معرفی
Linn B. Norbom is a researcher at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway, and affiliated with the PROMENTA Research Center and NORMENT, Institute of Clinical Medicine. Her work focuses on the intersection of socioeconomic status (SES), cortical brain structure, and child psychopathology, utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques such as linked independent component analysis (LICA) and gray/white-matter contrast (GWC) metrics.
Research interests include environmental influences on brain development, SES-related neurobiological markers, and multimodal neuroimaging. Her recent study in the ABCD Study® cohort (n=9,758) identified associations between parental education/income and cortical surface area, GWC, and localized thickness patterns, with implications for mental health disparities.
Key methodological contributions involve harmonizing neuroimaging data across multiple scanners using neuroCombat and analyzing vertex-wise cortical metrics to uncover SES-driven variations beyond traditional unimodal approaches. Collaborations span institutions like the University of Pittsburgh and K.G. Jebsen Center for Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
