Join us next July in Panama!! #FITNG2025 --> 2026 🌴🤓

Congratulations to our poster winners!! #FITNG2025 closing ceremony 💫

Dr. Jessica Gemignani asks how speech is special by presenting newborns speech and monkey vocalizations during simultaneous fNIRS-EEG! 💬🚨⚡️ #FITNG2025

Dr. Tineke Snijders examines how individual differences in EEG relate to language processing at both slow and fast timescales! 🕐⚡️🧠 #FITNG2025

Using the baby connectome project (an amazing resource!) and correlational tractography, Dr. Alex Dufford @ajdneuro.bsky.social links white matter to measures of anxiety in both infants and older children! #FITNG2025

Dr. Victoria Leong kicks off our last session of the day on Social, Emotional, and Language Development by discussing her exciting work on the Parent-Child Interactome! 👩‍👧🧠👶 #FITNG2025

Poster session ending soon! We are getting ready for our last session of the day #FITNG2025

Closing out the session is @janelleliu.bsky.social sharing her work on trimester-specific and dose-related effects of prenatal opioid exposure on infant neurodevelopmental trajectories measured with MRI 🧠👶🧲 #FITNG2025

Siân Wilson presented on the developing brain AND heart! She investigated how congenital heart disease relates to cortical folding in the prenatal period using MRI 🧠❤️🧲 #FITNG2025

Yanbin Niu leveraged diffusion MRI from large infant cohorts to understand microstructural properties of the developing brain and associations with early psychopathology risk 👶🧲🧠 #FITNG2025

We are looking forward to a great talk from Dr. James Boardman on the gut-brain-axis during our Clinical Questions session! #FITNG2025 🧠🦠👶

Hot topics were discussed in our Think Tank groups this morning! From what innovative methods need developing to are we only scanning chill babies, conversations were flowing!! We hope everyone got something out of it #FITNG2025

Claire Njoo @cnjoodeplante.bsky.social finds beautiful multivariate decoding of different phonetic features in 3 month olds using EEG during sleep!

Dr. Isabella Mariani Wigley shows how the brains of neonates, infants, and toddlers respond to affective touch in the FinnBrain cohort!

Dr. M. Catalina Camacho @catcamacho.bsky.social presents new data on how different measures of prenatal anxiety and depression influence neonatal sensory processing in the brain!

Starting off the morning session: Dimitrios Metaxas shows how it will be possible to study social cognition in fetuses!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Trainee Social, we had a blast and hope you did too! ☘️ See you bright and early for day 2 of #fitng2025

Join the FIT'NG Trainee Committee at the Porterhouse Temple Bar for the annual Trainee Social - all are welcome #fitng2025

Final Talk of the Day: Dr. Parvaneh Adibpour combines the advantages of EEG and MRI (simultaneously!) to uncover how the infant brain represents sound sequences! #fitng2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Day 1 of #FITNG2025! 👏 😇 If you want to keep building community, fill out these google forms so we can highlight the work that you do! #FITNGmember (docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...) #DayintheLab (docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...)

Cliona O'Doherty present pioneering work relating awake infant fMRI data to adults and computational models of vision, with strong correspondence at 2 months of age!

Dr. Anna Truzzi shares her fascinating findings on how baby brains exhibit longer timescales using both MRI and EEG!

Lovely and expansive work from Dr. Karla Holmboe on the development of both hot and cold executive function in the early years!

Shelby Leverett shares her findings on associations between prenatal cannabis exposure, neonatal white matter microstructure and infant temperament.

@mariesantillo.bsky.social shows that 2 month old infant show significant activity in the MD cortex which is different from 9 month olds and independent of visual complexity

Last session of the day, but not least! The Cognitive Development session featuring Dr. Karla Holmboe starts now!

Leonie Leohn is inspired by how motivated mums are to take part in fetal neuroimaging studies!

Cable Williams investigates the Neural correlates of social vs non social touch

Fetal Neuroimaging: Johannes Tischer presents Conditional Fetal Atlas Learning for Real-Time Tissue Segmentation

Infant Neuroimaging: Marlena Baldauf presents data showing that infant brains tick at 4Hz and Clara Conyngham presents data showing that structural connections predict later category representations.

Poster Session 1 is kicking off in Hyde Suite 2, come say hi and learn about the cutting edge of FIT neuroimaging research!!

🌟Great to see Presidents Marisa Spann & Koraly Perez Edgar (@drkoraly.bsky.social) from FIT’NG & ISDP (@isdp.org) catching up! #FITNG2025

Poster session 1 starting NOW! Come explore fresh ideas, meet fellow researchers, and fuel up for the afternoon.👩‍🔬☕️🤓🧠✨ #FITNG2025

Dr. Margot Taylor is giving an inspiring talk about how to expand the frontiers of neuroimaging in toddlers with wearable OPM-MEG (Optically Pumped Magnetometer - Magnetoencephalography) 🧠 @sickkidsto.bsky.social #FITNG2025

Welcome back! Next is our 🔑 Keynote Presentation by Dr. Margot Taylor: "Expanding the frontiers of neuroimaging in toddlers with wearable OPM-MEG." 🧠✨ #FITNG2025

Lunch with Professors is well underway! This is the first year we are holding this trainee-led event and we hope everyone is having super fruitful conversations! #FITNG2025

Calling all FIT'NG Trainees: Come have lunch with 11 leaders in our field, including 4 of our invited speakers, at 12.15pm - right after this session! Walk-ins are welcome.

Finally in the Methods session, Dr Huili Sun just showed us how the measure of brain network controllability is evolving over the fetal and neonatal stages - Preprint available! #FITNG2025

Just now in the Methods session: Dr Chiara Capparini presented a hot topic at #FITNG2025: OPM-MEG for fetal imaging!

HAPPY FIT’NG !! so excited to be here !! 👶🧠💻 #fitng2025

Truly exciting work by Nina Treder on an overlooked yet vulnerable brain structure during development: the cerebellum! #FITNG2025
