Ever wondered how white matter tracts actually map onto the cortical hierarchy and cognition—beyond the usual “projection vs association” labels? Our new preprint tackles exactly that! 🧠✨ doi.org/10.64898/202... Thread below 🧵

Congratulations @joelleba.bsky.social! This is really outstanding work! 🎉

Our paper on the ☀️ "summer slide" 🛝 is out now @pnas.org! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Summer slide is a replicable phenomenon across diverse datasets that's more than "forgetting" school material in vacation months, but effects of socioeconomic inequality are ➡️ 7x bigger! ⬅️ #PsychSciSky #DevPsy 🧵👇

🧠I am excited to announce that our manuscript introducing a new data resource – PennLEAD (Penn Longitudinal Executive functioning in Adolescent Development) – is now available on bioRxiv. Below are some details highlighting our data resource🧵funded by NIMH R01MH113550 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just published! ✨ Across 15+ timepoints, we found that unpredictability in economic hardship – not only severity – shapes young children’s self-regulation. Understanding these dynamics can help us design supports that promote stability and adaptive development. 👉 bit.ly/4oIZO75

📣 I am excited to be recruiting PhD students to my lab in Psychology and Neuroscience at UGA! If you are applying for Fall 2026 and passionate about environmental effects on brain function, plasticity, and behavior development, consider joining me in Athens! psychology.uga.edu/how-apply-ou...

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

Delighted to see the paper describing the Reproducible Brain Charts open data resource now out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social. Paper + link to data below; huge congrats to @goliashf.bsky.social @milhammichael.bsky.social and the whole RBC team. Lots of people (>2,500 downloads) are already using RBC!

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...

Interested in the development of vision and the brain in the first years of life? The BCD Lab is expecting to hire a postdoc and a lab coordinator/tech in the coming months! Send me an email if interested and I’ll make sure to send you the job postings once open!

Sounds like there are no active discourse on here at the moment 🤔 🧐 🤫 so maybe it's a good time to share two readings I find very helpful. Both are about causal inference. First, "Causal inference on human behaviour" This is a re-read for me, but it's still good second time. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Teachers, parents, and everyone: You should know Frontiers for Young Minds! It's a terrific (free) online journal with cutting-edge science articles, written for different age groups. Scientists write. *Kids* are the reviewers. Available in 5 languages. kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

hey -- i'm hiring a postdoc! the ad will be up shortly, but looking for someone with network neuroscience experience (very broadly). the position isn't tied to any specific project/grant, so lots of flexibility in terms of what you'd actually *do*. hmu if you might be interested/want to learn more!

I'm hiring a full-time lab manager / research tech for my new psychology lab at Boston University, to start this summer (July 2025)! The lab's research focuses on understanding developmental changes in learning, memory, and exploration. More details here: cldlab.org/join/ 🧠💻 #psychscisky

We're launching Devstart, a website to help anyone getting started with developmental science methods and programming. Here's the website with the first tutorials: tommasoghilardi.github.io/DevStart/ Please share widely! 1/4

For all my friends who study brain & mind functions, do you take a thing or a process approach? Object recognition is very thing-like. Memory of the type “remember X” is too. Adaptation, continual learning, & meta-learning are all processes. I you took one step toward process, what might it be?

Do we need another starter pack? I'm erring on the side of yes. go.bsky.app/GVMZMcB

Beyond excited about this!!!! Major improvements + development to QSIPrep/QSIRecon make it better than ever. Massive kudos to the whole supergroup at @pennlinc.bsky.social and around the globe, led by dMRI+ neuroinformatics hero @cieslakmatt.bsky.social. Let us know what you think!!

We're excited to release new versions of our BIDS-Apps for processing and analyzing #dmri data, QSIPrep and QSIRecon! Our team has been working hard to prepare these pipelines to process infant data and bring them in line with the @nipreps.bsky.social ecosystem. #neuroimaging #nipreps #bids 1/10
