TL;DR: It is demonstrated that incorporating the multidimensional nature of childhood disruptive behavior traits shows promise in advancing the search for elucidating neurobiological correlates of disruptive behavior.

TL;DR: An independent, modest association between maternal folate concentrations in early pregnancy and foetal head growth is suggested and more research is needed to identify whether specific brain regions are affected and whether effects of folate on foetAL head growth influence children’s long-term functioning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between CBCL-DP and nonverbal intelligence using linear regression and found that children with CBCL -DP have a considerable lower non-verbal intelligence score than children without problems.

TL;DR: It is suggested that socioeconomic status, parental psychopathology, and social environment and interactions are the strongest risks for behavioral problems and cognitive performance in a general child population.

TL;DR: It is shown that children exposed to clinically relevant maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy have increased amygdala responses to negative emotional faces compared to control children, which is in line with a model in which prenatal depressive symptoms of the mother are associated with amygdala hyperresponsivity in her offspring, which may represent a risk factor for later-life psychopathology.
