In this moment of extreme erasure of voices of color, my graduate student @ElbasheirAziz wrote about his experience of being Black in the US, and how his research reflects that experience. Powerful read. harvardpublichealth.org/equi…

Does #racism disrupt #interoception and influence dissociation? @ElbasheirAziz's fascinating new findings in @BiologicalPsyc1 show that more frequent racism was linked to interoceptive network disruptions, and this interoceptive network disruptions linked to #dissociation

New publication from the @FANs_Lab highlighting the relationship between racial discrimination and lesser insula-mPFC connectivity during attention to threat and its association with greater dissociative symptoms! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… check it out!!

Here is an easy to understand summary of a study we conducted, which found key differences in the brains of people without PTSD, people with classic PTSD, and people with the dissociative subtype of PTSD. See the results here! 1/3 #PTSD #Research #Psychology #Trauma #Neuroscience

Appreciate @ConversationUS shedding light on our research (led by @neurophd_emory student @ElbasheirAziz showing how #racism steals time from people's lives (accelerated epigenetic aging) through the brain. theconversation.com/racism-a… via @ConversationUS

Racism and discrimination lead to faster aging through brain network changes, new study finds

Black women who are more frequently exposed to racism showed stronger connections in areas of the brain involved in rumination and heightened vigilance, both of which lead to faster biological aging.

So proud of what @ElbasheirAziz has already accomplished! Look out for this 🌟
Aziz Elbasheir@ElbasheirAziz30 Jul 2024
Hello all! My name is Aziz Elbasheir and I’m a PhD student at @neurophd_emory in the @FANs_Lab! I’m currently investigating how experiencing racial discrimination affects neural networks associated with threat & emotion regulation! Excited to be part of #BINW24 #BINW #rollcall

Y'all, I am so proud of this paper! ⬇️ Where we live can influence our likelihood of developing PTSD! But research on resilience after trauma has often focused on individual 🧍 factors and overlooked influential neighborhood 📷factors that may help mitigate the PTSD development

Our latest study showing how #racism can affect accelerated biological aging through increased rumination-related network activation
JAMA Network Open@JAMANetworkOpen13 Jun 2024
Data highlight how racial discrimination may increase involvement of networks involved with rumination & internalization of emotion, & suggest associations between racial discrimination–related neural connectivity alterations & accelerated cellular aging. ja.ma/4b1xMME
