First tweet! Pleased to share the newest paper of my PhD work just published on molecularpsychiatry. It's on sex- and age-dependent stress vulnerability in the midbrain dopamine neurons. nature.com/articles/s4138… rdcu.be/cXpHz

New findings draw on brain imaging data from nearly 5000 children to reveal that gender and sex aren’t just distinct from one another in society—they also play unique roles in biology. scim.ag/7H4

'Longitudinal variation in resilient psychosocial functioning is associated with ongoing cortical myelination and functional reorganization during adolescence' rdcu.be/dPjsh by Meike Hettwer et al.🥳

A thoughtful piece from Lucinda Sisk and Dylan Gee on the importance of understanding relationships between youth adversity exposure and sensitive period developmental timing

yayay it’s alive and out in the world! this project was so so fun to work on and i think it’ll be exciting for a pretty broad audience, so let me share some of the highlights with you ☺️ 🧵1/7?

Quick thread on our JAMA psych paper: multiple studies, often in large samples, report either positive or negative associations between cognition and mental health. What do you notice about the effect in this gif, where quartiles of mental health symptoms are separately plotted?

And a quick shameless self-endorsement: I’m on the job market this year! More info here: adpines.github.io/site/. More brain-centric work coming out soon.

Curious about human brain development through an animal model? 🧠🐒Check out our new preprint on Brain Charts of the Rhesus Macaque Lifespan! We've mapped normative trajectories for macaque brains using 1.5k MRI scans from PRIME-DE and collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

During moderate tonic locus coeruleus activation in mice, noradrenaline release engages cortical regions related to associative processing, while burst-like stimulation biases the brain toward sensory processing nature.com/articles/s4159…

5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in Nature Neuroscience! nature.com/articles/s4159…
