(1/6) We have a new paper out in #eNeuro!
How does the brain’s reward processing change across social contexts? We mapped brain activity (cFos) & found that social context reshapes how reward circuits are coordinated🐭🏆

S1: More social media users perceived themselves as addicted than met clinical addiction criteria.
S2: Increasing perceived addiction hurt perceived control over use and increased self-blame for overuse.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

This project led by @carlygray.bsky.social poses important questions about the environments in which adolescents develop! Such a careful and comprehensive project, made possible by the @theabcdstudy.bsky.social data.
New preprint! osf.io/preprints/os...
We examined age-, gender-, and greenspace-specific associations between neighborhood greenspace and mental health among adolescents in @theabcdstudy.bsky.social 🌱
Counter to many previous studies on the topic, we found very little evidence of an association.
