CNS 2022 is off to a great start! Symposium 2’s theme was “Localization of Function in Times of Network Science” and researchers like @DaniSBassett explained how cognitive effort can be thought of as network orchestration #CNS2022 1/ pic.twitter.com/ONUr4ocxuC

Stereotypes about teens are nothing new, go back to Socrates… What is new is understanding the changes in the brain that continue through childhood, adolescence (where there is massive development!), and beyond –@sjblakemore #CNS2022 pic.twitter.com/utR3zTRMHP

White matter decreases about 1% each year during the same time period. Why? Still don’t know for sure what underlies this pattern due to fMRI limitations for microstructures but there are at least three neurodevelopmental processes at play –@sjblakemore #CNS2022 pic.twitter.com/wHLQnk1InZ

Adolescents are also hypersenstiive to social exclusion, showing larger mood changes compared to adults, which might help explain why teens take risks (like trying substances under peer pressure) in certain cases to avoid social risks –@sjblakemore #CNS2022 pic.twitter.com/psoKan4lv4

The implications of this body of work for education and public health are that young people have a lot of power to influence each other, pointing the way to peer-led interventions, such as for things like bullying –@sjblakemore #CNS2022 pic.twitter.com/1QS6knlrmx
