TL;DR: Pronounced differences were found in Left perisylvian/Language and Medial temporal/Memory systems, along with significant differences in Lateral/Prefrontal/Working memory and Anterior cingulate/Cognitive control and smaller, nonsignificant differences in Occipitotemporal/Pattern vision and Parietal/Spatial cognition.

TL;DR: Young inner-city children have a high exposure to violence by age 7 years; many show signs of distress that frequently are not recognized by caregivers and correlates with poorer performance in school, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and lower self-esteem.

TL;DR: Using a longitudinally collected data set with ecologically valid in-home measures of childhood experience and later in-laboratory behavioral measures of cognitive ability, a double dissociation was found: on the one hand, there was a selective relation between parental nurturance and memory development, consistent with the animal literature on maternal buffering of stress hormone effects on hippocampal development.

TL;DR: Although no ECF was directly related to risk taking, working memory and one measure of reward processing performance (reversal learning) were inversely related to impulsivity.

TL;DR: SNIPPV is more effective than NCPAP in weaning infants with RDS from the ventilator in preterm infants being ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome, and PFT may be useful in predicting successful extubation.
