Our paper just out in HBM onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… shows how socioemotional sensitivity depends on individual differences in directional flow from the PAG to the rest of the salience network, in healthy adults & those with bvFTD. Congrats @MyrtheRijpma @winsonfzyang @UCSF_CAN_Lab

Influence of periaqueductal gray on other salience network nodes predicts social sensitivity

This article describes the causal influence that salience network nodes have on each other, and shows that the directional output of the periaqueductal gray to other salience network structures is a...

Dyslexia is a condition characterized by reading difficulties, but our new study suggests people with dyslexia also have exceptional strength in the area of emotion. @AlbaLanguage @EleanorPalser @elkosik @UCSFmac @FumikoHoeft @brucemillerucsf

Children diagnosed with dyslexia show greater emotional reactivity than children without dyslexia, according to a new collaborative study by @UCSF neuroscientists with the UCSF Dyslexia Center and UCSF Memory and Aging Center (@UCSFmac). bit.ly/36s75TB

Could practicing awe help get us through the doldrums of 2020? "Awe is partly about focusing on the world outside of your head," @brainsturming of @UCSFmac told @nytimes. “It is such a simple thing... and there’s no downside.” #mentalhealth @GBHI_Fellows nytimes.com/2020/09/30/well/…

An ‘Awe Walk’ Might Do Wonders for Your Well-Being (Published 2020)

Older men and women who took a fresh look at the objects and vistas around them felt more upbeat and hopeful.
