Talk Title:
Social Outcomes after Acquired Childhood Brain Injury: Intersection of Behavior and Functional Activation
Abstract:
Following acquired childhood brain injury, survivors are at risk for psychosocial morbidities including poor social adjustment. Emerging research aims to bridge neuroscientific methods with assessment of these sequelae, but faces the challenge of assessing social constructs within the artificial environment of MRI. Here, we report on recent efforts to address this challenge via: 1) development of socially-relevant fMRI paradigms; and 2) integration with psychometrically robust assessment measures; as illustrated in survivors of pediatric malignancy and traumatic brain injury.
The CCBBI Talk Series and MRI Users Meetings foster the exchange of experience and expertise in neuroimaging among MRI users at OSU, as well as with external speakers (through the CCBBI Talk Series). The main focus is on methodological aspects of MRI research and experiment design and also serves to highlight novel approaches and topics. The meetings offer a space for a lively exchange of ideas that benefit all users, to make the best possible use of technologies available in the CCBBI.
Meetings are generally held on the first Friday of every month at 1:00pm in the Psychology Building, Room 35. To receive meeting details and related MRI announcements, please complete a request form and specify that you would like to be added to the CCBBI mailing list.
