Screen Time in Tweens Predicts ADHD, Slower Brain Growth

Researchers tracked children’s digital habits and brain development to uncover how screen time affects ADHD symptoms.

Heavy screen use predicted a meaningful rise in ADHD severity two years later, and MRI scans showed structural differences—including reduced cortical volume and altered development in attention-related regions.

These brain measures partially explained why high screen exposure was linked to more behavioral symptoms.

The results highlight the need for thoughtful limits around screen time during crucial developmental windows.

The American Academy of Pediatrics now advises against sleep training before 12 months. Research shows that forcing babies to sleep alone too early can disrupt attachment and the development of their nervous system. During the first year, babies need proximity to caregivers to feel safe and secure.

Sleeping in the parents’ room is more than convenience. It provides constant reassurance, allowing the infant’s nervous system to learn safety and stability. This closeness supports emotional regulation, stress management, and secure bonding, all of which are foundational for long-term mental and emotional health.

Babies who are left alone too soon may experience heightened stress responses, making it harder for them to self-soothe and regulate emotions later. Proximity during sleep wires the brain to understand that the world is predictable and safe.

Parents can implement safe room-sharing by keeping the crib or bassinet next to the bed, maintaining a firm sleep surface, and avoiding loose bedding. This setup allows babies to sleep safely while staying close enough to benefit from the calming presence of their caregivers.

Remember, proximity is not spoiling. It is a biological necessity that helps babies thrive. Safe closeness today builds confident, resilient children tomorrow.

BrainSTEM Atlas Maps Every Cell of the Developing Human Brain

A new single-cell brain atlas offers the clearest view yet of how the human brain develops.

By mapping almost every cell type and their genetic activity, researchers can now better understand how neurons mature and organize into complex brain regions.

The dataset highlights the precise origins of dopaminergic neurons—those lost in Parkinson’s—helping refine cell therapy models.

This powerful framework is designed to accelerate breakthroughs in regenerative medicine and neuroscience worldwide.

Born to Connect: Newborn Brain Already Wired for Social Awareness

Researchers have discovered that newborn brains are already equipped with an active social perception network responsible for processing faces, gaze, and speech.

This neural wiring appears within weeks after birth and predicts how infants will engage socially later in life.

Babies showing stronger early connectivity in this network pay more attention to faces and have fewer social challenges by 18 months.

The findings provide new insights into how early brain function shapes social development and may help identify markers for autism.
