Projects
Focus on the investigation of a lack of cognitive control in bullies and victims that contributes to the risk of developing mental health problems. Therefore, the project will assess bullies and their victims in real-life and digital social interactions to investigate how aberrant cognitive and affective prefrontal control and sensitivity to peer rejection with accompanied alterations in autonomic arousal may increase externalizing and internalizing behavior.
Publications
Early life stress is associated with alterations in brain function and connectivity during affective processing, especially in the fronto-limbic pathway. However, most of the previous studies were limited to a small set of priori-selected regions and did not address the impact of stress timing on functional connectivity.
