How early do executive function begin? Our new paper in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience links fetal resting-state connectivity to executive function at age 5, highlighting cerebellar and salience systems as early scaffolds for cognitive control. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How early can we detect neural pathways linked to anxiety risk? In our new review, we discuss behavioral inhibition, maternal anxiety/stress, and infant brain systems involved in attention and control across early development. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new paper www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Using longitudinal rsfMRI data from 180 infants, we show that developmental changes in attention-related brain networks during the first 2 years of life are associated with fearful temperament, an early risk marker for anxiety.

Have you been wanting to dive into laminar MEG, but have been held back by using windows? We've got you covered! laMEG now tested on windows! danclab.github.io/laMEG/window... Thanks to @quentinmoreau.bsky.social, Maxime Ferez, and Ludovic Darmet! #neuroscience #neuroskyence #compneurosky

Check out our new preprint! It's especially useful for looking at rhythmicity in infant EEG signals 🧠👶
