In this podcast we talk to Dr. Sandra Thijssen, who was Assistant Professor of the Department of Psychology, Education and Child Studies at Erasmus University, and is now part of the Department of Pedagogical and Educational Sciences at Radboud University.
Sandra begins with a brief overview of how the frontoamygdalar brain circuitry functions and its role in emotional regulation. She then discusses the research and findings from her paper published in the JCPP ‘The longitudinal association between externalizing behavior and frontoamygdalar resting-state functional connectivity in late adolescence and young adulthood‘.
Moreover, Sandra talks about future research projects, including learning more about what experiences may amplify the progression of externalising or antisocial behaviours.
