Over the past 2 decades, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and pediatric suicidal behavior. Based upon the evolutionary perspectives of Nassim Taleb and educator Joseph C. Pearce, discussed are three identified behavioral risk factors that may contribute to activate, maintain, and increase the prevalence and severity of these disorders. These include the reduction of infant and caretaker bonding, increase in screen time, and disruption of circadian rhythms. Prevention strategies are suggested to reduce the risk factors
在过去的20年里,自闭症、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)、焦虑、抑郁和儿童自杀行为的患病率显著增加。基于Nassim Taleb和教育家Joseph C. Pearce的进化观点,本文讨论了三种已确定的行为风险因素,它们可能有助于激活、维持和增加这些疾病的患病率和严重程度。其中包括婴儿和看护人之间的联系减少,屏幕时间增加,昼夜节律中断。建议采取预防策略以减少危险因素

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for 80–90% of all TBI. Post-mTBI symptoms are measured using the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS); however, symptom heterogeneity limits specificity. Better understanding of the neuropathophysiology underlying post-concussion symptoms could enhance diagnostic accuracy. We explored the association between network connectivity, PCSS and neuropsychological functioning within 7 days post-mTBI. We hypothesized that network dysregulation would (a) correlate positively with PCSS scores and (b) correlate negatively with cognitive performance; and that (c) cognitive performance would correlate negatively with PCSS scores. Network activity was measured in 19 participants aged 21 to 65, following a medically diagnosed mTBI. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) measured default mode, salience, and frontoparietal networks, while cognition was measured via neuropsychological assessment. Hypothesis (a) was not supported. Of the cognitive domains, support was only found for an association between network dysfunction and immediate memory. There was no association between neuropsychological performance and PCSS scores. PCSS scores were not a sensitive indicator of neuropsychological status and did not reflect the status of underlying brain network regulation. This study provides preliminary evidence for immediate memory as an indicator of altered network connectivity in acute mTBI. Evaluating neurophysiological and cognitive impacts of mTBI may improve understanding of individual recovery needs.

The present study aimed at investigating the association between short-term heart rate variability and executive function performance in two groups of the adult population, that is, young adults and middle-aged adults. The influence of physical activity on heart rate variability and executive performance was also analyzed. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 143 adults; 65 middle-aged adults and 78 young adults. Each participant’s heart rate variability was recorded during the ideal state, during the executive function task and recovery state. The executive function tests included the Delayed Matching of Sample (DMS), Spatial Working Memory (SWM) and Multitasking Test (MTT) on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB). Physical activity levels were reported through IPAQ. Results revealed resting HRV indicator, RMSSD was able to predict correct scores in DMS, error rates in SWM, and reaction latencies in MTT in the adult population, and adults with high HRV performed better in the tests. Middle-aged adults demonstrated high sympathetic activity at rest, and reactivity of HRV was seen maximum during the MTT task. Young adults showed higher sympathetic activation to imposed demands of multitasking. Physical activity was able to predict executive scores and resting HRV. HRV was found to be associated with executive function performance in the adult population.
