Regional alignment with sex-typical brain architecture, maternal health and environmental enrichment predict psychiatric symptoms in early life

Raluca Petrican, Leonardo De Pascalis, Chris Murgatroyd…·Tamara Vaz

The paper shows that neonatal brain alignment with sex-typical functional connectivity patterns predicts psychiatric symptoms in toddlers, with different outcomes for female- and male-typical patterns.

Brain-Environment Alignment during Movie Watching Predicts Cognitive-Affective Function in Adulthood

Raluca Petrican, Kim S. Graham, Andrew D. Lawrence

This study examines how brain-environment alignment during movie watching relates to cognitive and affective functions across adulthood, finding age-related differences in brain reconfiguration and its impact on fluid IQ and environmental vigilance.
