Longitudinal sex-at-birth and age analyses of cortical structure in the ABCD Study

This study analyzes longitudinal cortical structure changes in adolescents by sex-at-birth, showing covariate choices affect interpretations of neuroanatomical development and that cortical thickness changes relative to surface area are comparable across sexes but occur at slightly older ages in males.

Longitudinal mapping of cortical change during early adolescence associated with prenatal tobacco and/or alcohol exposure in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study

This study examines how prenatal tobacco and alcohol exposure affects cortical structure and development in early adolescence using longitudinal data from the ABCD Study.

Relating neighborhood deprivation to childhood obesity in the ABCD Study(R): evidence for theories of neuroinflammation and neuronal stress

The paper examines how neighborhood deprivation relates to childhood obesity and brain structure, supporting neuroinflammation and neuronal stress theories.

Longitudinal assessment of brain structure and behavior in youth with rapid weight gain: Potential contributing causes and consequences

This study examines how rapid weight gain in youth affects brain structure and impulsivity, finding associations with specific brain regions and suggesting interventions targeting inhibitory control.
