A new theoretical paper from the EDEN Lab (Emily Perkins), written w/ collaborators both near (Drexel University) & far (University of Oxford RWTH Aachen), considers the role, promise, & possible consequences of biology in advancing parent interventions for child aggression doi.org/10.1016/j.avb.…

Two fancy ways to look at the brain 😋

After 14 years of R&D, these manuals for treating children with limited prosocial emotions are now publicly available: PCIT-CU manual: tinyurl.com/pcitcu CARES: tinyurl.com/caresforcu This adaptation of PCIT - Parent Child Interaction Therapy and its supplemental CARES module have been a labor of love.

It was a great pleasure to visit the beatiful city of Aachen to give this talk at the RWTH Aachen within the framework of the #IRTG 2150. Thank you so much for the invitation and a special thanks to Lucia Hernandez Pena for being the perfect host 🥰 Underisk

📢 It's published!!! We (28 scientists) propose 4 Ways to increase Effect Sizes (not only Sample Size) to enhance the Replicability of Neuroimaging Research on Individual Differences. 🧠 >> check this out: doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a…

Very curious to learn more about the real story of the famous Phineas Gage and how the myth of him becoming a 'sociopath' after his accident seems to have been debunked ⬇️ slate.com/technology/201…

Two neurons from a ganglion, one "stained" with green fluorescent protein, one not! Neuroscientists can label individual neurons with fluorescent proteins or dyes to be able to trace their locations and connections. #ganglion #brain #brainart #goldleaf #asianart #neuron

PhD studentship available in developmental cognitive neuroscience, in Cambridge - please publicise

Really excited to start my postdoc in Prof Sarah-Jayne Blakemore's lab at Cambridge University We will investigate microstructural brain developmental pathways in typically developing and neurodiverse adolescents, and how they are associated with mental health and socio-cognitive processing 🧠

Very pleased to welcome new postdoc Dr Lucia Hernandez Pena to our lab! Lucia will be working on our new longitudinal study on microstructure brain development and its relation to cognition and mental health in adolescence (with a large team of collabs at Cardiff and Donders)

Had an amazing experience in Dublin presenting my research at #Flux2025, connecting with colleagues and listening to inspiring talks, especially from my supervisor Prof Sarah-Jayne Blakemore

Applications now open for an international PhD program investigating child and adolescent health and wellbeing. This provides funding for 4 students to do PhDs in Australia and Singapore, starting Jan 2026 comms.mcri.edu.au/v/110977/10032…
