Summary: Problematic internet use (PIU) has negative impacts on the mental health of adolescents. This study used neuroimaging techniques to investigate the functional connectivity in the brains of PIU adolescents. The findings suggest that there are abnormal connections between brain networks related to emotional regulation in PIU adolescents. These results contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying PIU.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) to measure spontaneous neural activity in healthy young adults and used the Monetary Choice Questionnaire to measure levels of delay discounting. The study found that the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) of the left insula was positively correlated to delay discounting, and its connectivity to the anterior cingulate cortex was related to participants' behavioral performance.

Summary: This study investigated changes in thalamo-cortical and cortico-cortical connectivity during different sleep stages using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) recordings in humans. The results showed stronger connectivity between the thalamus and other brain regions during N2 and REM sleep compared to N3 sleep, while N3 sleep exhibited stronger cortico-cortical connectivity. The thalamus played a driving role in thalamo-insular connectivity during REM sleep.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether the number of adolescent victimization types can predict adolescent psychopathology and problematic substance use, and to explore whether adolescent victimization mediates the association between maltreatment and these outcomes. The results showed that adolescent victimization has an independent impact on adolescent psychopathology and problematic substance use, beyond the influence of child maltreatment.

Summary: This study found significant differences in functional connectivity between insular subregions and other brain regions in SD patients compared to NSD patients, which may be related to cognitive impairment in SD patients. Additionally, there were no significant differences in functional connectivity between bilateral posterior insula and any brain regions among the SD, NSD, and HC groups.

Summary: This study investigates the association between cognitive reappraisal and panic disorder (PD), and finds that PD patients have weakened functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the amygdala, which is associated with the severity of PD symptoms. Additionally, cognitive reappraisal is negatively correlated with PD severity, and the PFC-amygdala functional connectivity plays a mediating role in this association.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the pathophysiology of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in children using insula-centered resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC). The results showed abnormal rsFC between the insula and the medial prefrontal cortex in children with PNE, suggesting involvement of the salience network (SN)-default mode network (DMN) dysconnectivity in PNE. The correlation between bladder volume and dysconnectivity of the SN-DMN requires further investigation.

Summary: The study found associations between peripheral inflammation and adolescent brain connectivity, with higher TNF-α levels linked to changes in neural network connections. Associations with IL-6 and CRP were not significant, suggesting that inflammation may have unique effects on brain connectivity during adolescence.

Summary: The study explored the functional connectivity between insular subregions and other brain areas in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its relationship with clinical symptoms. The results showed that OSA patients exhibited abnormal functional connectivity in the insular subregions, which were related to cognitive, emotional, and sensorimotor networks. These findings provide a new imaging perspective for understanding OSA-related cognitive and affective disorders.

Summary: Family history of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a strong predictor of MDD onset in early adolescence. Negative wDMN rsFC is associated with current depression in children and current depressive symptoms in parents. Familial risk for depression interacts with wDMN rsFC in association with past MDD diagnosis in children and current depressive symptoms in parents.

Summary: Problematic internet use (PIU) is more prevalent in young adult populations than other adult age groups. It is associated with mental health disorders, psychological distress, and substance misuse behaviors in college students. This study found significant associations between PIU and various substance misuse behaviors, highlighting the need to address PIU in prevention and intervention efforts to reduce addictive behaviors in US college settings.

Summary: This study examines the association between personality dimensions and brain functional connectivity in adolescents, specifically focusing on extraversion and agreeableness. The results reveal sex-specific neural connectivity patterns associated with these personality dimensions and suggest that intrinsic functional connectivity contributes to individual differences in extraversion and agreeableness in adolescents.

Summary: The study found that childhood maltreatment is associated with altered neurodevelopmental trajectories and mental health issues during adolescence. Abuse and neglect are both related to increased within-network functional connectivity from age 16 to 19. There are also sex differences in the association between neglect and changes in within-network connectivity. Furthermore, the increased within-network connectivity mediates the association between abuse/neglect and lower problematic substance use and higher depressive symptoms at age 19.

Summary: This Australian qualitative study explores the impact of service delivery on treatment-seeking for alcohol and other drug use. The study finds that long wait times and poor assessment processes are barriers to treatment-seeking within specialist services, while organizational expectations, separate perception of alcohol and other drugs, and limited opportunities for informal engagement are barriers within broader health-care services.

Summary: The aim of this study was to estimate the negative predictive value (NPV) of self-reported non-use of methamphetamine compared with an oral fluid reference standard for treatment of methamphetamine dependence. The findings suggest that self-report of no recent methamphetamine use is sufficiently accurate to be clinically useful in treatment settings.

Summary: This study examines Australian research evaluating the effectiveness of integrated treatment approaches for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The findings show that there is considerable evidence supporting the effectiveness of integrated approaches, particularly for high prevalence disorders or symptoms like anxiety and depression. However, more research is needed on the effectiveness of specific models or systems of integrated care.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether the risk of psychotic symptoms during methamphetamine use was dependent on, increased by, or independent of having a family history of psychosis. The findings showed that both methamphetamine use and family history of psychosis were independently associated with psychotic symptoms in the past week, and the joint risk was even larger when they occurred together. There was no significant interaction between family history of psychosis and methamphetamine use in predicting psychotic symptoms, but family history of psychosis was an independent risk factor for the absolute risk of psychotic symptoms in this population.

This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
