New paper by @jalilrt.bsky.social , @egarza.bsky.social and friends. "The effect of chronic stress and chronic alcohol intake on behavior, brain volume, and functional connectivity in a longitudinal rat model". doi.org/10.1093/brai...

Come to Querétaro!, we have tacos and science

This pipeline saved my PhD

The result of a large (42 authors!) collaboration: "Go Figure: Transparency in neuroscience images preserves context and clarifies interpretation" arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824 TL;DR: The FMRI world can (and should) improve results interpretation and reproducibility *today*, via transparent thresholding.

this happened today and this felt so good. Thanks @mallarchak.bsky.social and team!

New preprint by Cindy Lucero and Chloe Anastassiadis examining modifiable dementia risk factors (exercise and diet) in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This was led by former Bachelor student Débora Elizarrarás and postdoc César Carranza. Here we wanted to study structural brain changes in opiod self-administration. Specifically if there was a link between MRI volume and neuroinflamation.

The project I have been working on for 4 years. I stressed myself in the same way I stressed my rats, but at least they didn't become alcoholics. My advice of the day: it may seem like a good idea to consume alcohol when stressed, but it's not

The entire team behind the amazing scientific research at the cerebral imaging centre. Thanks to @mallarchak.bsky.social for hosting me during these months, and to @egarza.bsky.social to make it possible. I can't summarize everything I learned and the wonderful people I met during my stay. Thanks!!
