Children whose brain structure more closely resembles their parent's psychosis-related brain patterns are more likely to develop psychiatric symptoms themselves, suggesting personalized, family-based brain comparisons could help predict who is most at risk for developing psychotic disorders.

It’s been an honour being invited as a keynote speaker for the @westernu.ca #BrainHack and the @utscbiology.bsky.social University and Beyond conference - best part was getting to know these bright students!

This is shaping up to be a great meeting, and it's been fun to organize! Hope many of you can join us in beautiful Banff in October!

A Comment article published in Communications Psychology argues that the rush to study AI is producing a feedback loop of topical and methodological convergence, flattening scientific imagination and crowding out the pluralism needed to keep research adaptive. 🧪 #ArtificialIntelligence

Congratulations to Madeson Todd on leading this paper through to the finish line! @catherinealebel.bsky.social @ucalgarymed.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu...

To celebrate my birthday today I released my favourite song and a music video my husband shot last summer : )

playing with the new low-field portable scanner @baycrest.bsky.social - tight quarters but would be fun to wheel this into a school or daycare!

Take my daughter to work day was way too much fun! @sickkidsto.bsky.social

The inaugural @tractography.bsky.social conference was a beautiful success!

The Application & Translation unit led by @catherinealebel.bsky.social , all smiles and sunshine in Bordeaux for the inaugural IST conference.

happy birthday boss!

So excited to hear about the research we can conduct as Neuronto - the coming together of @sickkidsto.bsky.social @kcnhub.bsky.social & @camhnews.bsky.social

Hi #canadian researchers - please sign this petition to help ensure funding isn’t cut to tri council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR). We’re looking at potential 15% cuts to ALL federal spending including grants win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

UofT Department of Medical Biophysics retreat with this incredible group of students - kudos to the organizers!!

so exciting to be here with SickKids - they are leading the way in precision child health!

World Suicide Prevention Day, thinking of my sweet cousin Lori.

surreal: first day at SickKids!!

Grant writing is like songwriting for nerds. We all tell stories and we all dream of hitting #1 on the charts.

Worth a quick read, especially if you are in neuroscience, even if you don't do fMRI.

What a wonderful symposium from synapses to systems! @canacn.bsky.social @catherinealebel.bsky.social

Don’t miss out on our symposium happening now in grand east @canacn.bsky.social @catherinealebel.bsky.social @jesperstromback.bsky.social

seems like i brought along some of the east coast fog to the @canacn.bsky.social meeting!

Pretty bummed about having to cancel the trip to ISMRM, I just didn't feel secure traveling. Thinking about our neighbours and hoping for brighter days ahead for science in the states.

So excited to hear the inspiring @vcalhoun.bsky.social speak about ‘dynamic signatures of mental health risk: neuroimaging signatures of psychosis and mood disorders’ shortly in the grand ballroom #SOBP2025

thank you to my industrious hackathon team member @juchiyu.bsky.social for snapping my picture! so happy to present our findings at #SOBP2025

so excited for today!

I am so excited and buzzing with ideas for my lab at SickKids - 5 month countdown is on. Surreal!

This paper is a huge one for me, taking years and years to get right. I can’t believe it’s finally out and I am so proud of the way it came together. Thank you to Dr Lebel for her unwavering support! www.biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org/article/S245...

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. https://go.nature.com/4bpG2It
