Ebba Widegren

I am a clinical psychologist with a PhD in neuroscience. I'm interested understanding typical and atypical developmental trajectories as well as mental health from childhood to adulthood, from a neuropsychological perspective. 

My PhD work focused on how brain development relates to psychological functions across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Specifically, I studied the neurobiological underpinnings of emotion regulation and fear conditioning across development, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). 

 

My current research focuses on developmental psychology, with a focus on neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, as well as the effects of digital media on child development and mental health.
