Overview

Gregory McCarthy is affiliated with Yale University in the United States and primarily conducts research in psychology, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology. Their work spans several subfields including experimental and cognitive psychology, psychiatry and mental health, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

McCarthy's research emphasizes themes related to child and adolescent psychosocial and emotional development, functional brain connectivity, mental health, autism spectrum disorder, and cognitive processes involved in anxiety and depression. The scientist has also addressed topics relevant to child abuse and trauma, as well as face recognition and perception.

The primary venues for McCarthy's publications include UNC Libraries, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Biological Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, and Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Key papers authored or coauthored by McCarthy include:

  • Gender Differences in Cognitive and Neural Correlates of Remembrance of Emotional Words (2025), Psychopharmacology Bulletin
  • Large-scale functional brain networks of maladaptive childhood aggression identified by connectome-based predictive modeling (2021), Molecular Psychiatry
  • Sex differences in medial prefrontal and parietal cortex structure in children with disruptive behavior (2020), Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Threat-induced anxiety during goal pursuit disrupts amygdala-prefrontal cortex connectivity in posttraumatic stress disorder (2020), Translational Psychiatry
  • Amygdala-prefrontal connectivity in children with maladaptive aggression is modulated by social impairment (2021), Cerebral Cortex

Frequent collaborators in McCarthy's research include Karim Ibrahim, Denis G. Sukhodolsky, George He, Ayşenil Belger, and Kevin A. Pelphrey. These collaborators have contributed to multiple publications across several projects exploring neural correlates and brain connectivity related to behavioral and emotional development in children and adolescents.

The scientist's work integrates investigations of neural mechanisms and brain structures involved in cognitive and emotional processes, particularly focusing on disorders and behaviors in developing populations. This multidisciplinary approach incorporates insights from clinical psychology and neuroscience to explore developmental psychopathology and associated brain function abnormalities.
