Children’s limited cognitive capacity creates a learning bottleneck that accelerates the emergence of systematic language structures, producing sequences both children and adults find easier to learn. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2026.106622

Adverse childhood experiences are already embedded in biological systems by age nine; a threat-related aging profile emerged as a predictor of later psychiatric issues in this longitudinal study. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Researchers used scans from more than 5,000 individuals to map how brain structure varies across many different cases of depression. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I, honestly, feel very honored to receive this award... I read a number of papers from Dr. Reeb-Sutherland when I was starting my dissertation. She was a real trailblazer! Thanks to @isdp.org and their award selection committee!

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Transdiagnostic latent factor models of psychopathology are widely assumed to improve brain-behaviour associations. So we decided to test this directly and found that they don't. A short 🧵 Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/10
