Article Abstract

The NIH Toolbox is used extensively in various research settings, including clinical trials, observational studies, and longitudinal studies. Its validity and reliability have been systematically appraised only in adults. The current study systematically evaluated the validity and reliability of the NIH Toolbox for assessing neurocognitive, motor and emotional-behavioral functioning in children. Based on 22 studies including over 60,000 participants, sufficient evidence was found for the validity and reliability of most tests in the Cognition Battery and Motor Battery. However, there was insufficient evidence to assess the validity and reliability of the Emotion Battery. Thus, this review supports the use of the NIH Toolbox Cognition and Motor Batteries in assessing neurocognitive functioning in 3-17-year-olds.

Objectives: To examine associations between low cognitive-performance and regional-and network-level brain changes at ages 9-10 in very-preterm, moderately-preterm, and full-term children, and explore whether these alterations predict ASD/ADHD symptoms at age 12.

Methods: This longitudinal population-based study included 9-10-year-old U.S.

Study Objectives: Research linking children's sleep to cognitive outcomes is inconsistent and has largely focused on one aspect of sleep, such as duration, rather than measuring multiple dimensions of sleep health. We hypothesized that children's sleep health would be positively associated with inhibitory control and cognitive functioning.

Method: We cross-sectionally assessed 1595 participants (ages 7-11) from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort using the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery, Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Sleep Health of Children and Adolescents questionnaire, and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance/Sleep-related Impairment instruments.

Background: Cognitive impairment is common in multiple sclerosis (MS) and affects daily functioning. Compensatory cognitive strategies can help mitigate these challenges, but their naturalistic use and predictors remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the frequency and types of strategies used and to determine whether demographics, objective cognitive function, or perceived cognitive function are independently associated with the use of compensatory strategies.

Mood disorders (MDs) such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder are associated with significant functional impairments, particularly in cognition, which can adversely affect daily functioning and social interactions. This study aims to predict cognitive functioning prospectively in individuals with MDs using passive data from smartphone typing dynamics. Over a period of approximately 28 days, participants ( = 127) utilized the BiAffect keyboard, which captured typing metadata such as keystroke timestamps and accelerometer data during typing sessions, while also undergoing in-lab neuropsychological assessments twice (at least 14 days apart).

Basement membranes (BMs) underlie or surround most tissues. They are formed of secreted proteins that associate with cell surfaces and are the most ancient animal extracellular matrix. Laminin and collagen IV are core components that polymerize into self-associating networks, providing BMs with an organizing scaffold and tensile strength.
