Awe helps humans feel more connected to the world and other people—and in the aftermath of a natural disaster, it can bring out the best in all of us.

Excited that amongst other Bay Area neurodevelopment researchers, I have been awarded a Schwab Innovation Award to continue our work examining socio-emotional strengths in dyslexia. With my mentor @brainsturming and the wonderful Ron Dahl at Berkeley.

Our paper just out in HBM https://t.co/Eg22J88mGP 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

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...

Influence of periaqueductal gray on other salience network nodes predicts social sensitivity. Social responsiveness depends on flow from PAG to SN. https://t.co/aObVJJJe0Y

New pub alert! @EleanorPalser et al. show the parasympathetic nervous system may be enhanced in dyslexia: children with dyslexia have higher RSA at rest and greater cardiac deceleration during an empathy task, compared to neurotypical children
I’m excited to share our latest #openaccess article, showing elevated tonic heart rate variability in children with dyslexia and increased behavioral and cardiac responses during empathy. With @brainsturming at @UCSF_CAN_Lab
