Dr. Craske demonstrated that exposure therapy works best when it creates new learning rather than simply reducing fear. Expectancy change predicts better outcomes, highlighting the power of the inhibitory retrieval model to refine and strengthen exposure-based treatments #2025SPR

A really interesting closing talk on behalf of Linhao Zhang showed that sleep duration and physiological regulation (RSA) jointly predict teen mental health💤 Among teens with higher RSA, shorter sleep duration was linked to greater internalizing problems.

Sofia Cardenas presented fascinating work on sleep & brain connectivity in first time fathers 🧠 Poorer sleep quality & changes in testosterone after birth were linked to differences in white matter organization in regions important for cognition and emotion processing

Kicking off an interesting symposium on sleep and physiology: Emily Cardenas shared fascinating work on the peripartum period, showing that in women with a more reduced reward response (RewP) sleep problems were more strongly linked to depressive symptoms 💤 #2025SPR

Fascinating to see how blunted reward learning appears across those with depression, in remission, and even at family risk. Dr. Pizzagalli’s work highlights how reward-related markers may help match patients to the most effective treatment, like bupropion vs. sertraline. #2025SPR
