Cortical hyperarousal in children may predict insomnia in adolescence
Read about the first developmental study to examine whether increased beta EEG activity in childhood precedes the onset of pathological insomnia symptoms in adolescence.

A cognitive neuroscience review of the aetiology of ADHD
A simple neurological explanation has yet to identify an aetiology and pathogenesis of the disorder. However, advancements in imaging techniques should help to give a more detailed understanding of the brain regions that are different to those without ADHD.

Accelerated cortical thinning correlates with early signs of depression
The brain undergoes structural changes as it develops over childhood, but whether abnormal structural changes are associated with emerging depressive symptoms in adolescence is unknown. Now, a longitudinal study that enrolled 205 participants aged 8-25 years without signs of depression has used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor these brain changes over adolescence.

Brain firing, but not wiring, is different in children with ADHD
When in a relaxed state, the brains of children and adolescents with ADHD tend to fire differently to those without the disorder, although there don’t seem to be changes in the physical connections or ‘wiring’ of their brains.

Annual Research Review: On the developmental neuropsychology of substance use disorders
The researchers identify certain neurocognitive and personality/comorbidity-based risk factors for the onset of substance misuse during adolescence, and summarise the evidence suggesting that these risk factors may be further impacted by the direct effect of drugs on the underlying neural circuits implicated in substance misuse vulnerability.
