Studying brain connectivity, psychopathology, development and psychosocial risk in high risk infants @ Wash U school of medicine. Led by Drs. Rogers & Smyser
THE WUNDER LAB IS HIRING!! If you are interested in structural and functional connectivity (#fMRI and #dMRI), machine learning, and child development, please apply for our new postdoc position! See details below. RTs much appreciated.
How does the brain's surface expand in the first ten years of life? How does being born very preterm impact this process? We answer these questions in our new paper in @braincomms. Check it out below!

Crime negatively affects teens, but what about toddlers?
In a new paper out in @JAACAP, we found that toddlers living in high crime neighborhoods had more externalizing symptoms at 1 & 2yrs, especially aggression. @wunder_lab
But how does crime influence toddlers?!

New preprint! Are early environments associated with the pace of cortical network development?
In my first postdoc preprint with the @wunder_lab, @BarchDbarch, @rogers_ce, and Chris Smyser, we addressed this question.

✔️PhD
I successfully defended my PhD thanks to my incredible team of mentors! My PIs: Chris Smyser & @rogers_ce, and bonus mentors: @BarchDbarch, Joan Luby, @upennedenlab & @shimonyjs, have always supported me and my work. I feel truly fortunate to be in the @wunder_lab!
ALT This photos is a candid photo of Rebecca Brady, a female PhD candidate with brown hair who is wearing beige blazer and black slacks, presenting her PhD dissertation. The slide shown depicts the implications of her study with a pyramid representing the levels of intervention. The bottom level reads “Entire community intervention - Reduce the prevalence and severity of neighborhood crime.” The next level of the pyramid reads: “High risk community intervention - Reduce exposure to neighborhood crime.” The top level of the pyramid reads: “Individual Intervention: Address maternal stress or parenting behaviors.”

Have been looking forward to this - next speaker today is @rogers_ce talking about social determinants of health on infant brain development. #SOBP2023
Belated announcement that as of a few months ago, I'm a postdoc at the @WUSTLmed@wunder_lab!
It's been a rollercoaster year (hence the twitter absence), but I'm delighted to have settled into a great research home with @rogers_ce, Chris Smyser, and @BarchDbarch 😌.
Drs. Cynthia Rogers and Christopher Smyser received a MERIT award from the National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health for their research focused on preterm babies' brains as the children age. @rogers_ce @WUSTLPeds

Also, a huge shoutout to all the staff who are involved with this study! Longitudinal studies are a tremendous undertaking and we appreciate their hard work.
Finally, we want to thank our wonderful families for participating in our research!We are so fortunate to work with them!

Thank you to everyone who came to my flashtalk at #SRCD2023 ! So great to chat about neonatal brain connectivity and emerging executive function in early childhood!
Join us for some exciting science this morning #SRCD23! Assistant Professor @RachelEmmaLean is sharing her latest findings in the Perinatal Experiences and Brain Development session @SRCDtweets!

Getting excited for #SRCD23! If you’re interested in neighborhood crime exposure, early externalizing behaviors, neonatal fMRI, or observed parenting behaviors, consider stopping by my poster to hear some NEW findings! @SRCDtweets
Congratulations to Regina Triplett, MD, MS (@RLTriplett), and Osvaldo Laurido-Soto, MD, on their recent @WUICTS 2023-2024 Clinical and Translational Research Funding Program awards!
