1/Excited to share our new paper: Spatiotemporal dynamics of the human cortical functional hierarchy across the lifespan t.co/nCR62ldB50 @MingruiXia @YongHe @ShuyuLi @debinz.bsky.social @TengdaZhao......

Correlating brain maps across datasets is everywhere in neuroimaging. Here we ask: when you contextualize a brain map against genes, metabolism, or connectivity... What can you really conclude? How can we do better? We explore these questions here: tinyurl.com/2dudkevc

You have 10 minutes of task fMRI to map functional brain regions in an individual. Three decisions matter: How do you localize regions? Which tasks do you include? How do you arrange tasks in your experiment? Here, we tackle all three! Preprint👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 New paper in Nature Methods: HippoMaps: multiscale cartography of the human hippocampus Open-source tools & data to explore structure and function of the 🍤🧠 (histology, in/ex vivo MRI, iEEG) Led by @jordandekraker.bsky.social docs: hippomaps.readthedocs.io paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Excited to share that our work introducing the Reproducible Brain Charts (RBC) data resource is now published in Neuron!! 🎉 📚 Read the paper: authors.elsevier.com/c/1lpaF3BtfH... 🧠 Explore the RBC dataset: reprobrainchart.github.io

Epilepsy imaging-genetics paper is fresh off the press!

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Very proud to share this one🥹! We show that personalized signatures of brain activity are heritable and relate to the expression of specific genes. That means my brain-fingerprint is very similar to my twin brother's! #ResearchIsMeSearch🧠 🧬 ♊️

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A full day to talk gradients 🌈 join us!! 🚀

The gradients workshop is happening soon! Please join us on June 23rd in Brisbane for a full day of gradient fun! 🌈 ✅ Amazing speaker line up ✅ Poster presentation ✅ Flash talks for selected abstracts Deets on program, abstract submission, and registration 👉 gradients-workshop.github.io

open, multimodal, 7T MRI dataset led by @donnagift.bsky.social 🌟

Happening Thursday! 👇

Mark your calendars 📅 ✍️ for NEW's next webinar! 🕙 Feb 20th, 2025, 10AM-11:30AM EST 🌟 Three speakers sharing their recent work on neuroimaging of epilepsy 🤝 Panel and audience discussion 💻 Happening here: zoom.us/j/95048511341 🗣️ Please spread the word and share!

Amazing stuff led by superstar @alexngo.bsky.social ! 👇

"exhaust fumes" made it into the official abstract! hence completing the journey from an epiphenomenal shitpost blog to a full-blown review paper. all thanks to this cast of co-authors (esp. Sander), our TICS editor Lindsey Drayton, and two very engaged reviewers (@danielemarinazzo.bsky.social)

Coming to #AES2024? Why spend the last conference day sleeping in when you could come to the Neuroimaging SIG? See you at 7am Dec 10 if you're curious about applications of brain gradients in TLE to understand cognitive and clinical phenotypes! 🌈 🌅

Just in time for #AES2024, let's grow this list of epilepsy imagers! go.bsky.app/HnaoTqF

Very happy to see this one out in the world 😁 a joint endeavour with Val Kebets 🌟 We used PLS to identify components linking symptoms of psychopathology with multimodal imaging markers in the ABCD dataset Get all the deets 👉 elifesciences.org/articles/87992

New preprint! We discuss how gradients synergize domain expertise in neuroscience and more computational skillsets to improve our understanding of brain organization 🌈 🧠 ✨ 👇👇👇 arxiv.org/abs/2402.11055 & stay tuned for gradient workshop registration, opening soon! gradients-workshop.github.io

New paper out in Nature Neuro, wherein we ask: How do perceptual and mnemonic brain networks share information? www.nature.com/articles/s41... Massive work with Ed Silson, Brenda Garcia, and @carolinerobertson.bsky.social

Hippocampal-cortical interactions during event boundaries support retention of complex narrative events Officially out in Neuron with @charan-neuro.bsky.social Brendan Cohn-Sheehy, Mitchell Nguyen, Reesha Yadav, and James Spargo!: authors.elsevier.com/a/1i3703BtfH...
