Our multivariate twin work is now out on Intelligence. Here we introduce the infant g, extending the established construct of generalized cognition to early infancy. Check it out! @UU_University #AcademicTwitter #devpsych #infancy #cognition sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our Research Topic highlights through cross-cultural work how improving the quality of the early care environment might be crucial to support health and development of children with neurodevelopmental conditions. #devpsych #epigenetics #environment doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.…

Now out as a preprint! Our infant twin work showing unique contributions from genes and family environment to variability on different aspects of sensory processing, and linking these to later autistic traits: osf.io/u3rvf/ #AcademicTwitter #devpsy #twins #sensory

Exciting (busy) days at #LCICD

In this Association for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Featured #OpenAccess Editorial from Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Prof Angelica Ronald reflects on the impact of names – or labels – used for diagnoses in child and adolescent #Psychiatry, with a view to how the field moves forward.

We are recruiting! PhD opportunity in our lab, looking at eye-tracking and brain function (EEG and MRI) to understand how preschoolers process sensory and social information, and how that relates to autism and associated conditions: jobb.uu.se/details/?posit… #PhD #JobAlert

Thank you Mary Doherty 🏳️‍🌈! This preprint (undergoing peer-review) examines neurodiversity among the researchers of AIMS-2-TRIALS🥼🔬🧠We found that a notable % of researchers have personal links to autism & that neuroidentity & gender influence career role, income & mental health.

No better way to use knowledge and understanding of brain development than in real parenting practice!

A nice effort to recap recent findings on early sensory processing differences in autism and discuss implications for theories on autism emergence. In this short piece, we argue that it is time to embrace a ‘sensory-first’ account of autism! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Nice to see this out! Based on live eye-tracking, we found no differences in response to eye contact in infants who go on to receive an autism diagnosis. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

New paper out! Findings support adaptive gain theories of arousal, extending the link between phasic pupil dilation and task performance to spontaneous social orienting in infancy. rdcu.be/dttFI

Episode 3 of Happy Little Minds - Ask The Scientist podcast is live! Listen here: bit.ly/3uQMs1R. We interviewed brilliant neuroscientist mum giorgia bussu frm @UU_University. An interesting conversation touching on many topics including parenting advice on social media!

In less than a month I will discuss individualised approaches to understand development in relation to autism. A pleasure to be invited as a speaker among amazing researchers and to present my work in my home country 🇮🇹 #autism #research #individualdifferences

New article out! Here we studied variability among baby twins in visual attention and more basic oculomotor efficiency 👇 srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/MVVSEFCC… #babytwins #attention #eyetracking #autism #infantresearch #neuroscience #childdevelopment

There is still time to submit your manuscript to our research topic! Risk and Protective Factors, Family Environment and (A)Typical Neurodevelopmental Outcomes - Volume II Frontiers - Psychology frontiersin.org/researchtopic/…

#OpenAccess giorgia bussu et al explore the structure of genetic & environmental influences on variability across different sensory dimensions early in infancy, & to what extent this variability & its etiological influences link to later #Autistic traits bit.ly/41L8MrG
