This Deep Dive covers work by @hadarfisher.bsky.social @nigeljaffe.bsky.social @diegopizzagalli.bsky.social @christianwebb.bsky.social exploring whether smartphone passive sensors & LLMs can track activation in adolescents w/ anhedonia receiving behavioral activation therapy

Our case study takes a detailed look at language typed by 5 youth on their smartphones in the 30-day period before suicide-related hospitalization, combining both natural language processing (sentiment, suicide content, topics) and clinician qualitative review to identify potential risk factors.

Excited to share this paper! My co-authors and I did a deep dive into smartphone language to understand indicators of suicide risk in adolescents. One of our goals was to compare AI indicators to clinician ratings. Take a look!

🆕 paper from @isaactreves.bsky.social @paulbloom.bsky.social @prof-nick-allen.bsky.social et al using natural language processing to detect suicide risk. They demonstrated elevations in suicidal language & negative sentiment before hospitalization in adolescents.

In this recent DPN study, @nicolerzurcher.bsky.social & colleagues adapted an AI-based segmentation tool to accurately delineate the choroid plexus in autism spectrum disorder. This approach helps quantify choroid plexus volume across large neuroimaging datasets.

Led by Santiago López Pereyra & @jengoldschmiedphd.bsky.social, this study demonstrates that combining two novel TMS-derived metrics with standard motor-evoked potentials classifies unmedicated major depressive disorder with 83.3% accuracy.

This study by @drsarahsperry.bsky.social & colleagues shows that in bipolar disorder, better mood and higher daily steps predicted each other from day to day, while more intense physical activity improved next-day mood but was not influenced by mood.

A primer on sleep neuroscience for psychiatry - NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience - A primer on sleep neuroscience for psychiatry

Check out our 🆕 Primer which walks through the neuroscience of sleep, how sleep is measured, key EEG features, and why it's important to assess sleep dysregulation in psychiatric care and research.

By Jared Saletin & Giulia Righi

Really important insight from @suthanalab.bsky.social. There seems to be lots of general agreement about the importance for cross-species analysis. But, in practice and in the trenches - there's a real divide on how to do it and how to implement it. Appreciate these conversations being raised!

Tracking teen depression risk through brain connectivity and text message data YouTube video by NPP - Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience (DPN)

Our new Deep Dive covers a study by @carterfunkhouser.bsky.social, @dpagliaccio.bsky.social & colleagues, which linked EEG-based brain connectivity patterns with emotional expression from text messages to identify neural markers of depressive symptoms in teens

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on our NIH-funded R01 which is a longitudinal cohort of adolescents (13-20) doing EMA and passive text sensing! Please apply, especially if you have experience in the analysis OR collection of these data.

PLEASE SHARE!!

#InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience I checked out this book so many times my parents gave me my own copy for Christmas… 20 years later, it was at my thesis defense and now in my postdoc office. Thankful for all of the supportive women in my life that have helped make this journey successful 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hey #Neuroscientists and #Educators,
Does anyone know of a good 3D brain model for kids with structures labeled that can be taken apart?
Looking for accuracy and to support smaller businesses / #neuroartists rather than a big box store.

EEG-based brain connectivity and sentiment analysis from smartphone social communication: insights into remitted major depressive disorder among adolescents - NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience We studied brain activity in adolescents with and without a history of depression, and how it relates to their everyday emotional expression in text messages. Using EEG, we found that certain patterns...
