Hot off the press! We found that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) induces a previously undescribed, second brain event after seizure, called cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), using optical neuroimaging in both a mouse model to human patients. 🧵 below! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Tippy top-drawer classic-in-the-making developmental neuroimaging from @audreycluo.bsky.social @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social and team. These are fundamental patterns being unearthed here with wide impact for the field. Congrats y’all !!! 🤩

🤯 WM development is not uniform! 1. there’s a deep-to-superficial axis, superficial tract regions near cortical surface exhibit greater age-related change. 2. this aligns with cortical hierarchy defined by sensorimotor-association axis; tract ends adjacent to sensorimotor cortices mature earlier.

Stunning new work by a rising star in the field! Check out @audreycluo.bsky.social’s great thread below 👇 #neuroimaging #neuroskyence #PsychSciSki

Great thread by @audreycluo.bsky.social, summarizing her excellent preprint on white matter development 👇🧪🧠

This work has really changed the way I think about this data and about brain development. I hope it will make us all think more about these kinds of details and links between different aspects of the brain. I am incredibly proud and grateful for this collaboration with Audrey et al.!

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

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

I've been involved with this project since the very beginning and am very happy with how it ultimately turned out. The curation and processing was absolutely painstaking. Congratulations @goliashf.bsky.social on an excellent paper!!

Beyond thrilled to see the RBC paper out— massive congrats to @goliashf.bsky.social and the whole RBC team at @pennlinc.bsky.social + @childmindinstitute.bsky.social (led with Mike Milham)+ the many many collabs that made RBC possible.

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Do you work on surface MRI such as HCP data? Our paper is finally out in Imaging Neuroscience, showing biases in surface fMRI. The revised ms has many new insights! TLDR: Vertices are much closer to each other in sulci, resulting in (fake) high spatial autocorrelation. (1/5)

Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers? With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

Don’t miss the new blogpost in our OHBM award winner series! Prof. Alex Fornito (@alexfornito.bsky.social), 2024 OHBM Mentor Award winner, shares his insights on mentorship, neuroscience, and more. Read it here: bit.ly/4f8Cdr9 Thanks to authors @audreycluo.bsky.social, @ashleytyrer.bsky.social

Here's a starter pack of researchers studying the effects of hormones on the brain with #neuroimaging. Thanks to @sheilashanmugan.bsky.social @angielaird.bsky.social @62442katieb.bsky.social and Laura Pritschet for filling it in. If you want to be added, just reply to this post and I'll add you.

Let's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Congratulations again, @arokem.org!! It was so fun thinking about these questions and even more fun hearing from you!
