It is characterized by high levels of risk-taking behavior, such as increased alcohol consumption, and is accompanied by various neurobiological changes. Recent studies in animals and humans have revealed that the pubertal stage at first drink (PSFD) significantly impacts drinking behavior in adulthood. Moreover, neuronal alterations of the dopaminergic reward system have been associated with alcohol abuse or addiction. This study aimed to clarify the impact of PSFD on neuronal characteristics of reward processing linked to alcohol-related problems. One hundred sixty-eight healthy young adults from a prospective study covering 25 years participated in a monetary incentive delay task measured with simultaneous EEG-fMRI. PSFD was determined according to the age at menarche or Tanner stage of pubertal development, respectively. Alcohol-related problems in early adulthood were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). During reward anticipation, decreased fMRI activation of the frontal cortex and increased preparatory EEG activity (contingent negative variation) occurred with pubertal compared to postpubertal first alcohol intake. Moreover, alcohol-related problems during early adulthood were increased in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners, which was mediated by neuronal activation of the right medial frontal gyrus. At reward delivery, increased fMRI activation of the left caudate and higher feedback-related EEG negativity were detected in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners. Together with animal findings, these results implicate PSFD as a potential modulator of psychopathology, involving altered reward anticipation.

Here, we tested for their association with ADHD diagnosis and ADHD-related phenotypes during development in a longitudinal German community sample. Children were followed from age 4 to age 15, using diagnostic interviews to assess ADHD. Between the ages of 8 and 15 years, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was administered to the primary caregivers. The continuous performance task (CPT) was performed at age 15. Controlling for possible confounders, we found that homozygous carriers of the major A allele of the functional promoter variant rs28386840 displayed a higher rate of ADHD lifetime diagnosis. Moreover, homozygous carriers of the minor T allele of rs3785157 were more likely to develop ADHD and showed higher scores on the CBCL externalizing behavior scales. Additionally, we found that individuals heterozygous for rs3785157 made fewer omission errors in the CPT than homozygotes.

Exposure to severe negative life events is related to both heavy drinking and disturbed circadian rhythmicity. The aim of this study was 1) to extend previous findings suggesting an association of a haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphism of PER2 gene with drinking patterns, and 2) to examine a possible role for an interaction of this gene with life stress in hazardous drinking. Methods: Data were collected as part of an epidemiological cohort study on the outcome of early risk factors followed since birth. At age 19 years, 268 young adults (126 males, 142 females) were genotyped for PER2 rs56013859 and were administered a 45-day alcohol timeline follow-back interview and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Life stress was assessed as the number of severe negative life events during the past four years reported in a questionnaire and validated by interview. Results: Individuals with the minor G allele of rs56013859 were found to be less engaged in alcohol use, drinking at only 72\% of the days compared to homozygotes for the major A allele. Moreover, among regular drinkers, a gene x environment interaction emerged (p = .020). While no effects of genotype appeared under conditions of low stress, carriers of the G allele exhibited less hazardous drinking than those homozygous for the A allele when exposed to high stress. Conclusions: These findings may suggest a role of the circadian rhythm gene PER2 in both the drinking patterns of young adults and in moderating the impact of severe life stress on hazardous drinking in experienced alcohol users. However, in light of the likely burden of multiple tests, the nature of the measures used and the nominal evidence of interaction, replication is needed before drawing firm conclusions.}, language = {en} } @article{WeindrichJennenSteinmetzLauchtetal.1998, author = {Weindrich, D. and Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine and Laucht, Manfred and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Schmidt, Martin H.}, title = {At risk for language disorders? : correlates and course of language disorders in preschool children born at risk}, issn = {0803-5253}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{LangeEsser2005, author = {Lange, Sabine and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auditiv-sprachliche St{\"o}rung der Informationsverarbeitung bei Lese-Rechtschreib-St{\"o}rung.}, isbn = {3-89967-220-8}, year = {2005}, language = {de} } @article{HirschbergerEsser2005, author = {Hirschberger, E. and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auditive selektive Aufmerksamkeit bei geriatrischen Patienten mit einem visuellen Neglect}, isbn = {3-89967-220-8}, year = {2005}, language = {de} } @article{PolowczykTrautmannVillalbaDinterJoergetal.2000, author = {Polowczyk, M. and Trautmann-Villalba, Patricia and Dinter-J{\"o}rg, Monika and Gerold, M. and Laucht, Manfred and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auff{\"a}llige Mutter-Kind-Interaktion im Vorschulalter bei Kindern mit hyperkinetischen und Sozialverhaltensauff{\"a}lligkeiten}, year = {2000}, language = {de} } @article{LangeEsser2008, author = {Lange, Sabine and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Ausbildung zum Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapeuten}, isbn = {978-3-13-126083-3}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @article{WyschkonKohnBallaschketal.2008, author = {Wyschkon, Anne and Kohn, Juliane and Ballaschk, Katja and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Basisdiagnostik Umschriebener Entwicklungsst{\"o}rungen im Grundschulalter (BUEGA)}, issn = {1864-6050}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @book{EsserWyschkon2002, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter and Wyschkon, Anne}, title = {Basisdiagnostik umschriebener Entwicklungsst{\"o}rungen im Vorschulalter : (BUEVA)}, publisher = {Beltz}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, pages = {84 S.}, year = {2002}, abstract = {Ziel der Vorschultestbatterie ist es, Teilleistungsst{\"o}rungen bereits vor Schulbeginn zu erkennen und damit einer fr{\"u}hzeitigen F{\"o}rderung zuzuf{\"u}hren.

Results indicated that individuals homozygous for both the BDNF Val and the 5-HTTLPR L allele showed significantly reduced BDNF levels following exposure to high adversity.

While the former group appeared to be most susceptible to depressive symptoms, the impact of early adversity was less pronounced in the latter group. This is the first preliminary evidence indicating that early-life adverse experiences may have lasting sequelae for plasma BDNF levels in humans, highlighting that the susceptibility to this effect is moderated by BDNF Val(66)Met and 5-HTTLPR genotype.}, language = {en} } @article{EsserDinterJoergSchmidtetal.1996, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter and Dinter-J{\"o}rg, Monika and Schmidt, Martin H. and Herrle, Johannes and Yantorno-Villalba, P. and Rose, Frauke and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Bedeutung der Blickvermeidung im S{\"a}uglingsalter f{\"u}r den Entwicklungsstand des Kindes mit zwei und viereinhalb Jahren}, year = {1996}, language = {de} } @article{EsserWyschkon2007, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter and Wyschkon, Anne}, title = {Bedeutung komorbider St{\"o}rung im Kindesalter f{\"u}r den Langzeitverlauf der ADHS}, isbn = {978-3-17-019081-8}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @article{SchmidtLayIhleetal.2001, author = {Schmidt, Martin H. and Lay, Barbara and Ihle, Wolfgang and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Bedeutung von Dunkelfelddelikten f{\"u}r episodische und fortgesetzte Delinquenz}, year = {2001}, language = {de} } @article{SteigleiderLauchtEsseretal.2002, author = {Steigleider, Petra and Laucht, Manfred and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Schmidt, Martin H.}, title = {Beeintr{\"a}chtigte kognitive und motorische Leistungen bei 8-j{\"a}hrigen Kindern mit sehr niedrigem Geburtsgewicht}, issn = {0084-5345}, year = {2002}, language = {de} } @article{HohmZohselSchmidtetal.2017, author = {Hohm, Erika and Zohsel, Katrin and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Brandeis, Daniel and Banaschewski, Tobias and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Beeintr{\"a}chtigter Start ins Leben}, series = {Kindheit und Entwicklung}, volume = {26}, journal = {Kindheit und Entwicklung}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {0942-5403}, doi = {10.1026/0942-5403/a000234}, pages = {210 -- 220}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Postpartale Depressionen sind h{\"a}ufige und schwerwiegende psychische Erkrankungen mit ung{\"u}nstigem Einfluss auf die kindliche Entwicklung.

The present investigation set out to extend this research using the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism as a genetic susceptibility factor. Moreover, the current study examined whether a potential G x E would be consistent with one of two models of geneenvironment interplay (genetic vulnerability vs. differential susceptibility). Methods: Data were collected as part of an ongoing epidemiological cohort study following the outcome of early risk factors from birth into adulthood. Two hundred and eighty-five participants (130 males, 155 females) were genotyped for the COMT Val(158) Met polymorphism and were administered an alcohol interview, providing measures of current frequency and amount of drinking at ages 15 and 19 years. Information on three dimensions of perceived parenting behavior was obtained from the 15-year-olds. Results: Adolescents homozygous for the Met allele showed higher drinking activity at age 19 years when their parents had engaged in less supervision or were less involved, while their drinking activity was reduced under conditions of favorable parenting. No such relationship was found in individuals carrying the Val allele. Conclusions: The present findings correspond with the pattern of results predicted by the differential susceptibility hypothesis, suggesting that environmental variation would have a greater impact in individuals carrying a genetic susceptibility such that, in this group, exposure to negative environmental conditions would result in more adverse outcomes and the experience of favorable conditions would lead to more positive outcomes.}, language = {en} } @article{KraheBondueHoeseetal.2015, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Bond{\"u}, Rebecca and H{\"o}se, Anna and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Child Aggression as a Source and a Consequence of Parenting Stress: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study}, series = {Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence}, volume = {25}, journal = {Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1050-8392}, doi = {10.1111/jora.12115}, pages = {328 -- 339}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This longitudinal study examined the links between child aggression and parenting stress over 4years.

Beyond their main effects, the interplay between these factors is of interest. For example, in an interactive model, a differential susceptibility of temperamental variants to parenting has been suggested. However, so far, the differential susceptibility hypothesis has mostly been studied with a focus on externalizing disorders. On the other hand, parenting may shape the child's temperament and vice versa in a transactional process. In a prospective, longitudinal at-risk sample (163 boys, 176 girls), we assessed emotional (easy-difficult) and regulative (self-control) temperament at ages 4.5, and 8 years, respectively, as well as parenting quality at age 4.5 years using the HOME inventory. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to investigate the prediction of depressive symptoms at age 11, measured by the Child Depression Inventory, including interaction terms between the temperament variable and parenting. We additionally tested whether parenting was mediated by child temperament. As previously reported, both self-control and parenting were longitudinally associated with preadolescent depressive symptoms. There were no interactive effects between temperament and parenting. However, the effects of parenting were partly mediated by self-control. Our data do not support a differential susceptibility of temperamental variants in the development of preadolescent depression. However, our results are in line with the assumption that parenting may shape young children's temperament, with positive parenting in the early childhood fostering the development of regulative temperament.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidHohmBlomeyeretal.2007, author = {Schmid, Brigitte and Hohm, Erika and Blomeyer, Dorothea and Zimmermann, Ulrich S. and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Laucht, Manfred}, title = {Concurrent alcohol and tobacco use during early adolescence characterizes a group at risk}, issn = {0735-0414}, doi = {10.1093/alcalc/agm024}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Aims: To investigate whether concurrent alcohol and tobacco use during early adolescence characterizes a subgroup that differs from users of one substance only regarding several risk factors for later substance use problems. Methods: Participants were from a prospective longitudinal cohort study of 384 children at risk for later psychopathology, with the majority being born with obstetric complications and psychosocial adversities. Assessments of adolescent drug consumption and related intrapersonal characteristics were obtained at age 15. Results: Compared to consumers of alcohol only, 15-year-olds drinking and smoking during the same time period (past 4 weeks) had significantly higher levels of consumption and more excessive use of alcohol, started drinking at an earlier age, had higher scores on the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, and more cannabis use. This group could be distinguished from users of alcohol only by higher novelty seeking and more positive alcohol effect expectancies. Compared to consumers of tobacco only, concurrent users reported higher nicotine dependence and more cannabis use. No significant differences were observed regarding frequency and age at initiation of tobacco use, tobacco-related sensitivity, self- efficacy and instrumentality as well as novelty seeking.
