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!

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. schwabcognitivediversity.ucsf.edu/2022-innovatio…

Our paper just out in HBM onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb… 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

Influence of periaqueductal gray on other salience network nodes predicts social sensitivity. Social responsiveness depends on flow from PAG to SN. bit.ly/33vfE0M @MyrtheRijpma @winsonfzyang @GvnBattistella @brainsturming @Rankin_Lab #NIAfundedADRC @UCSF_CAN_Lab
