«Given the solid epidemiologic evidence supporting a link between cannabis exposure
during adolescence and schizophrenia, we investigated whether the use of cannabis
during early adolescence (by 16 years of age) is associated with variations in brain maturation as a
function of genetic risk for schizophrenia,» said senior author Tomas Paus, MD, PhD, the Anne and Max Tanenbaum Professor and Chair in Population Neuroscience at Baycrest, University of Toronto, and the Dr. John and Consuela Phelan Scholar at Child Mind Institute, New York.
early low, accelerated growth, normal decline (new)-- those with low lung

The clear social gradient associated with children's vocabulary, emerging literacy, well - being and behaviour is evident from birth to school entry.1 These trajectories track into
adolescence and correspond to poorer educational attainment, income and health across the life course.2 — 10 Neuroimaging research extends the evidence for these suboptimal trajectories, showing that children raised in poverty from infancy are more likely to have delayed brain growth with smaller volumetric size of the regions particularly responsible for executive
functioning and language.11 This evidence supports the need for further effort to redress inequities that arise from the impact of adversity
during the potential developmental window of opportunity in
early childhood.
The current results suggest that protective parenting measured
during late childhood and
early adolescence may also exert an influence on genomic
functioning and health in young adults, and contributes to promising work on multiple fronts suggesting that various epigenetic mechanisms may be related to, and help account for, long - term effects of protective parenting on health.
Peer acceptance and status
During early adolescence, the
function and importance of the peer group change dramatically (Crockett, Losoff, & Petersen, 1984; Dornbusch, 1989).
The finding of residual depressive symptoms
during recovery has also been reported in adult MDD.44, 45 Longitudinal investigations of adults with residual depressive symptoms have shown
earlier recurrence and continued impairment in social
functioning in follow - up studies.46 - 48 The implications of this finding will be clarified as this preschool sample is observed into later childhood and
early adolescence.
The main purpose of Phase IV (seventh grade - ninth grade) is to investigate how
earlier functioning and experiences in concert with contextual and maturational factors in adolescenc, influence social relationships, health, adjustment, and intellectual and academic development
during middle
adolescence.
There are strong increases in this
function during early childhood followed by a more progressive development
during late childhood and
adolescence, as brain processes related to executive control become progressively more refined and efficient.
