The ability to effectively and automatically regulate one's response to emotional information is a basic, fundamental skill for social functioning. The neural mechanisms underlying emotion regulation processing have been assessed, however few investigations have leveraged neurophysiological techniques, particularly magnetoencephalography (MEG) to determine the development of this critical ability. The current MEG study is the first to examine developmental changes in the neural mechanisms supporting automatic emotion regulation.

Article Synopsis
  • - Working memory issues in individuals with autism correlate with more severe symptoms and negative outcomes, but the underlying brain mechanisms are not well understood, particularly concerning theta and alpha neural oscillations.
  • - A study using magnetoencephalography with adults with autism and controls found differences in how each group’s brains synchronized theta and alpha waves during working memory tasks, despite similar overall task performance.
  • - The results indicate distinct neural network engagements in autism, especially during the maintenance phase of working memory, which could inform understanding of cognitive impairments and highlight the importance of evaluating the specific components of working memory.

Objective: To characterise the incidence, symptoms and risk factors for withdrawal associated with prolonged dexmedetomidine infusion in paediatric critically ill patients.

Methods: Retrospective chart review in the paediatric intensive care unit and the cardiac critical care unit of a single tertiary children's hospital. Patients up to 18 years old, who received dexmedetomidine for longer than 48 hours were included.
