Early Crying, Sleeping, and Feeding Problems and Trajectories of Attention Problems From Childhood to Adulthood
Abstract
This study investigated if crying, sleeping or feeding problems that co‐occur (multiple regulatory problems [RPs]) or are persistent predict attention problems and diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood and adulthood.

Sibling bullying at 12 years and high‐risk behavior in early adulthood: A prospective cohort study
Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that sibling aggression is associated with the development of high‐risk behavior. This study investigated the relationship between sibling bullying perpetration and victimization in early adolescence and high‐risk behavior in early adulthood.

Decreased BOLD Fluctuations in lateral temporal cortices
Abstract:
Lasting volume reductions in subcortical and temporal-insular cortices after premature birth suggest altered ongoing activity in these areas. We hypothesized altered fluctuations in ongoing neural excitability and activity, as measured by slowly fluctuating blood oxygenation of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), in premature born adults, with altered fluctuations being linked with underlying brain volume reductions.

A trajectories of behavior, attention, social and emotional problems from childhood to early adulthood following extremely preterm birth: a prospective cohort study
Abstract
To investigate trajectories of behavior, attention, social and emotional problems to early adulthood in extremely preterm survivors compared to a term-born comparison group. Longitudinal analysis of a prospective, population-based cohort of 315 surviving infants born < 26 completed weeks of gestation recruited at birth in 1995, from the UK/Republic of Ireland, and a term-born comparison group recruited at age 6. The parent-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was completed at age 6, 11, 16 and 19 years.

Infant Regulatory Problems, Parenting Quality & Childhood Attention Problems
Highlights
• This study adds to evidence that early regulatory problems may mark the starting point of a trajectory of dysregulation,
• Poor parenting quality may further exacerbate poor regulation, leading to later childhood attention problems.
• The positive effect of good parenting quality on attention problems is reduced when mothers cope with mental health problems.
