SUMMARY:Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang: Longitudinal neurodevelopmental correlates of mid-adolescents’ psychosocial processing: A path to young adult wellbeing?
DESCRIPTION:Combining open-ended interviews (outside the scanner) with structural\, trial-by-trial\, and resting-state functional MRI neuroimaging\, we examined real-time functional neural dynamics underlying diverse urban mid-adolescents’ cognitive and emotional engagement with compelling social stories at two time-points\, two years apart. We found that the patterns of longitudinal change in neural network dynamics predicted psychosocial outcomes five years later in young adulthood. \nWe found that “transcendent thinking” – seeing situations not just in terms of X happened to person A\, which makes me feel thusly\, but in terms of the larger societal and contextual forces that shaped how Person A was treated and how Person A reacted\, the broader implications and lessons one can draw from that situation\, and the larger issues it exemplifies or reveals—correlated with a particular set of neural activity dynamics and predicted future structural and functional neural development across the subsequent two years\, controlling for the starting state of neural development\, and independent of IQ and SES. Transcendent thinking also countered negative effects of exposure to community violence on structural brain development. \nThe neural development predicted by transcendent thinking (the changes in the brain across the 2-year period) in turn predicted young adult identity strength\, self-liking\, relationship satisfaction\, and achievement 5 years later. \nThese findings reveal a novel predictor of neural development across mid-adolescence\, and underscore the active role adolescents play in their own brain development through the meaning they make of the social world.

SUMMARY:Dr. Milan Valyear: Rewards\, errors\, and the disentangling of striatal functions.
DESCRIPTION:Successful pursuit of reinforcers requires the generation of predictions and evaluation of outcomes. Midbrain dopamine neurons and their projections to the striatum are thought to be critical for these processes. Here\, we will consider two narratives: dopamine as a reward signal and dopamine as an error signal. Then we will examine the extent to which these\, and other narratives\, can be disentangled using new optical tools.
