@sciqst While greater sleep irregularity and shorter duration were most relevant for cross-sectional mental health outcomes, only short duration was associated with increases in symptom severity 1 year later. Short duration may thus be an optimal target for future interventions.

This manuscript addresses a crucial link between sleep and mental health in adolescents. The use of Fitbit data is particularly interesting, as it provides objective insights into sleep patterns. How do you see these findings influencing future interventions or treatments for mental health issues in adolescents?

‼️ New manuscript in JAMA Pediatrics! We used Fitbit data from >3000 young adolescents to identify 6 sleep health dimensions. Day-to-day irregularity and shorter sleep duration were most strongly linked to transdiagnostic mental health outcomes. 👉 bit.ly/4uRJjcD

bit.ly/45KzoKv 🆕 Research! We identified 4 trajectories of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in young adolescents (N>10,000). Lifestyle factors (screen time, sleep, caffeine, physical activity) differentiated youth with severe and persistent PLE trajectories

@likeajumprope CONGRTAULATIONS JOHANNA!! 🥳

I am finally Dr. Bayer!!!

@IanKelleherMD and team found that individuals who present to hospital with self-harm are a high-risk group for developing psychosis or bipolar disorder. Excited to see novel, objective markers of psychosis risk! 👉tinyurl.com/yuwy7vat

🚨 New low-field MRI preprint!🚨 Super-resolution algorithms improve brain volumetrics derived from @Hyperfine scans in a pediatric & young adult population. 👏@sheth_kevin @joelsteinmd, led by @beccooper_ R Hayes & @MJalbrzikowski of @BostonChildrens 👉bit.ly/SR_vols_peds

Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation #Science #sciart

So nice to wake up to publication of my first lead author paper as a Lived Experience Research Fellow, collaborative effort w/ @AliveNational ACACIA @CMHR_ANU @drmbanfield @VictoriaJPalmer combining 3 data sources spanning 9 yrs. Take a read doi.org/10.1111/hex.13… @ANULibrary

Our "ENIGMA-in-2023" recap telco yesterday summarized the work done and efforts made this year by ENIGMA's 2000+ members across 45+ countries👉youtu.be/ZkLKEoZg0yE (slides posted here enigma.ini.usc.edu/events/news/) Thank you to all of you contributing to these scientific endeavors!

Amazing work showing altered thalamocortical development in adolescents with psychosis-spectrum disorders from @NeRD_lab_ led by @MJalbrzikowski …pringer-com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/article/10.103…

@alec_jamieson Congratulations Alec and team! 🙌

NEW PAPER ALERT🚨: We examined how effective connectivity of the #DMN is altered in young people with social anxiety disorder during different kinds of self-appraisal. Now published in #TranslationalPsychiatry 🧠 nature.com/articles/s4139…

My #researchgoals mentor @CropleyVanessa presenting some recent work on the Clinical and biological correlates of early life deprivation and threat in psychosis! 🧠

And just like that, another successful @ACNS_Official meeting is done! Our team has had the best time sharing and learning all about the latest cogneuro work led by our region's best and brightest 💡🧠 Please get in touch if you have more questions about our research! #ACNS2023

New study from ENIGMA-ORIGINs investigating the developmental trajectory of intracranial and subcortical volumes in ∼2,000 children (ages 0-6yrs) and how sociodemographic factors and adverse birth outcomes influence brain structure and cognition. nature.com/articles/s4159…

I somehow managed to lose my voice and get sunburnt in the last 2 days, but I am happy to be here at #SMHR2023, sharing our work on help-seeking for self-harm in young people at @HFandSTS.
