Excited to share our new review “Mapping interactions between adversity and neuroplasticity across development” in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social. We discuss how experience - particularly adversity - interacts with neuroplasticity during human development authors.elsevier.com/c/1mB5U4sIRv...

🚨 New preprint! 🧵 Brain regions 🧠 integrate information over different timescales ⏱️: short in sensorimotor cortex, long in association cortex. But do regions change their timescales when we engage in a task? And how does that flexibility develop? 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The ABCD Study at Yale is hiring a new post-baccalaureate research assistant! This is a great position to gain hands-on research experience in the field and to learn more about adolescent brain and behavioral development! 🧠 @theabcdstudy.bsky.social candlab.yale.edu/sites/defaul...

I’m happy to announce that I will be reviewing applications this cycle for Yale's Psychology PhD program (Clinical and Neuroscience areas) to join my lab when we move in 2027! psychology.yale.edu/people/brend...

Excited to share the lab's latest on leveraging what we're learning from developmental neuroscience about the role of parents in children's anxiety to optimize treatments for youth! Led by Elizabeth Kitt and now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

The CANDLab at Yale is hiring a new full-time research assistant! Excellent opportunity to gain post-bacc experience before applying to PhD programs in child and adolescent clinical psychology and neuroscience. 🧠 candlab.yale.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/YaleCANDLab_RA_2026.pdf

Happy #MatchDay! Thrilled to be heading to Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital for my clinical internship 🎉 #APPIC #APPICMatch

Thrilled to have matched at Western Psychiatric Hospital for my clinical psychology internship 🎉 I am so grateful for all the support I have had throughout this journey! #APPIC

🎉 PINE Lab is hiring a postbacc Research Coordinator! Projects include cohort studies examining brain mechanisms linking adversity to cognition/language & RCTs of early interventions on neurodevelopment. apply: forms.gle/Dyay39x2XEMn... more info: www.plasticityinneurodevelopmentlab.com/join-us

My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below

A Systematic Evaluation of the Performance of Multiple Brain Age Algorithms in Two Cohorts of Youth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Website: anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

#PenNLINC is recruiting a clinical coordinator / lab manager!!! Looking for someone who is good with both people + code, wants to learn to acquire + analyze imaging data. Alumni in this role have written 1st author papers + gone to top grad programs. Website: www.pennlinc.io Job: bit.ly/4ojvCir

Happy to share our review "Investigating hierarchical critical periods in human neurodevelopment” in @npp-journal.bsky.social! We examine neurobiological, environmental & behavioral evidence for human critical periods in sensory and association cortex +discuss new research directions rdcu.be/eMkVU 🧵

🚨 Excited to share the latest preprint form the lab ➡️https://tinyurl.com/32d3be9f Here we tackle a long-standing chicken-or-egg 🐣🥚question in #autism and developmental neuroscience ➡️ Is excitation–inhibition (E:I) imbalance a "cause" or a "consequence" of #autism? Check out what we found! 🧵1/n

How do brain networks tracking past trauma react to stress in the future? Thrilled to share new work from the lab led by rockstar postdoc @felhardi.bsky.social with wonderful collab @dylanggee.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #psychscisky #neuroskyence

thrilled to share this project over a decade in the making out now in @pnas.org! We show that precocious GABA boosting in neonates by early sevoflurane/propofol anesthetic exposure accelerates visual cortical maturation in human infants www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠⚖️📉 How does the cortical excitation-inhibition ratio mature during adolescence? We asked this in our new paper just out in #ScienceAdvances ✨ “Adolescent maturation of cortical excitation-inhibition ratio based on individualized biophysical network modeling” 📄 www.science.org/doi/full/10.... 🧵⤵️

Excited to announce that our paper (led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Derek Smith) is out in @nathumbehav.nature.com go.illinois.edu/Lee2025_NHB We use 36 days of testing in 4 inhibitory control tasks to examine the precision of inhibitory control measures in *individuals* and how they vary 🧵👇

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are hiring a post-bacc research coordinator to help on projects exploring EEG and MRI measures of neuroplasticity supporting sensory and language learning in the first 2 years of life! Please repost to help us spread the word! more info here: www.plasticityinneurodevelopmentlab.com/join-us

🚨 HIRING 🚨 a Postdoctoal Associate in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience @kingsioppn.bsky.social. My group's research aims to understand how social and physical environments impact brain and behaviour development. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLX655/p... Accepting applications until the 15th of March!
