Summary: The study found that maternal antenatal depression is associated with alterations in infant brain anatomy in early postnatal life, including increased subcortical grey matter and decreased midbrain volumes, which are not accounted for by medication exposure. However, the study has limitations and cannot determine the impact of anatomical differences on future outcomes of the offspring.

Summary: The efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating depression is internationally recognized. However, the central mechanism is not yet standardized, but it is believed to regulate the neural pathway of the limbic system. Recent studies using fMRI have explored the central mechanism and brain effects of acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. This study reviews the fMRI studies on brain function related to acupuncture treatment and the associated brain network effects on depression, providing a reference for future research.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the potential clinical utility of functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of depression in Parkinson's disease (DPD). The results showed that both the ReHo value of the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and the DC value of the left inferior temporal gyrus were equally well suited for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of DPD, with a combination of them being slightly preferable. The multimodal MRI technique represents a promising approach for the classification of subjects with PD.

Summary: Through large-scale magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies, changes in neurometabolite levels in patients with depression were explored. Consistent alterations were found in the levels of total choline and the tCho/N-acetyl aspartate ratio, which were higher, and in the levels of NAA, glutamate and glutamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid, which were lower. Specific brain regions also showed altered neurometabolite levels, such as lower glutamate levels in the prefrontal cortex and lower GABA concentrations in the occipital cortex. These findings contribute to our understanding of neurometabolic changes in depression.

Summary: The study included 64 foetuses with cortical formation abnormalities (CFA) who underwent two in utero magnetic resonance (iuMR) exams, with 62% showing consistent CFA description between the two studies. In 38% of cases, there was a category change, including cases without CFA initially detected, changes in laterality/symmetry, and re-classification within the same group. Brain abnormalities other than CFA were present in around half of the cases on both first and second studies. Prognosis was predicted to have changed in 8% of cases based on the second study, with all indicating a worse prognosis.

Summary: The aim of this research was to investigate alterations in functional brain networks in Parkinson's disease patients with depression (DPD). The study found that DPD patients had decreased local efficiency in certain brain regions compared to healthy controls, and showed weaker connections between different brain regions compared to the control group. These results suggest that PD depression is associated with disruptions in the topological organization of functional brain networks.

Summary: This study investigated prenatal and early postnatal risk factors associated with the development of disruptive behaviors. The findings showed that pure forms of disruptive behaviors have specific etiologies, while co-occurrent disruptive behaviors share common risk factors. Risk factors such as male sex, a higher number of siblings, maternal symptoms of depression and conduct problems, young motherhood, lack of positive parenting, family dysfunction, and lower socioeconomic status were found to affect the development of disruptive behaviors.

Summary: This study aimed to understand how early oral language contributes to later writing skills and to explore the extent to which genetic and environmental factors explain these potential associations. The results showed that preschool language skills were modestly associated with high school writing and that school age language fully mediated this association. Additionally, genetic factors explained a significant portion of the associations between preschool language and school age language, as well as between school age language and high school writing.

Summary: Prospective research is needed to better understand the changes in substance use among emerging adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that changes in alcohol and cannabis use varied according to preexisting substance use, COVID-19-related factors, and preexisting factors. While some young individuals with preexisting vulnerabilities showed stable or decreased substance use, those who experienced employment loss, loneliness, and financial concerns during COVID-19 increased their substance use. This highlights the importance of providing support for vulnerable populations during the pandemic.

Summary: This study examined the role of genetic and environmental factors in explaining different trajectories of adolescents' depressive symptoms, as well as the correlation between genetic factors and peer victimization. The results showed that genetic factors explained about half of the probability of following a low or increasing trajectory, while nonshared environmental factors explained the remaining variance. Moreover, frequent peer victimization increased the influence of nonshared environmental factors.

Summary: Promoting problem-solving in students is an important goal in secondary science education. However, there is a mismatch between the complex nature of real scientific problems and the structured problems students usually encounter. This study investigates a teaching strategy that combines hierarchical problem-solving strategies with domain-specific question agendas to address this mismatch. The results show that participating students became more proficient in applying problem-solving strategies and problem abstraction.

Summary: A study of 36,516 parents from six international cohorts reveals associations between parental genetics and parental investments in offspring, from behaviors during pregnancy to wealth inheritance in adulthood. The effects of parental genetics on behaviors tend to be small at any given time point, but accumulate over development. This suggests that parents pass on advantages to their children through genetic associations with investments across various stages of development.
