The proposed study sought to investigate whether maternal experiences of racial discrimination and gendered racial stress are associated with offspring executive functioning. Total 266 Black mother-child pairs in the United States were assessed from pregnancy through child age of 4 years. We hypothesized that children whose mothers reported higher rates of perceived gendered racial stress during pregnancy and racial discrimination throughout their lifetime would have lower scores on executive functioning assessments.

- The study investigates the link between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and neurodevelopment in preterm infants, focusing on potential racial disparities.
- A sample of 55 preterm infants was analyzed for mtDNAcn using blood samples taken during their NICU stay and assessed for neurobehavioral development at various stages.
- Results indicate that higher mtDNAcn is linked to poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in white infants, whereas lower mtDNAcn is associated with similar outcomes in black infants, highlighting a need for understanding the mechanisms behind these disparities.
