Neurophysiological sensitivity in early childhood: The aperiodic EEG slope moderates the association between maternal anxiety and child internalizing symptoms Open
Maternal internalizing (anxiety and depressive) symptoms are a robust risk factor for the development of internalizing symptoms in offspring, yet the neurobiological mechanisms that influence this association remain relatively unexplored. …

Temperament and Psychopathology: Time-varying associations from infancy to adolescence Open
Background Temperament traits, which reflect early emerging individual differences in reactivity and regulation, are well-established correlates of psychopathology. However, studies have historically examined static temperament-psychopatho…

Longitudinal Trajectories of Aperiodic <span>EEG</span> Activity in Early to Middle Childhood Open
Aperiodic electroencephalography (EEG) activity is hypothesized to index biological mechanisms that underpin brain functioning. This longitudinal study characterized the developmental trajectories of the aperiodic slope (i.e., aperiodic ex…

Characterising mental wellbeing and associations with subcortical grey matter volume at short intervals in early adolescence Open
This temporally rich, longitudinal study of early adolescents (N = 88, 277 datasets, 12-13 years) investigated the relationship between bilateral subcortical grey matter volume (GMV) in the hippocampus, amygdala, accumbens-area, caudate, p…

Stress timing, trauma exposure, and family resilience differentially affect internalizing and externalizing symptoms at 3, 5, and 7 years of age Open
Mental health disorders are associated with decreased quality of life, economic productivity loss, and increased mortality. The association between stressful experiences and psychopathology is well documented. However, studies are needed t…

Health enhancing behaviors in early adolescence: an investigation of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, mindfulness and social connectedness and their association with psychological distress and wellbeing Open
Introduction Nutrition, sleep and physical activity are termed the “big three” health enhancing behaviors (HEB) associated with psychological distress and wellbeing. This study sought to understand differential associations between an expa…

EEG frontal alpha asymmetry mediates the association between maternal and child internalizing symptoms in childhood Open
Background Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent in youth and can cause significant distress and functional impairment. The presence of maternal anxiety and depression are well-established risk factors for child internalizing psychop…

Longitudinal trajectories of aperiodic EEG activity in early to middle childhood Open
Background Emerging evidence suggests that aperiodic EEG activity may follow a nonlinear growth trajectory in childhood. However, existing studies are limited by small assessment windows and cross-sectional samples that are unable to fully…

Associations among EEG aperiodic slope, infant temperament, and maternal anxiety/depression symptoms in infancy Open
The aperiodic slope of the EEG power spectrum (characterized by a 1/fx distribution in which power decreases as frequency increases) is hypothesized to index the excitatory-inhibitory balance and has been associated with various neurodevel…

Sex differences in fronto‐limbic white matter tracts in youth with mood disorders Open
Aims Patients with depression and bipolar disorder have previously been shown to have impaired white matter (WM) integrity compared with healthy controls. This study aimed to investigate potential sex differences that may provide further i…

A longitudinal study of functional connectome uniqueness and its association with psychological distress in adolescence Open
Each human brain has a unique functional synchronisation pattern (functional connectome) analogous to a fingerprint that underpins brain functions and related behaviours. Here we examine functional connectome (whole-brain and 13 networks) …

EEG-based clusters differentiate psychological distress, sleep quality and cognitive function in adolescents Open
1 Abstract Introduction To better understand the relationships between brain activity, cognitive function and mental health risk in adolescence there is value in identifying data-driven subgroups based on measurements of brain activity and…
