DTP is excited to share a new paper from Tate Poplin in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging. Tate is the first author and a current graduate student in our lab. This work was conducted during Tate’s prior role as a research assistant at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, OK. The paper examines how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) affects attention and threat processing in individuals with anxious depression. The study found that frontal tDCS enhanced task engagement and executive control—but also unexpectedly increased sensitivity to threat, highlighting the nuanced effects of neuromodulation in complex clinical populations. A BPCNNI press release about this study is linked in our bio!

This study looked at how children and their caregivers report children’s experiences of trauma and PTSD symptoms. Researchers wanted to know whose reports—child or parent—better reflect what’s happening in the child’s brain and body. The results showed that children’s own reports matched their brain and body responses better than their caregivers’ reports. This suggests that children’s perspectives give important and unique information about how trauma affects them, and that their voices should be included in both research and clinical assessments.
