Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a prioritized list of research themes and essential data points related to mental health issues in children and adolescents presenting to emergency departments (ED).
- A Delphi survey involving various stakeholders, including clinicians and patients, was conducted to gather and prioritize these research themes and data points.
- The final results highlighted 71 key items, focusing on safety in the ED, the effectiveness of mental health spaces, follow-up care, and important data like risk factors and behavioral disturbances.
There is robust evidence implicating inhibitory deficits as a fundamental behavioural phenotype in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, prior studies have not directly investigated the role in which white matter properties within the fronto-basal-ganglia circuit may play in the development of inhibitory control deficits in this group. Combining recent advancements in brain-behavioural modelling, we mapped the development of stop-signal task (SST) performance and fronto-basal-ganglia maturation in a longitudinal sample of children aged 9-14 with and without ADHD.

Intro: Paediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) is likely to result in cognitive impairment, specifically executive dysfunction. Evidence of the neuroanatomical correlates of this executive function (EF) impairment is derived from studies that treat morphometry of brain regions as distinct, independent features, rather than as a complex network of interrelationships. Morphometric similarity captures the meso-scale organisation of the cortex as the interrelatedness of multiple macro-architectural features and presents a novel tool with which to investigate the brain post pTBI.

- Early childhood is a period where children have underdeveloped motor and cognitive skills, increasing their risk for traumatic injuries, including concussions.
- There is limited understanding of concussions in young children compared to older age groups, prompting a need for more comprehensive research and knowledge.
- The review offers insights into the symptoms, diagnosis, and management of concussions in early childhood, while emphasizing the need for developmentally suitable methods to enhance detection and treatment.
