- Beth just published two papers in Journal of Affective Disorders. These studies suggest regional gray and white matter differences that may increase risk for suicide attempts in adolescents with mood disorders. She co-authored a manuscript looking at neural correlates of having a past suicide attempt in adolescents/ young adults and was the lead author on a manuscript that look at neural predictors of future suicide attempts and longitudinal changes in gray and white matter associated with developing suicide-related behavior.
