We leverage neurodevelopment to identify emerging psychopathology and promote healthy development-using clinical interviews, physiological measures, behavioral paradigms, cognitive testing, and neuroimaging (MRI).
What is pollution's effect on the #hippocampus? 🤔 🧠 🏭

In a new paper, our PI, @katesfdamme.bsky.social, explores the impact of air pollutant exposure on #cognition and hippocampal volumes across #development.

Our new paper is out! It offers a tool to assess collinearity impact on contrast estimates
*and*
uses simulations + MID data to show how common collinearity avoidance strategies can bias results.

Huge thanks to @russpoldrack.org , M Demidenko, and the ABCD folks.

Unintended bias in the pursuit of collinearity solutions in fMRI analysis
Abstract. In task functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), collinearity between task regressors in time series models may impact power. When collinearity is identified after data collection, rese...

Stress impacts the brain differently, depending on the stage of development.

In this JAMA Pediatrics publication, our PI Dr. Katherine Damme and her colleagues explore how timing of stress during periods of brain development leads to future mental health outcomes.
