Together, they provide a rare glimpse into the future – visionary statements of men and women who are leaders in their respective specialties. Their assessments of where we are and where we are headed are comprehensive in scope. There is universal acknowledgement of how far brain and behavior research has come since the Foundation’s inception, and excitement about recent technological advances that have made possible experiments that would have seemed like science fiction 30 years ago. However, there is recognition of how much remains to be learned about the brain’s workings. The significant impact of the Foundation is only possible through the collaboration between scientists and our generous donors, who understand that investing in brain and behavior research will continue to bring better treatment and ultimately cures and methods of prevention. We are deeply appreciative of this collaboration. Jeffrey Borenstein, M.D. President & CEO 4 The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Outstanding Achievement Prizes These top prizes in psychiatric and neuroscience research recognize leading scientists for their innovation and productivity, and for achieving breakthrough discoveries that are bringing us closer to our goal of conquering mental illness. These prizes not only recognize and award extraordinary leadership in key fields of psychiatric research; they provide models of accomplishment for younger scientists involved in brain and behavior studies. The Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners are dedicated teachers and scientists who represent models of accomplishment for younger scientists in brain and behavior research. Lieber Prize for Schizophrenia Research Established in 1987 by Constance E. Lieber, Foundation President Emerita, and her husband, Stephen A. Lieber, Chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, to bring public recognition to the outstanding discoveries being made in schizophrenia research. Colvin Prize for Mood Disorders Research Established in 1993, this prize was formerly known under the successive titles of the Selo Prize, Falcone Prize and Bipolar Mood Disorder Prize. The prize was renamed in 2012 in honor of the late Oliver D. Colvin, Jr., a great benefactor of the Foundation who left the largest single contribution in the Foundation’s history. Ruane Prize for Childhood & Adolescent Psychiatric Research This prize was initiated in 2000 by philanthropists Joy and William Ruane to recog- nize important advances in understanding and treatment of early-onset brain and behavior disorders. Goldman-Rakic Prize for Cognitive Neuroscience This prize was created by Constance and Stephen Lieber in memory of Patricia Goldman-Rakic, Ph.D., a distinguished neuroscientist renowned for discoveries about the brain’s frontal lobe, after her tragic death in an automobile accident in 2003. Maltz Prize for Innovative & Promising Schizophrenia Research Established in 2005, the prize was renamed in 2016 in honor of Board Members Milton and Tamar Maltz. The Maltz Prize is given to an investigator who has under- taken innovative and promising research in schizophrenia.

Odgers, PhD; Richie Poulton, PhD; Sandhya Ramrakha, PhD; Terrie E. Moffitt, PhD; Andrea Danese, MD, PhD Supplemental content IMPORTANCE Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for health problems in a population. However, it is not known whether screening for ACEs can accurately identify individuals who develop later health problems. OBJECTIVE To test the predictive accuracy of ACE screening for later health problems. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This study comprised 2 birth cohorts: the Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study observed 2232 participants born during the period from 1994 to 1995 until they were aged 18 years (2012-2014); the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study observed 1037 participants born during the period from 1972 to 1973 until they were aged 45 years (2017-2019). Statistical analysis was performed from May 28, 2018, to July 29, 2020. EXPOSURES ACEs were measured prospectively in childhood through repeated interviews and observations in both cohorts. ACEs were also measured retrospectively in the Dunedin cohort through interviews at 38 years. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Health outcomes were assessed at 18 years in E-Risk and at 45 years in the Dunedin cohort. Mental health problems were assessed through clinical interviews using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Physical health problems were assessed through interviews, anthropometric measurements, and blood collection.

  • May 4 2020 Newsletter, Travel Plans Edition. Dear Grey
    1 | P a g e May 4 2020 newsletter, travel plans edition. Dear Grey House team and esteemed colleagues, 61 days into our team-building adventure. We’re way past the stages of “oh boy, working from home!”, “horrors, working from home!”, “stimulation through cooking”, “what’s in my backyard?”, and even the stage of “stay-at-home DIY projects”. I got the sense this week that many team members are feeling a little bit ground down, and quite tired. Levity is becoming a bit less spontaneous. In normal times, we’d say we need a vacation! Perhaps the reality is starting to sink in about our cancelled summer trips. This newsletter shares our photos of “If I could go somewhere, where would it be?” As you can see below, we are not alone. Everyone has put their aspirations for a trip on hold. In the USA, the chart below shows, online searches for hotels are down 60% for a 2021 arrival at long-distance international destinations, and down even 30% for hotels in the USA not far from home. That’s an improvement over the down-100% levels for this summer; nobody is anticipating kipping in a delightful hotel before September 2020. 2 | P a g e Meanwhile, I will share news now and then to keep us all on the same page, approximately weekly-ish. Here is the all the news I have that’s fit to print since 27 April: FIRST, THE HAPPY NEWS! Dr. Stephanie Langevin from Universite’ de Montreal has been awarded a two-year FRQSC postdoctoral fellowship to join our Grey House team in September! Exactly how Stephanie will join is yet to be worked out.

  • Death of Our Stepchild Or Our Partner's Child
    Death of our Stepchild or our Partner’s Child A nationwide organisation of bereaved parents and their families offering support after a child dies. Death of our Stepchild or our Partner’s Child The death of a child, no matter their age, causes heartbreak for their parents. This leaflet looks at some of the particular issues that may arise if the child who died was our partner’s biological child but not our own. For other aspects of coping with grief, grief within blended families, and supporting surviving children, please see the list of publications produced by The Compassionate Friends (TCF) at the end of this leaflet. Our grief We live in a society that produces many variations of families, and anyone may find themselves in an active or passive parenting role for those who are not their biological children. The blended family may come about following earlier bereavement, through single parenthood or after separation or divorce, and the stepchildren may live part- or full-time in the new family. We may or may not be one of the child’s legal parents. Even though we do not have a biological or perhaps legal connection, the death of a child within our family circle is still going to be a terrible event. We may recognise within ourselves any of the common grief reactions such as profound sadness, confusion, sleeplessness, lack of concentration, and more. Grief is not orderly or progressive: it pours in causing great emotional turmoil, and is unpredictable in its timing and intensity. It comes in waves and often feels overwhelming.

  • Stepchildren Adopted by Their Stepparents: Where Do They Fit?
    Stepchildren Adopted by their Stepparents: Where do they fit? Susan D. Stewart Department of Sociology 107 East Hall Iowa State University Ames, IA 50011 515-294-5912 [email protected] This research is supported by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, and the NSAF Small Research Grants Program funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. I thank Timothy Triplett of the Urban Institute for technical assistance with the NSAF. 1 ABSTRACT According to the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse (NAIC, 2006), stepchild adoption (i.e., stepchildren who are legally adopted by their stepparents), is the most common form of adoption in the United States. Very little is known about the circumstances under which stepchildren are adopted by their stepparents and how they fare relative to other children. This study draws upon the 2002 National Survey of America’s Families and investigates the sociodemographic characteristics and well-being of adopted stepchildren, defined as children residing in married couple households with one biological parent and one adopted parent. Adopted stepchildren are compared to children with two married biological parents, two married adoptive parents, and children with one married biological parent and one (non-adoptive) stepparent. Preliminary descriptive results indicate that about 1% of children in married, two-parent households has an adoptive stepparent. About 5% of children in stepfamilies has been adopted by a stepparent. Adopted stepchildren have an increased risk of negative outcomes in the area of behavior and emotional problems. Results indicating that adopted stepchildren are most similar to children with two adoptive parents as opposed to one biological parent and one stepparent suggest that researchers need to be cautious about treating adopted stepchildren as stepchildren in their research.

  • Grandparent-Grandchild Attachment As a Predictor of Psychological
    GRANDPARENT-GRANDCHILD ATTACHMENT AS A PREDICTOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT AMONG YOUTH FROM DIVORCED FAMILIES Craig Everett Henderson, M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2001 APPROVED: Bert Hayslip, Jr., Major Professor Kenneth W. Sewell, Committee Member Ke-Hai Yuan, Committee Member Carolyn Kern, Committee Member Ernest Harrell, Chair of the Department of Psychology C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Henderson, Craig Everett, Grandparent-Grandchild Attachment as a Predictor of Psychological Adjustment among Youth from Divorced Families. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), August 2001, 102 pp., 9 tables, 5 illustrations, references, 150 titles. The current study investigates grandparent attachment as a protective factor of the psychological adjustment of youth from divorced families. Participants consisted of 960 volunteer adolescents between the ages of 12 and 20 from both divorced and intact families. Participants completed questionnaires concerning their attachment to their grandparents, the influence their grandparents had in their lives, their interpersonal competence, their self-efficacy, and a psychological symptom checklist. Results indicated that when adjusting for the amount of contact between their mothers and maternal grandmothers, participants in junior high and high school from intact homes reported greater self-efficacy than participants in junior high and high school from divorced families. In addition structural equation modeling demonstrated that a model containing a direct effect from grandparent attachment to the participants’ reports of symptoms, interpersonal competence, and self-efficacy fit the data well for participants from both divorced and intact families. However, path coefficients were significantly higher for the participants from divorced families.
