a cream background, in the top left corner there are three logos; the Cardiff University, the CUCHDS and the Cardiff Babylab logo. In the top right and bottom left corner there are red and blue circles that frame the post. Below the logos there is a blue rounded textbox, inside it says ‘New Research Published!’. Underneath there is text that says ‘Most kids know more words than they can say! But children with Williams syndrome… show a smaller “vocabulary gap”. We used computational modelling (brain-inspired computer simulation) to figure out why!’. In the middle of the post there is a diagram showing Hebbian connections between an auditory map and a visual map. Below it says ‘... and discovered that certain challenges in visual processing may help explain these language patterns.’ at the bottom of the image, in a blue textbox, it says ‘‘’Read more: (link to paper) Published in Developmental Science - “Explaining the Comprehension-Production Vocabulary Gap Through Neural Networks and Cross- Syndrome Evidence: Insights From Williams Syndrome.”’

📄 New research paper out!
Children usually understand more words than they can say – but in Williams syndrome, this gap is smaller. Using computational models, we explore why.

Did you know? Children who attend high-quality early childhood programs show stronger executive function skills through age 8. Here's the key: quality matters more than quantity. I'll be breaking down what 'quality' actually means in this week's deep dive.

Flyer for the CASSBI Seminar Series hosted by the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation at George Mason University. The seminar, titled "The social neuroscience and development of bonding: insights from the monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster)", will be presented by Lisa Hiura on Monday, April 21, 2025, from 12–1 pm via Zoom. The flyer includes a photo of Lisa Hiura and brief descriptions of her lab's research and the seminar topic, which focuses on how social bonds and attachments develop across the lifespan using prairie voles as a model organism. A link to register and more information about CASSBI is provided at https://cassbi.gmu.edu/.

Join us for Lisa Hiura’s CASSBI seminar on 4/21 @ 12PM ET: The social neuroscience of bonding: insights from prairie voles. Join to learn how early life & biology shape attachment.
