Postdoc at @Cambridge_Uni | social interactions, adolescence, theory of mind, aggression, & neuroimaging (fMRI, hyperscanning) 🧠
📣 Systematic review on the neural correlates of hostile attribution bias ‼️ doi.org/10.1016/j.avb.… 🧵

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)
Really excited to start my postdoc in @sjblakemore's lab at @Cambridge_Uni 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 🧠

PhD studentship available in developmental cognitive neuroscience, in Cambridge - please publicise
Funded PhD opportunity with @sjblakemore and I, at Cambridge. We are looking for someone interested in developmental science, to start in the coming academic year. Please share it with anyone you think might be interested (see details attached 😁). drive.google.com/file/d/1RIvgoU…
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

This mesmerizing animation reveals the intricate dance of neural activity in your parietal cortex, thalamus, and visual cortex. Without these structures, your scrolling would come to an abrupt end! #brain #humanbrain #sciart #science #neuro #neuroscience #braincircuit
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…
📢 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…
It was a great pleasure to visit the beatiful city of Aachen to give this talk at the @RWTH within the framework of the #IRTG 2150. Thank you so much for the invitation and a special thanks to @luciahp96 for being the perfect host 🥰 @Underisk2
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_Inc and its supplemental CARES module have been a labor of love.
A new theoretical paper from the EDEN Lab (@emilyrperkins), written w/ collaborators both near (@DrexelUniv) & far (@UniofOxford @RWTH), considers the role, promise, & possible consequences of biology in advancing parent interventions for child aggression doi.org/10.1016/j.avb.…
