Neurodevelopmental Inequality arising from Early Childhood Stunting: Evidences from Brain Connectivity
Early childhood stunting (ECS) affects millions of children globally and conjectured to result in suboptimal brain and cognitive development later in life. Charting out the trajectory of brain network development and most importantly how the compensation of function can be achieved gives windows of intervention to clinicians, educators and policy makers. In this study, advanced network neuroscience tools, graph theoretical methods applied on diffusion weighted MR-imaging (DWI) revealed the...
Maturation of Gait: Identification of Locomotor Profiles from Early Childhood to Adulthood
Background: Human gait is a key marker of motor development. While walking on even surface is well-documented, responses to irregular surfaces, closer to real-world environments, remain understudied. This limitation is reinforced by the frequent use of univariate analyses, though locomotor control emerges from interactions of multiple features.

Scientists reveal surprising brain benefit of laughter: 'It's a mental workout'
The old saying that laughter is the best medicine may be true, according to new research that suggests it is also a vital catalyst for children's development. Laughter and play are fundamental to healthy brain growth, emotional well-being and social bonding, according to Jacqueline Harding, Ph.D., an early childhood expert at Middlesex University in London. In her book, "The Brain That Loves to Laugh," Harding argues that joy is a complex biological phenomenon that helps children navigate...
Paul McCartney: The Boys of Dungeon Lane review – at 83, his gift for melody still astounds

The launch was further highlighted by premiering the first single on BBC Radio Merseyside.
A prognostic human brain network for diffuse midline glioma
Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are near-universally lethal tumours of the childhood central nervous system1,2. In animal models, DMGs form brain-wide integrated networks through neuron-to-glioma synapses3,4,5,6 and glioma-to-glioma gap junctional coupling3. This extensive connectivity robustly promotes the growth and invasion of DMG3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and other glial malignancies10,11,12 through paracrine mechanisms and direct neuron-to-glioma synapses.
Humble roots fuel Ecuador's World Cup hopes
Humble roots fuel Ecuador's World Cup hopes QUITO, June 1 : Dusty pitches tucked amid poverty and childhood dreams of wearing Ecuador's jersey shaped the early steps of several national team players who will now fulfil their ambition of representing their country at the World Cup. Jordy Caicedo, Joel Ordonez and Nilson Angulo are some of the players sharing similar back stories marked by hardship and perseverance. Caicedo, 28, grew up in a marginal and dangerous neighbourhood in the southern...
Parental cooperation with kindergarten is most important way to support preschoolers' academic skills, study finds
Parental cooperation with kindergarten is most important way to support preschoolers' academic skills, study finds Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Research into the academic skills of five-year-old children shows that parents' beliefs and cooperation with their kindergarten are more important than the abundance of parental activities at home in supporting the academic skills of five-year-old children. The study, conducted by Anne-Mai Meesak, Doctorate in Educational...
A critical role for the murine anterior insula in male social avoidance after early life maltreatment.
Maltreatment in children and adolescents poses a major public health crisis as a primary factor for the development of adult psychiatric disorders. However effective treatments for symptoms resulting from early life maltreatment are lacking, in part due to a lack of understanding of how neural circuits are disrupted in adulthood after childhood and adolescent abuse. We used a novel model of developmental maltreatment (early adolescent chronic social defeat stress, eaCSDS) in C57/B6J mice to...
