This week we welcomed @amie_rwj to the @UCSF_CAN_Lab for a 6 month research visit! Amie is going to be working on applying affective science methods to neurodevelopmental populations. Excited to have you!

[Eleanor Palser @EleanorPalser]

Excited that amongst other Bay Area neurodevelopment researchers, I have been awarded a Schwab Innovation Award to continue our work examining socio-emotional strengths in dyslexia. With my mentor @brainsturming and the wonderful Ron Dahl at Berkeley. https://t.co/IfmIiJGfX7

[Rankin Lab @Rankin_Lab]

Our paper just out in HBM https://t.co/Eg22J88mGP shows how socioemotional sensitivity depends on individual differences in directional flow from the PAG to the rest of the salience network, in healthy adults & those with bvFTD. Congrats @MyrtheRijpma @winsonfzyang @UCSF_CAN_Lab

[UCSF Fein Memory and Aging Center @UCSFmac]

Influence of periaqueductal gray on other salience network nodes predicts social sensitivity. Social responsiveness depends on flow from PAG to SN. https://t.co/aObVJJJe0Y @MyrtheRijpma @winsonfzyang @GvnBattistella @brainsturming @Rankin_Lab #NIAfundedADRC @UCSF_CAN_Lab

Still looking for an admin lab manager!🔎Contribute to research on emotion across the lifespan in aging, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases🧠 We like #AweWalks, coding facial behaviors, and nerding out about the brain! https://t.co/BfHEmPcjpH

[UCSF Clinical Affective Neuroscience Lab @UCSF_CAN_Lab]

New pub alert! @EleanorPalser et al. show the parasympathetic nervous system may be enhanced in dyslexia: children with dyslexia have higher RSA at rest and greater cardiac deceleration during an empathy task, compared to neurotypical children

[Eleanor Palser @EleanorPalser]

I’m excited to share our latest #openaccess article, showing elevated tonic heart rate variability in children with dyslexia and increased behavioral and cardiac responses during empathy. With @brainsturming at @UCSF_CAN_Lab https://t.co/hrY8hLbLlV

[UCSF Clinical Affective Neuroscience Lab @UCSF_CAN_Lab]

Excellent management and analytical skills? Interested in contributing to clinical research? Be our admin lab manager to help with coordinating studies on emotion across the lifespan in aging, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases! https://t.co/BfHEmPcjpH
