A brief thread 🧵

🌟📝 Just out in World Psychiatry:

Our new piece demonstrates the added value of dynamic symptom networks for predicting treatment outcomes beyond baseline severity & common covariates, with an added explained variance of 9-22% at post-treatment & follow-up.

Oxford EDGE Lab at a local pub in Oxford.

It's been a great first year at Oxford EDGE Lab, and a privilege to work with this wonderful group of master's & PhD students.

Here from our Secret Santa & goodbye gathering for visiting post-docs @sammarieharris.bsky.social & @eiraaksnes.bsky.social. See you soon!

@edgelab.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Exited to show what we’ve been working on very soon 🤓

My research stay @ox.ac.uk has come to and end at it has been above and beyond all expectations! Leaving with such fond memories, new friends and more academically inspired then ever💭🤩👩🏽‍💻👏🏻

A special thanks to @omidvebrahimi.bsky.social and the @edgelab.bsky.social for being the best hosts🫶🏻

Only at Oxford do you arrive at dinner thinking about developmental psychology and neuroscience and leave reflecting on how exorcism intersects with psychology, history, and law 🧑🏻‍⚖️💭📜👩🏽‍⚕️🧞

2/3
One of the things I love most about my research stay at @ox.ac.uk. is the way this place expands your intellectual world by revealing connections in topics and ideas you assumed were far outside your field 🤔🌀

3/3
Thank you to all the speakers for lending their expertise on this topic, and for all the attendees that came to listen and discuss!

After an unexpected conversation at a formal with Prof Javier García Oliva, I somehow ended up chairing the Q&A for an interdisciplinary panel on… exorcism just a couple of months later 🕯️ @magdalencollege.

We investigated the longitudinal interactions of symptoms of emotional problem across childhood and adolescence.

2/4
Here, we investigate emotional symptom dynamics in males and females, by leveraging longitudinal data from the ALSPAC Study. We estimated a panelGVAR network model and statistically compared the networks of males and females.

3/4
Our findings show largely reciprocal associations among emotional symptoms, with the strongest edges between fearful–nervous and unhappy–worries in the temporal network. We found no differences in the structure of male and female networks.

4/4
In conclusion, these findings highlight the bidirectional influences between core symptoms of depression and anxiety, but did not find support for sex differences in their developmental interrelatedness.

JCPP Advances | ACAMH Child Development Journal | Wiley Online Library This study examined how emotional symptoms co-develop from childhood to adolescence using longitudinal data from over 11,000 children and adolescents. Network analyses revealed reciprocal links betwe...

My first PhD paper just got published in JCPP Advances last week!! ✅

In this paper we investigate developmental dynamics of emotional problems across childhood and adolescence in males and females 👦

Ulikhet er Norges tause helserisiko

🇳🇴 Ny kronikk: #Ulikhet er en helserisiko.
Vi så at #ungdomsrøyking ga dårligere helse som voksen blant dem med foreldre med lav utdanning.
Dvs. #folkehelse handler ikke bare om atferd, men også om sosiale forskjeller.

Hi Bluesky👋 Excited to use my first post to share our new paper: "Multimodal brain age indicators of internalizing problems in early adolescence: A longitudinal investigation" Now out in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging 👀 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
