Subtle brain changes found in children exposed to trauma, even without behavioral symptoms. Children in high-trauma group showed reduced amplitude of brain responses in executive function regions. Males exhibited delayed responses in regions, while females showed faster reaction times during task. 🧠💔👦👧

Subtle brain changes found in children exposed to trauma, even without behavioral symptoms
Even in typically developing children, exposure to trauma appears linked to changes in brain regions that support attention and self-control, according to new research. The study also found sex-specific differences in how these brain responses were affected.

Single session of weightlifting improves executive function and processing speed
Lifting weights may help you think faster. Researchers found that acute resistance exercise boosts executive function, potentially because the temporary spike in systolic blood pressure increases brain arousal.

Math learning disability affects how the brain tackles problems. Children with math learning disability had less neural activity in the middle frontal gyrus, which has roles in executive function and in sustaining and directing attention, and in the anterior cingulate cortex, which detects errors

The COVID-19 pandemic may have interfered with young children’s (2,5 to 6,5 years) ability to stay focused, regulate their behavior, and adapt to new situations Read Full Article #ChildDevelopment #AttentionSkills #EarlyLearning #COVIDImpact #BehaviorRegulation
🧠 Study of 139 children (ages 2.5-6.5) found COVID-19 disruptions may have impacted young children's focus, behavior regulation, and adaptability.
📅 Children tested 1-3 years after the pandemic's start showed weaker links between early and later executive function skills compared to those tested over 3 years out.
🏫 Preschoolers at the pandemic's onset experienced steeper EF gains later, possibly due to disruptions in early schooling and social interaction.

How a third grader’s afternoon restlessness predicts their chances of finishing college
A third grader's afternoon restlessness might predict their educational future. Researchers tracking students with wearable devices found that the ability to sustain self-control throughout the school day strongly correlates with lifelong academic achievement.

People with ADHD have difficulties with goal-directed behavior and struggle with response inhibition, the ability to stop an inappropriate action once they feel the urge to do it. They experience a disruption in the way their brains balance deliberate self-control and automatic habit learning.

People with elevated ADHD traits miss out on an automatic learning advantage, study finds
While lowered mental restraint typically boosts a person's ability to unconsciously learn physical habits, new research shows that individuals with prevalent ADHD traits do not experience this same compensatory cognitive advantage.
