Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are very common and presently implicated in 9 out of 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Despite this fact, our mechanistic understanding of how ACEs impact health is limited. Moreover, interventions for reducing stress presently use a one-size-fits-all approach that involves no treatment tailoring or precision.

Experimental cognitive tests are designed to measure particular cognitive domains, although evidence supporting test validity is often limited. The Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics test battery administered 23 experimental and traditional neuropsychological tests to a large sample of community volunteers ( = 1,059) and patients with psychiatric diagnoses ( = 137), providing a unique opportunity to examine convergent validity with factor analysis. Traditional tests included subtests from the Wechsler and Delis-Kaplan batteries, while experimental tests included the Attention Networks Test, Balloon Analogue Risk Task, Delay Discounting Task, Remember-Know, Reversal Learning Task, Scene Recognition, Spatial and Verbal Capacity and Manipulation Tasks, Stop-Signal Task, and Task Switching.

To provide an evidence-based review of the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tic (CBIT) disorders. For close to a century, behavioral interventions for managing tics associated with Tourette and other tic disorders (TDs) were incorrectly considered ineffective and dangerous by the professional community, due, in large part, to unfounded fears that efforts to suppress tics would lead to a host of negative psychological, and even physical, outcomes (e.g.

The influence of light spectral properties on circadian rhythms is of substantial interest to laboratory-based investigation of the circadian system and to field-based understanding of the effects of artificial light at night. The trade-offs between intensity and spectrum regarding masking behaviors are largely unknown, even for well-studied organisms. We used a custom LED illumination system to document the response of wild-type house mice (Mus musculus) to 1-h nocturnal exposure of all combinations of four intensity levels (0.

Both music and language are found in all known human societies, yet no studies have compared similarities and differences between song, speech, and instrumental music on a global scale. In this Registered Report, we analyzed two global datasets: (i) 300 annotated audio recordings representing matched sets of traditional songs, recited lyrics, conversational speech, and instrumental melodies from our 75 coauthors speaking 55 languages; and (ii) 418 previously published adult-directed song and speech recordings from 209 individuals speaking 16 languages. Of our six preregistered predictions, five were strongly supported: Relative to speech, songs use (i) higher pitch, (ii) slower temporal rate, and (iii) more stable pitches, while both songs and speech used similar (iv) pitch interval size and (v) timbral brightness.

Purpose Of Review: Vitamin B (B12, cobalamin) deficiency has been associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, suggesting a role for B12 supplementation both as a treatment for psychiatric symptoms due to B12 deficiency and as an augmentation strategy for pharmacological treatments of psychiatric disorders. This critical review discusses the major causes of B12 deficiency, the range of psychiatric and non-psychiatric manifestations of B12 deficiency, the indications for testing B12 levels, and the evidence for B12 supplementation for major psychiatric disorders.
Recent Findings: We find that high-quality evidence shows no benefit to routine B12 supplementation for mild depressive symptoms or to prevent depression.

This article describes the development of a distance-delivered social skills training program for adults with Williams syndrome (SSTP-WS) through a community engaged approach. Throughout six phases of development, the research team received input from adults with Williams syndrome, caregivers, service providers, educators, and researchers on (a) the need for a training program and topics to be addressed (Phase 1), (b) an initial draft of the SSTP-WS (Phase 3), (c) the intervention pilot study (Phase 5), and (d) feedback to provide context for the results of the study (Phase 6). The development of the SSTP-WS resulted in an intervention aligned with the Williams syndrome community's values and needs that supports the unique cognitive and behavioral phenotypes and social characteristics of this low incidence disability population.

Dr. Vida and colleagues have published an important meta-analysis on a critical topic in psychiatry: the efficacy of double-blind, sham-controlled rTMS in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) [1]. The primary reported finding was a significant effect of rTMS on remission and response (RR 2.

However, concerns have been expressed about the negative effects of behavioral interventions, such as tic worsening, tic substitution, and excessive effort. This study explored perceived negative effects of tic management strategies in adults with TDs and predictors of these experiences.

Compared to the large body of maternal mental health research for other pediatric disorders, we know far less about the experience of mothers of children with 22q11DS. This study investigates the coping methods, protective factors, and mental health of this population. These findings might lead to better support for 22q11DS maternal mental health.

Background: Anxiety disorders often emerge in adolescence and are associated with risk aversion. Risk aversion conflicts with the typical adolescent approach-motivated phenotype and can interfere with learning and contribute to symptom maintenance.
Methods: We investigated the neural and behavioral correlates of risk avoidance in a diverse sample of adolescents (N = 137; M = 11.

To assess the extent to which articles examining telepsychiatry after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic provided racial and sociodemographic characteristics for people receiving audiovisual (video) versus audio-only telepsychiatry. We employed the keyword and screened all peer-reviewed articles in PubMed published from March 1, 2020, until November 23, 2022, prior to the federal government's announcement of the impending end to the COVID-19 public health emergency. We retrieved and reviewed the full-text articles of 553 results for potential inclusion, of which 266 were original research articles.

Joint attention (JA) is the purposeful coordination of an individual's focus of attention with that of another and begins to develop within the first year of life. Delayed, or atypically developing, JA is an early behavioral sign of many developmental disabilities and so assessing JA in infancy can improve our understanding of trajectories of typical and atypical development. This scoping review identified the most common methods for assessing JA in the first year of life.
