Your cognitive skills at age two might predict your ability in adulthood - ABC listen
We’ve known for some time that the first few years of childhood are critical when it comes to development.
But a new study has highlighted just how critical the early years are for cognitive ability....

I was awarded my first R01 grant last week! I'm really looking forward to taking another deep dive into the science of musicality in the coming few years in two very important datasets (CATSLife & ABCD).
I will also be looking for a postdoc (or potentially a PhD student to help with this project)!

Newly published study showing people with lower "predicted brain age" in midlife (mean age 56) have less decline in executive function abilities over the next 12 years.
Brain reserve in midlife is associated with executive function changes across 12 years
We examined how brain reserve in midlife, measured by brain-predicted age difference scores (Brain-PADs), predicted executive function concurrently an…

We published a new study showing the genetic influences on depression/anxiety disorders are NOT identical to those on self-reported measures of loneliness, well-being (etc.)
