Cédric Koolschijn
In his current work he is involved in (longitudinal) studies of cognitive control from childhood to early adulthood, focusing on structural and functional analyses. The application of multimodal and longitudinal MRI protocols is relevant for a better understanding of (developmental) brain changes and provides a new strategy for the detection and characterization of subtle structural and functional alterations in defined regions of the living brain.

Kiki Zanolie
Kiki Zanolie joined the Brain and Development Lab in January 2012. She received her M.Sc. in Biological and Cognitive Psychology in 2005 at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. After obtaining her Masters degree she worked for two years as a research assistant in the Brain & Development lab, under supervision of Dr. Eveline Crone. During this time she was interested in the neural mechanisms underlying feedback processing. In the first half of 2012 she will receive her PhD degree. She studied, from an embodied cognition viewpoint, how people represent abstract concepts by means of conceptual metaphors. She used psychophysiological measures, such as ERPs and eye-tracking. Now, in the B&D lab she is interested in the neural responses to social rejection in bargaining situations and will mainly conduct ERP research.

Cédric joined the Brain and Development Lab as a postdoctoral researcher in September 2009. He received his M.A. in biopsychology in 2005 at Utrecht University, and obtained his PhD degree in Neuroscience at the University Medical Center in Utrecht in 2009. Cédric started his PhD project in 2005 at the department of psychiatry of the University Medical Center Utrecht. The thesis called “Brainstorm” explored structural brain abnormalities in schizophrenia and depression.
Jiska joined the Brain and Development Lab in 2011. She investigates the contribution of sex steroid hormones to brain morphology in healthy children and adults.
