Ecstatic about my science AND art being featured in @biologicalpsych.bsky.social CNNI's current issue with @northernthrux.bsky.social painting on the cover and our exciting @theabcdstudy.bsky.social article completed with @catherinealebel.bsky.social www.biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org/current

We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/.... How did we do?

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

A method for capturing neuronal activity using fMRI excited the neuroimaging field but couldn’t be replicated. Today, the authors of the original paper retracted their work. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/retraction/a...

Science is self correcting. Finally!

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

Check out this great thread on a fresh preprint by @hyolee.bsky.social ! 🤩 Hyo led a new study where we & our fab collaborators take a closer look at sex differences in human cortical volume …

this is wild - i was aware of Mary-Claire King's absurdly important discoveries on BRCA / inherited breast cancer but I had no idea that her first PhD paper (King & Wilson 1975, Science, not bad lol) is the "99% of protein coding shared btwn chimps and humans" result www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

💔 It is with great sadness that I report the passing of my Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. Peter Allen from Alzheimer’s. His trainees (and their trainees and their trainees and their trainees) are still making a mark in the world of in-vivo magnetic resonance. 🇨🇦 www.remembering.ca/obituary/pet...

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

New preprint from stellar IRTG PhD student Amelie Rauland + team on white matter bundle reconstruction! Shows that WM bundles can be reliably extracted from simple 32-direction dMRI & features predict cognition - huge potential for legacy and clinical data. Thread 👇 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

The Fourier transform is everywhere you look. It has helped scientists to study tides, detect gravitational waves, and develop radar and MRI technology. Here’s how it works.

Love Fourier Transforms! We use them a lot in our work. They are already such a huge part of our everyday lives. Our brains do Fourier Transforms! Nice piece here on some of the history of where they came from, how they work and applications. 🧪

Is precision functional brain imaging in babies possible? YES! We show this in not one but two new preprints out of WashU and @umn-midb.bsky.social! 1️⃣: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 2️⃣: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🐣👶🧠

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf... Website: j-rohrer.github.io/marginal-psy...

New paper alert! This paper describes the work that we have been doing in the last few years to create a software ecosystem for tractometry that is extensible, interoperable, and generally useful.

New evidence indicates the thalamus actively influences the timing and pattern of brain development, shaping plasticity in cortical regions throughout childhood and adolescence. doi.org/g9vd4x

Absolutely thrilled to share the 🌟 FIRST PAPER 🌟 from ACORN Lab! 🐿️ I’m beyond proud of all-star grad student @heatherarobinson.bsky.social for this review of “exposome” effects on neurodevelopment & cognition! Paper here rdcu.be/ezUqx & thread below 👇 /1 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #devsky #cogdev

38 research teams analyzed the same fNIRS data...Really nice visualization of the variety of processing pipelines people use from Meryem Yücel, Rob Luke, et al.: "fNIRS reproducibility varies with data quality, analysis pipelines, and researcher experience" www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Integrating and interpreting brain maps | doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

The latest paper from my PhD is now out in Nature Human Behavior! rdcu.be/edRwQ

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n
