Excited to share this new paper from my lab led by Jiayi Zheng (Jenny) showing how higher sleep duration, lower screen time, and participation in extracurricular activities promotes cognitive development during adolescence.

new preprint out!
in this review/perspective paper, we synthesize research across network neuroscience, social neuroscience, and neuroecology to characterize how brain network organization varies across interpersonal social experience.

Link to a recent paper I forgot to share on bluesky! We investigated links between SES, changes in within-network connectivity, and academic outcomes in the ABCD study. Out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience @fluxsociety.bsky.social

This is figure 3, which shows neural mediators of the link between income inequality and mental health problems 18 months later.
A study in Nature Mental Health uses data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort study to evaluate the relationship between state-level income inequality, brain structure and function, and mental health in young people. go.nature.com/4872wyh 🧪
Thanks Cassandra!!
Read coverage on our article on macroeconomic income inequality, the brain, and mental health in @theguardian.com:
www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
www.nature.com/articles/s44...
New paper in Nature Mental Health where we show that macroeconomic income inequality is associated with brain structure and function over and above individual-level SES and other state-level factors. These alterations may serve as pathways to mental health problems.

New #article from Rakesh et al: Economic Inequality and Mental Health: Causality, Mechanisms, and Interventions
TL;DR: Economic inequality worsens mental health by increasing interpersonal social comparison and undermining the social capital of communities
www.annualreviews.org/docserver/fu...
“Our findings suggest that structural income inequality is associated with neurobiological differences, even after accounting for absolute income and poverty. These brain differences, in turn, help explain links to adverse mental health outcomes.”

Living in an unequal society, regardless of individual wealth, can lead to structural changes in the brains of children.

Important work on inequality changing children’s brain structure from @divyangana.bsky.social and colleagues.
Best ways to reduce inequality:
1. Fair pay agreements for every sector
2. Abolish two child benefit cap, for universal social security
3. Fair tax.

*New preprint* on ND and co-occurring mental health problems from my lab, led by Chiara Caserini! Using longitudinal data from ABCD we asked: What drives poor mental health outcomes in children with high ND traits? Here's brief summary 🧠🌳🏡 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1.... 1/n
"Although growing up in poverty carries many risks, some children defy the odds & demonstrate positive cognitive outcomes." This blog explores how to foster #Resilience in disadvantaged contexts.
