| We offer bachelor theses options in the field of developmental neuroscience (i.e., in typically developing children or children with developmental and mental health disorders). Topics may include: Learning and the brain, brain plasticity, neuronal correlates of socioemotional skill development from kindergarten to adolescence; emotion regulation, theory of mind, language, reading, dyslexia, conduct disorder; paediatric neuroimaging (methods & protocols); relationship between speech and socioemotional processing; biobehavioral synchrony; intergenerational neuronal similarity, socioemotional disorders (e.g. disruptive behaviour disorder, aggression, conduct disorder), the reading brain, developmental dyslexia or the topic of replicability and reproducibility of developmental research studies, science communication & outreach. |

Beschreibung: How do social brains develop and how do social relations shape our brains? In this thesis, the fundamental processes of human brain development are discussed in relation to human relationships (parents, siblings, peers, etc.) in order to review current knowledge about how our cognition or affect develops in relation to the social experiences we make.

Beschreibung: Theory of Mind (ToM) or mentalizing is a basic social skill which is characterized by our ability of perspective-taking and the understanding of cognitive and emotional states of others. ToM development is essential to successfully navigate in various social contexts. The neural basis of mentalizing is well-studied in adults, however, less evidence exists in children. This bachelor thesis will summarize the existing evidence on fMRI studies investigating mentalizing or Theory of Mind in childhood and adolescence. Investigations will further target both healthy development and the neural correlates of mentalizing in children and adolescence with neuropsychiatric diagnosis.

Beschreibung: Socioemotional abilities represent different skill sets of social and emotional functioning. These skills are fundamental to our every day life and associated with our physical and psychological well-being. Socioemotional skill acquisition starts early in life and strongly rely on early social experiences such as caregiver-child relationships or dyadic learning. What are the intergenerational transfer effects on emotion processing and emotion regulation? What are the intergenerational transfer effects on emotion processing and regulation as observed in a child's behavior? What are the intergenerational transfer effects on emotion processing and regulation as observed in a child's biology? What are the function of intergenerational transfer effects and how are these connected to adaptive and maladaptive functioning, particularly during stressful life events? What are the intergenerational transfer effects on socioemotional functioning in children when their parents have to deal with challenging life circumstances? These are just some of the questions that could be chosen to being elaborated more on in a bachelor thesis.
