📄NEW PAPER ALERT 📄
Shout out to Dr. Calabro and his newest pub "Developmental decorrelation of local cortical activity through adolescence supports high-dimensional encoding and working memory" now available in DCN

The cover of McSweeney's #77, featuring art by Claire Boyle.
The first page of "Playspace," by Clare Beams. There is a pinwheel above the title. The first sentence reads "We, the parents, mostly the mothers, had been coming to the Playspace for a long time."
A recent bright spot: I have a short story about the surrealities of parenthood in the new issue of @mcsweeneys.net . Very grateful to Rita Bullwinkel and everyone at McSweeney's for giving "Playspace" such a beautiful home.
Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers?
With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
New Pub Alert !!
Check out @shanemckeon.bsky.social final paper from her Phd work entitled "Prefrontal Excitation/ Inhibition Balance Supports Adolescent Enhancements in Circuit Signal to Noise Ratio"

I'd love to be added too! Maybe I'll even post something eventually!
There's lots of disagreement about when adolescence starts and ends (in part because there are such individual differences). Cool new study suggests that, in terms of executive functioning at least, adolescence roughly = age 10-20 years
