Was great to attend the @gairdnerawards.bsky.social Gala representing @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social last night! Great to celebrate basic science and meet old friends and make new ones!

Lefort-Besnard and Pron et al. present a survey and review on current infrastructures for sharing human neuroimaging data in the EU: doi.org/10.52294/001... @cmaumet.bsky.social @ohbmossig.bsky.social #OpenDatasets #SpecialIssue

So excited for my friend, colleague, and all-around superstar of a human-being. Keep your eyes 👀 open. There's clearly so much awesome that will spring forward from this move.

Exciting news for #drosophila #connectomics and #neuroscience enthusiasts: the Drosophila male central nervous system connectome is now live for exploration. Find out more at the landing page hosted by our Janelia FlyEM collaborators www.janelia.org/project-team....

Just a 🔥study by @hyolee.bsky.social and @bogglerapture.bsky.social on morphological sex diffs and their mechanistic basis. Important findings and cool methods.

7. I thank all study participants and the team! @bogglerapture.bsky.social, @konradwagstyl.bsky.social, @mallarchak.bsky.social, @coevolvinglab.bsky.social + others not on BlueSky. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.10.675377 Also…

Humans show reproducible sex differences in regional cortical volume but what are their morphological and mechanistic bases? Our new preprint approaches this question by separate analysis of cortical volume, area and thickness, and examining data from rare patient cohorts 👀 🧵⬇️

Healthy scientific communities—built on open, engaged communication—are ready to take on the next challenges facing broader society. Had a blast writing this piece with @dupre.science and @alfiewearn.bsky.social. Many thanks to the other past @ohbm-com.com chairs for their feedback and support!

So excited to give this a read! I've seen @gozziale.bsky.social present this work and it's just so elegant!

Great 1st day at #AAIC25! We're here for the rest of the week, stop by our @touchscreencog.bsky.social booth that's located in the Canadian Pavilion. 🎉 @maximoprado.bsky.social @westernubrainscan.bsky.social @lisasaksida.bsky.social @timbussey.bsky.social @tcnlab.bsky.social @pradobsky.bsky.social

come by @tridentpct.bsky.social and @touchscreencog.bsky.social #AAIC25 and get your free strawberry milkshake (just the ones out mice get when they do their touchscreen tasks). Learn about touchscreen testing in mice and humans and the TRIDENT pipeline.

Look at this world-class crew! 😍 So excited to see resident TRIDENT experts @maximoprado.bsky.social and Dr. Vania Prado stop by and say hi! #AAIC25 #NFRF

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🧠 🧬 ♊️

Honoured to have been awarded the Vanier Scholarship — pretty psyched about it. Big thanks to everyone who’s helped me get here!

What a dream team on this!!! Experimental evidence for sex-specific responses to stress in mice with fabulous downstream characterization. Congrats @mallarchak.bsky.social @rcbagot.bsky.social Liz Portillo and co !!!! 🤩💪🏽

Really excited to share this new preprint on the dynamics of alpha-synuclein spreading by Dr. Stephanie Tullo in our group. This was a long term labour of love spanning the pandemic, experimental work, and in silico modelling www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... See more below ⬇️

Our findings suggest that repeating single studies with small samples will never converge on a robust neuroanatomical phenotype. Data sharing/pooling can help, but we may also need to rethink our diagnoses/phenotypes. Big thanks to the team! Manuscript: medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by Trang Cao in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @nsb-lab.bsky.social

HOW MANY BRAIN MAPPERS can you recognise? More Celebrity Neuroscientist Sightings @OHBM @ohbmofficial.bsky.social (Part 2!). 1⃣PT, Boris Bernhardt, neuropsych person (I’m sorry I forgot!); Michael Breakspear; Kangjoo Lee; Alan Evans, Stephen Strother 2⃣PT, Aina Puce, Hugh Garavan; 👇

This was such a great and inspiring talk. So great to see a clear demonstration of what animal imaging can tell us about the human condition.

After 3 years of "just one more analysis", our work on WMH pathophysiology is finally out! Building on previous post-mortem findings of non-vascular WMHs, we identified a specific signature of neurodegenerative WMHs in vivo using microstructural MRI and normative modeling doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Every time I thought this paper was done @oparent.bsky.social came up with one more analysis to support his work. And then I thought it was done done. And then he came up with another analysis. And then .... (you get the idea). This is original and creative stuff. Congrats @oparent.bsky.social !
