Unbelievably grateful to start 2024 as a BBRFoundation Young Investigator Fellow. Thank you Dylan Gee, PhD and the CANDLab for their unwavering support, as well as Yale Psychiatry, Yale Child Study Center, and Yale Psychology for the world-renowned research infrastructure they provide!

A good visualization/reminder that the hippocampus is (3-layered) cortex (i.e. it's not a subcortical structure as commonly assumed by fMRI researchers)! 😎🤓

Chuffed to share my latest with Dr. Jennifer Silvers! Here we write a review of fMRI MVPA methods specifically tailored for developmental cognitive neuroscientists. A 🧵 on how this paper came to be and what's inside...

New paper looks at 11934 clinicians treating major depressive disorder working in different settings (psychiatry, oncology, obstetrics, primary care). Analyses show that settings impact on 1) what clinicians prescribe which impacts 2) treatment efficacy. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
