Background: The independent associations of physical activity (PA), sleep duration (SL), and screen time (ST) with health outcome measures have been well-documented among children and adolescents, but not in youth with moderate/severe ADHD. To this end, the present study aimed to investigate the associations between three components within 24-hour movement behaviour (24-HMB) framework and core symptoms and school engagement in youth with moderate/severe ADHD.
Methods: This study used pooled data from the 2021-2022 U.
Microphthalmia, anophthalmia and coloboma (MAC) comprise a highly heterogeneous spectrum of congenital ocular malformations with an estimated incidence of 1 in 5000 to 1 in 30 000 live births. Although there is likely to be a genetic component in the majority of cases, many remain without a molecular diagnosis. Netrin-1 was previously identified as a mediator of optic fissure closure from transcriptome analyses of chick and zebrafish and was shown to cause ocular coloboma when knocked out in both mouse and zebrafish.

- Researchers studied neuron organization in the macaque monkey's area V4, focusing on shape and texture selectivity using advanced Neuropixels probes on two awake monkeys.
- They found that about 20% of neurons formed clusters with similar tuning, but these clusters were limited to specific layers rather than showing a columnar structure throughout the cortex.
- The findings suggest that area V4's organization prioritizes broader stimulus categories and spatial scales, opposed to fine-tuned columnar arrangements seen in the primary visual cortex, highlighting the complexity of input integration in mid-level visual processing.
Background: Reducing socioeconomic inequalities in obesity is a public health priority. Limited research exists on the role of neighbourhood environmental attributes in mitigating these inequalities. However, it has been shown that neighbourhoods with more greenery tend to have lower levels of socioeconomic inequalities in non-obesity health outcomes.
