🚨 Just published in #JNeurosci! 🚨 The Saez Lab explores how both local & widespread human brain activity contribute to risk vs. reward decision-making. 🧠 ⚖️ Check out out our findings: jneurosci.org/content/early/… Special thanks to @SinaiBrain and @SfNJournals!

NEW STUDY by @YuHannahHao1 @xiaosigu et al. reveals that heightened self-awareness of #Autism symptoms & lower satisfaction w/ social interactions, not observable social impairments, may drive #Depression in autistic adults.

Super excited to share this finding that just came out today in @NatMentHealth led by the @_SarahBanker, where we show important phenotypic divergence between online subjects who self reported high autism traits and those formally diagnosed by clinicians. @SinaiCCP @SinaiBrain

OUT NOW in @NatMentHealth by @_SarahBanker @xiaosigu, Jen Foss-Feig & Daniela Schiller! Findings show that, while self-reported symptoms are important for understanding subjective experiences, they may not be effective diagnostic shortcuts for #autism. 👉nature.com/articles/s4422…
