Talk Title: Social cognition and working memory in pediatric brain tumor survivors: What does functional activation tell us?
Abstract: Pediatric brain tumor survivors are at risk for deficits in social cognition and working memory even years following treatment. We evaluated a chief measure of social cognition, Theory of Mind, with a functional task in addition to two novel paradigms examining social and cognitive working memory. Task accuracy was further paired with network-based analysis targeting the Default Mode, Mentalizing, and Central Executive networks. This talk will discuss the results of this promising pilot study as well as future implications for the field of pediatric cancer.
MRI Users Workshops are monthly informal gatherings for users who are interested in getting to know each other and talking science. The workshop is open to all, and students and postdocs are particularly encouraged to attend.
Workshops typically include a short presentation of work (15-25 minutes) with an extended discussion at the end.
Workshops are typically held on the third Friday of each month at 1:00pm, in the Psychology Building, Room TBD. 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.
