Do self-compassionate people's brains show any difference from others' ones? We found that they tend to have smaller left DLPFC and it is primarily driven by less self-judgment/criticism. https://t.co/1ouPPNNDIW

@SeeyaStanley @PsychScience Congrats, Stanley!

Thanks also to @Sci_Mindfulness for sharing the story!

How does self-compassion protect depressed adolescents? Quieting the self may be the key! https://t.co/3NLVAIAkeE Thanks to training from @WIDiscovery, this is my first attempt to write a story of our scientific findings for the public. @healthyminds @UMN_Psychiatry @nazhang_phd

@jeffreyjkim_ @Sci_Mindfulness @mindandlife Good work, Jeffrey!

Grant writing advice. Many people get too detailed and assume background knowledge of the reviewer too quickly. Your grant early on needs to answer (in my view) these questions:

[Patricia Lockwood @thepsychologist]

"Is there a 'social' brain? implementations and algorithms' new paper with @brain_apps & @stevewcchang in @TrendsCognSci! https://t.co/9MJRR2uGUb thread below👇

Our new article https://t.co/jJOJLuSmBK is out @PsychMedJournal: self-compassionate youth show lower depression & less immersion/conflict/control-related neural responses to sad self, but more empathy-related ones to sad other. @self_compassion @healthyminds @nazhang_phd Thread👇

[Guanmin Liu @GuanminL]

But during sad other-face, SC relates to more activity in empathy-related regions (insula/SI/IPL) in healthy (but not depressed) youth. All these appear to suggest that SC youth dwell less on their own distress, but more empathic to others’ one, at least among healthy youth.
