Happy to share our review "Investigating hierarchical critical periods in human neurodevelopment” in @npp-journal.bsky.social! We examine neurobiological, environmental & behavioral evidence for human critical periods in sensory and association cortex +discuss new research directions rdcu.be/eMkVU 🧡

🚨 Excited to share the latest preprint form the lab ➑️https://tinyurl.com/32d3be9f

Here we tackle a long-standing chicken-or-egg 🐣πŸ₯šquestion in #autism and developmental neuroscience

➑️ Is excitation–inhibition (E:I) imbalance a "cause" or a "consequence" of #autism?

Check out what we found!

thrilled to share this project over a decade in the making out now in @pnas.org! We show that precocious GABA boosting in neonates by early sevoflurane/propofol anesthetic exposure accelerates visual cortical maturation in human infants

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧡 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Adolescent maturation of cortical excitation-inhibition ratio based on individualized biophysical network modeling Individualized simulations reveal a decrease in excitation-inhibition ratio in association areas throughout adolescence.

πŸ§ βš–οΈπŸ“‰ How does the cortical excitation-inhibition ratio mature during adolescence?

Excited to announce that our paper (led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Derek Smith) is out in @nathumbehav.nature.com
go.illinois.edu/Lee2025_NHB
We use 36 days of testing in 4 inhibitory control tasks to examine the precision of inhibitory control measures in *individuals* and how they vary

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
