Very proud of our latest pre-print, looking at @ParentalBrain function in a whopping >35,000 females and males. We show potentially protective effects of parity (number of children parented) on age-related brain function for BOTH females and males! 💪🧠

Mandag 6. mai forsvarer @irenevoldsbekk sin avhandling ved @Psykologiskinst. "Traces of psychopathology in the developing brain: Using brain covariance to disentangle similarities and differences between mental disorders in childhood and adolescence" sv.uio.no/psi/forskning/…
Out now in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience 🙃 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
New preprint🚨 We examined the links between parents’ mental health and youth’s functional emotion regulation networks and their longitudinal connection to youth psychopathology. osf.io/preprints/psya…
First PhD paper🎉Stringent Covid-19 measures and quarantines were associated with more mental distress among adolescents. Younger adolescents, those with lower educated parents and those with lower MDD PGS were especially vulnerable jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
Out now in Translational Psychiatry!🎉 nature.com/articles/s4139… and summarized in this poster🙃
New preprint🚨“The role of functional emotion circuits in distinct dimensions of psychopathology in youth” is out now! psyarxiv.com/7kxa2/ A huge thank you to all the amazing co-authors!🧠🧵

✨Happy to share our recent publication in Neurology: Genetics! 🧬We found epilepsies to be more polygenic than cortical morphology. We also identified 32 distinct loci shared between epilepsies and cortical morphology despite absent genetic correlations. neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX…
New preprint from the lab by @NaseriNasimeh with data from @CO90s on gray/white matter contrast in young adults at genetic risk for psychosis - medrxiv.org/content/10.110… - @PromentaC @Psykologiskinst @MJalbrzikowski @_DaniBeck @eiraaksnes1 @liafersch
7. juni forsvarer Thea Wiker sin avhandling for graden Ph.D ved @Psykologiskinst: "Elucidating the co-development of cognitive control and mental health problems in the adolescent brain." sv.uio.no/psi/forskning/…
Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis and became Dr. Voldsbekk. What a magnificent day! Thank you to the committee Ellen Greimel, @adrienne_romer & @SFruhholz for interesting discussions & to everyone else who came to share the day with me. #PhDone

Very proud to say our Registered Report supporting a causal relationship between age at menarche and adolescent depression is now published in @BMCMedicine. Link: shorturl.at/dFKTY. This was a big team effort spanning the duration of my PhD! A🧵on the process and findings:
Check out this roadmap to advance the neuroscience of human pregnancy! 🤰🏻Great work by eminent women’s health researchers incl. my favourite @AnnMariedeLange! 😁 Am I biased - yes! 😄
Now that the study of women's 🧠 health is gaining momentum💥, I could not miss the opportunity to present a roadmap to✨advance the neuroscience of human pregnancy ✨@susanna_carmona @emilyjacobs @AnnMariedeLange & I wrote this Comment for @NatureNeuro🧵 nature.com/articles/s4159…
Massive congratulations Dr @runeboen for an amazing defence yesterday🥳 #PhDone
New Paper 🚨 In this commentary @NatMentHealth, we present our recently launched @enigmabrains Neuroendocrinology Working Group, which aims to address knowledge gaps about the role of sex hormones on the brain by adopting a lifespan approach. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4422…
With @danilobzdok, we leveraged rare genetic mutations (#CNVs) to revisit structural brain #asymmetry. Planum temporale emerged as especially susceptible to deletions & duplications of specific gene sets. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Today, I’m proud to say, our new paper on assortative mating was published in @NatureComms. (Link: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…). Here are our key findings 🧵:

Now published in HBM🥳 doi.org/10.1002/hbm.26…
PhD paper 3 preprint! We find that although diagnosis-derived RSFC patterns replicate from a developmental clinical US sample to a convenience sample of Norwegian youth, their utility is greatly limited due to their lack of sensitivity to symptom burden. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
