Out now in @BiologicalPsyc1, we find that neural sensitivity to social punishment, in combination with a 'real world' index of peer rejection, predicts future NSSI. Thanks to coauthors @SehJooKwon Nathan Jorgensen @ka_lindquist @EvaTelzer @mitchprinstein! https://t.co/d3DKnR5S3E

[Natasha Duell, Ph.D. @natashaduell]

An absolutely fantastic talk by the @DSNLab’s own Maria Maza on social media checking and brain development. So proud!! 👏🏼 #Flux2022 @FluxSociety

Finally, a scientifically accurate and comprehensive review of digital media and adolescent mental health!!

It's here, and totally FREE (thanks to a foundation donor)!!!

Announcing the release of a new podcast episode from Speaking of Psychology with guest speaker Dr. Eva Telzer!

Dr. Telzer speaks on the adolescent brain and its connection to several elements of risk-taking behaviors, including positive risk taking.

Check out a new longitudinal paper entitled “Self-oriented neural circuitry predicts other-oriented adaptive risks in adolescence: A longitudinal study” that was just accepted into SCAN! Authored by @SehJooKwon, Caitlin C. Turpyn, @mitchprinstein, @ka_lindquist, and @EvaTelzer!

Also, VS-TPJ/pSTS and VS-mPFC connectivity during adaptive risk taking for themselves differentially predicted that for their parents across time. This study contributes to our understanding of the self as a neural proxy for promoting social behaviors in youth.

Today we welcomed our two new DSN Lab and @CASL_UNC project coordinators @MariaSobrino_8 and @_courtneymedina, as well as our new DSN lab manager Alexa Cilia! 🎉
