Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Two developmental courses through which alcohol use disorder (AUD) may emerge include externalizing and internalizing pathways. We review recent neuroimaging studies of potential neural risk factors for AUD and link findings to potential behavioral risk factors for AUD.
Recent Findings: There is evidence that early-emerging weakness in prefrontal functioning and later-emerging differences in reward-system functioning contribute to an externalizing risk pathway. Stress may be an important contributor in the internalizing pathway through a blunting of reward-related activation, which may act alone or in combination with heightened emotion-related reactivity.
Summary: This review highlights areas for future work, including investigation of the relative balance between prefrontal and subcortical circuitry, attention to stages of AUD, and consideration of environmental factors such as stress and sleep. Particularly important is longitudinal work to understand the temporal ordering of associations among brain maturation, behavioral risk, and alcohol use.

Introduction: Research has found a correlation between screen exposure in early childhood and children's socio-emotional development, particularly in Global North countries. However, the direction of the effect has not been extensively studied in early childhood, especially in Global South contexts. This study aims to describe the relationship and the bidirectional longitudinal associations between screen exposure and children's internalizing and externalizing problems among children in Chile.

Negative consequences of gambling problems have primarily been examined in terms of symptoms and impairment, with less focus on well-being, a key indicator of intra- and interpersonal functioning and a critical outcome in treatment. Additionally, the role of co-occurring psychopathology in this relation remains unclear. This study examined the relation between gambling problems and well-being in a large population-based sample of individuals who gamble (N = 1005; 52.

Purpose: To study the association between internalizing and externalizing symptoms and prosocial behavior at age 7 years and pubertal timing in boys and girls.
Methods: This cohort study included 11,090 children from the Puberty Cohort within the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC). Data on internalizing and externalizing symptoms and prosocial behavior was derived from a parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at age 7 years, and categorized as normal (lowest 79th percent), at-risk (80th - 89th percent) or abnormal (≥90th percent).
