005–2009, with an open science model of making data rapidly available to the scientific community. The ABCD Study® data has been used in over 1100 peer-reviewed publications since its first data release in 2018. The dataset contains a broad scope and comprehensive set of measures of youths’ behavioral, health, and brain outcomes, as well as extensive contextual and environmental measures that map onto the social determinants of health (SDOH). Understanding the impact of SDOH on the developmental trajectories of youth will help to address early lifecourse health inequities that lead to disparities later in life. However, the open science model and extensive use of ABCD data highlight the need for guidance on appropriate, responsible, and equitable use of the data.</div></div><div><h3>Design Methods</h3><div>Our conceptual framework integrates the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Research Framework with strength-based and data equity perspectives. We use this framework to articulate best practices and methods for investigations that aim to identify the multilevel pathways by which structural and systemic inequities impact adolescent health trajectories.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Using our conceptual model, we provide recommendations for equitable health disparities research using ABCD Study data. We identify over fifty ABCD measures that can encompass SDOH across five levels of influence: individual, interpersonal, school, community, and societal. We expand the societal level to acknowledge structural discrimination as the root cause of systemic and structural inequities resulting in health disparities among marginalized youth. We apply the methodological recommendations in an example data analysis using a multi-level approach that integrates strength-based and data equity perspectives to elucidate pathways by which social and structural inequities may influence cognitive decision making in youth. We conclude with recommendations for strengthening the utility of ABCD data for health disparities research now and in the future.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Adolescence is a critical period of development with subsequent ramifications for health outcomes across the lifespan. Thus, understanding SDOH among diverse youth can inform prevention interventions before the emergence of health disparities in adulthood.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49083,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101497"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11731755/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142899605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past research has examined associations between infant feeding and nutrition and morphological features of the brain, yet there remains a paucity of information on functional characteristics of neural activity during feeding. Within this article, we discuss how neuroimaging modalities can be optimized for researching the impacts of infant feeding and nutrition on brain function. We review past research utilizing EEG and fNIRS and describe our efforts to further develop neuroimaging approaches that allow for measurement of brain activity during active feeding with greater spatial resolution (e.g., fMRI and OPM-MEG). We also discuss current challenges, as well as the scientific and logistical limitations of each method.

Here, sleep-wake organisation in the fetus and newborn is reviewed, and then its interaction with sensory inputs discussed with a focus on somatosensory and auditory modalities. Next, these ideas are applied to how neurological insults affect early development, using fetal growth restriction as a test case. Finally, the argument is made that taking account of sleep-wake state during perinatal functional neuroimaging can better index sensorimotor, language, and cognitive brain activities, potentially improving its diagnostic and prognostic value. To sum up, sensory and sleep-wake functions go hand in hand during early human development.

Using neuroimaging data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE), we modeled normative trajectories of between-network resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in non-ASD males across childhood (n = 321). These normative charts were then applied to ASD males (n = 418) to calculate individual deviation scores (z-scores) that reflect the degree of rsFC atypicality. Deviations in rsFC patterns among the default mode network (DMN), ventral attention network (VAN), frontoparietal network (FPN), and somatomotor network (SMN) were associated with distinct dimensions of social behavior. Cognitive flexibility and working memory mediated the association between VANxDMN z-scores and social behavioral problems.

Here we used a rhesus model of MALT to examine long-term effects on state anxiety and threat/safety learning in 25 adolescents, using a fear conditioning paradigm (AX+/BX-) with acoustic startle amplitude as the peripheral measure. The AX+/BX- paradigm measures baseline startle, fear-potentiated startle, threat/safety cue discrimination, startle attenuation by safety signals, and extinction. Baseline startle was higher in MALT animals, suggesting elevated state anxiety. No differences in threat learning, or threat/safety discrimination were detected. However, MALT animals showed generalized blunted responses to the conditioned threat cue, regardless of the safety cue presence in the transfer test, and took longer to extinguish spontaneously recovered threat.
