Thank you @caterinagratton.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to this! Fascinating to dive into the causes and consequences of individual differences in brain organization.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization? @rodbraga.bsky.social and I dig in, in @annualreviews.bsky.social (ahead of print): go.illinois.edu/Gratton2025-... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #MedSky 🧵👇

Really compelling evidence in humans for network propagation hypothesis of tau spread: individualized connectivity helps resolve individualized tau patterns. #MedSky #neuroskyence #neurosky #alzsky #compneuro #ai #datascience #bioinformatics #neurology

does brain connectivity drive spread of pathological proteins in Alzheimer’s disease? ✨ preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... if the question intrigues you, please read on 🧵⤵️

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼

Your brain is unique! 🧠 If you're curious to see more individual-level fMRI at #CNS2026, please consider voting for our symposium "Not Your Average Brain" by end of day today! 🍁 #neuroskyence #cogpsyc #cogsci #PsychSciSky #neuroimaging @cogneuronews.bsky.social

Kudos to everyone who shares their materials! I aspire to do this but have not done as well as I'd like. @laurelgd.bsky.social is inspirational in this regard. 👏

I’m scheduled for surgery today on my Achilles tendon, followed by 2 weeks of no weight bearing.😵‍💫 So, like any good scientist, I got together 7 colleagues to study consequences of limb disuse. Introducing the HEALING study with @laurelgd.bsky.social @sneuroble.bsky.social @briemreid.bsky.social

🚨 New Crofts lab paper🚨 Functional metagenomic libraries let us study bacterial genes 🧫🧬 from microbiomes💩, even if they've never been annotated with a function before 📒. However, these libraries often require more metagenomic DNA than is available from some samples.

ANSWER: 0 (yes, ZERO!) This is a result of an analysis done by a student in my grad seminar, using a large dataset (N=307,313). What this result might mean: Nobody's personality is truly "average," and people's personality profiles (at least Big 5) might be more "jagged" than we think. (🧵 1/5)

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

🔥ATTENTION!🔥 Registration for the 2026 Noosa Brain Workshop is now open! Join us for some amazing science, sun, and surf in one of Australia's most beautiful beach towns. Details: tinyurl.com/arbc5pp6 Check out or incredible list of confirmed speakers. More to come...

Amazing news! Thanks to strong support from the community, we are able to reduce publication fees!

I want to do a session on principles of designing scientific figures with my lab. Any recommendation for good online material? #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging

👶🧠!

It was a great pleasure to write this for NHB. Thank you for the opportunity! #neuroscience #consciousness #psychscisky

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Love seeing strong evidence that network borders matter. Matches our weird 2024 finding (doi.org/10.1093/cerc...). Boundaries aren’t just lines. They may be where the action is!

The lateral prefrontal cortex 🧠— which we think of as critical for goal driven behavior + is a target for psychiatric treatments— is fundamentally different in individuals relative to the group averages we’ve often studied. 👇see preprint and thread, led by Zach Ladwig #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

An amazing milestone made possible by our awesome community! 🎉

A gaggle of STAT's science reporters wrote about what the new Trump EO on federal grants means for researchers and the NIH The bottom line is that it "turns science into an instrument for partisan gain" as @scott-delaney.bsky.social put it www.statnews.com/2025/08/08/t...

If you want to add something fun to your experience at OHBM in Brisbane, take part in this competition! All invited! We are judging more on the skill in presenting and communicating and less on the content.

We got what I believe to be close to a "perfect" NSF score after our first submission--three "Excellent" reviews, highly competitive. The only minor weakness was that we could reduce our budget. It won't be funded. There is no path forward. I'm devastated.
