TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with accelerated maturation of amygdala-vmPFC RSFC and suggested that the pathophysiology of pediatric anxiety depends on a child’s neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics, and the importance of examining SES effects in studies of brain development is underscore.

TL;DR: Identifying a neurobiological substrate for NVLD provides evidence that it is a discrete clinical entity and suggests targets for treatment and functional connectivity of the spatial network was atypically associated with cognitive and socioemotional performance in children with NVLD.

TL;DR: The authors found that higher verbal intelligence was most associated with less severe autism communication symptoms, and when VIQ was included in models predicting ASD symptoms, associations with PIQ and IQ discrepancy were not significant.

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that higher prenatal airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) exposure was associated with worse spelling skills (WJ-III Spelling, β−−0.16, 95%Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.30, −0.02, p = 0.03).
