We’re now learning that co-exposure to various air pollutants shape the developing brain in children and adolescents. Our new study looked at brain MRIs from 10,095 children and found that exposure to specific sources of PM2.5 is related to differences in gray matter morphology.

Pollution from traffic, biomass burning, and crustal materials like dust is related to differences in cortical surface area, thickness, and subcortical volume. This is a big step toward understanding which environmental exposures impact child brain development across the U.S.

In ~4,000 youth from the ABCD Study, we found:
🧠Age → near-global amygdala expansion
🧬Sex differences in apportionment
⚖️Higher BMIz → smaller basolateral subregions
English
New paper alert! 🚨🚨
The amygdala is key to emotional, social & appetitive behaviors—but how do its subregions develop in preadolescence?

New paper alert! In this updated systematic review, we explored how air pollution associates with brain structure and function during development. We present major takeaways from this growing body of literature, and recommendations for future work!

Congratulations to Devyn and our larger team on our recent publication showing one year of air pollution exposure is linked to long-term changes in brain development during adolescence. We need cleaner air for kids!

Anotha one! This time, I present to you the first longitudinal analysis of how low-level air pollution exposure during childhood affects white matter microstructural development over a two-year follow-up period during adolescence, a 🧵: nature.com/articles/s4385…

New pre-print alert from me and @Marybel08 ! In this paper we discuss how, despite being used as "control/nuisance variables", there is still little discussion in neuro spaces on how it is that we operationalize/contextualize #RaceandEthnicity. psyarxiv.com/xs8t3 1/16

We are so excited for Dr. Cardenas-Iniguez @kharloews and Dr. Gonzalez @Marybel08 -- their new paper on responsible use regarding race and ethnicity for the field of neuroimaging is now available in @NatureNeuro

We are thrilled to announce that our postdoc Dr. Bottenhorn @62442katieb was awarded a K99/R00 grant from @NIH’s BRAIN Initiative for her pioneering project focused on the impact of sex hormones during puberty on brain development. Cheers to a future trailblazer! #BRAINInitiative

Dr. Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez @kharloews (one of our amazing postdocs) has just released his new preprint describing the "Adolescent Neural Urbanome" framework for the ABCD Study 5.0 Linked External Data for Environment!

Excited to share our new preprint describing new linkages in ABCD Release 5.0 detailing social and physical environments that may impact child/ adolescent neural development. We introduce a framework we're calling the "Adolescent Neural Urbanome." 🏢🌳🛣️ osf.io/preprints/psya…
