I am grateful to be granted a secondary appointment in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Congrats to Hee Jung Jeong and Leighton Durham, whose abstracts were accepted for the Society of Biological Psychiatry 2021 virtual meeting!

Leighton Durham published her first study in the lab. Congrats Leighton! Here we highlight neurostructural differences common across psychopathology using a hierarchical model of psychopathology symptoms. Specifically, globally smaller brains emerged as a common risk factor for many types of psychopathology in children.

Check out our overview of the use of hierarchical models to uncover dimensions of psychopathology published in World Psychiatry here.

Emily Micciche, Farrah Stone, and Randon Dupont have had their first abstracts from the lab accepted for the 2021 Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS) virtual meeting. Randon will also give a data blitz presentation. Well done!

Dr. Kaczkurkin joins her colleagues to initiate a study group discussion entitled, "New Nosological Approaches: Competing or Complementary" at the 2020 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology virtual meeting. This well-attended session was chaired by Leanne Williams, PhD and co-chaired by Carlos Blanco, MD, PhD, with distinguished speakers...

Really nice study showing white matter microstructural differences associated with psychopathology dimensions in children. Thanks to Ben Lahey for including me!

Congrats to Leighton for giving her first talk entitled, "Global Brain Volume is Associated with General Psychopathology in Children," at the Neuromatch 3.0 virtual conference.

Hee Jung Jeong and Leighton Durham present their work on the ABCD study dataset at the 2020 Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR) annual meeting poster session!

Interesting work using machine learning to reveal neurocognitive subtypes of depressed youth by Erica Baller.

A nice application and comparison of hierarchical models of psychopathology in the ABCD Study dataset with our collaborators at the University of Chicago can be found here.
