Despite a growing focus on the early identification, intervention, and prevention of psychosis in adolescence, little attention has been given to understanding neurodevelopmental and pubertal context that the precede psychosis onset. This period is also marked by initiation and rising gonadal hormones, which have a powerful impact on the neuromaturation, connectivity, and cognitive function. This developmental context may impart explain sex differences in timing of psychosis onset and course. Hormones like estrogen effect normative neurodevelopment may act on mechanism of psychosis onset and provide resiliency to women who are otherwise at risk for psychosis. My research leverages normative changes in late childhood and early adolescent development provides a natural experiment to understanding the neurodevelopmental interactions estrogen has with vulnerability to psychosis.

The host for this event is Sandi Chapman, PhD.
