Our take on arousal regulation in autism spectrum condition that indicates altered activity of the Locus Coeruleus Norepinephrine System (but not in ADHD): doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsc… #Autism #researchpaper #ADHD

Very recent paper on the interrelation of genes and cortical thickness in autism #AIMS2TRIALS #AutismResearch: doi.org/10.1176/appi.a…

Being honored to be selected as one of the top 15 reviewers for JCPP in line with such distinguished colleagues: acamh.org/blog/top-revie… #ACAMH

Great to see that our theoretical model (Bast et al., 2018) of different arousal modulation in #Autism gains traction: jneurosci.org/content/early/… #researchpaper

A new paper by our group on the different arousal modulation of memory formation in autistic adults: doi.org/10.1002/aur.27… #Autism #researchpaper

A new rise for psychotherapy outcome research on psychodelics? ... an impressive RCT on the effects of Psilocybin (+ Psychotherapy) on drinking reduction in alcohol use disorder: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

New pupillometry study by our group that shows different reactivity to social and geometric motion in toddlers on the autism spectrum: doi.org/10.1002/aur.28…

Another interesting finding on locus-coeruleus functioning in autistic children by Brandon's lab - cumulating evidence on increased tonic and different phasic activity. This is worth to exploring further... doi.org/10.1002/aur.28…

I am honored again (after 2021) to be named TOP-15 reviewer of the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry - in a list with so distinguished researchers: acamh.org/blog/peer-revi…

My personal figure of the year 2022 for therapy outcome research. Moderate physical activity is able to prevent depression - ja.ma/3vuMppx

We just showed that different social attention in autism might be explained by altered processing of Sensory salience: Springer Nature International Society for Autism Research, INSAR AIMS-2-TRIALS Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Highly relevant to the pupillometry science: Pupil responses have many soruces, a new model is proposed that may allow to dissociate cognitive versus arousal origins of task-evoked responses - Exciting! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A news piece on our paper on sensory salience processing: aims-2-trials.eu/2023/04/20/aut…

Very honored to be invited and present our pupillometry work at the @cbcUPF. I also got a glimpse at their innovative behavioral/neuroscience lab spaces 👍 ... Special thanks to Lena Matyjek for your kind hospitality and best Paella ever!

Wow 🥳...1000 citations of our research! This encourages us to proceed further. Looking forward to the next 1000. scholar.google.de/citations?user…

Looking forward to inspiring research and interesting viewpoints at #INSAR2023 ... I should consider thinner glasses.

interesting set of tasks to assess social and non-social attention with eye-tracking in toddlers: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
