Nice article on our recent Nature Mental Health paper: www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Thrilled to share our latest paper, out recently in Nature Mental Health. "Optimizing functional connectivity scanning conditions for predicting autistic traits" www.nature.com/articles/s44... 1/n

I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a powerful tool to study white matter maturation. In our new preprint, we process and distribute a new resource of >24,000 ABCD dMRI scans using open source tools! We then evaluate how methods shape inferences about development. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Incredible work by the absolutely stellar @bsevchik.bsky.social and @parkersingleton.bsky.social — the second installment of our open-science living meta-analysis of psychedelics for mental health.

And here's our second installment of sypres.io, co-led by the brilliant @bsevchik.bsky.social !!

This paper has been a long time coming. Instead of reanalyzing the same old resting-state fMRI datasets, we combined nearly all datasets around the world. Note that we didn't exactly find indisputable evidence for "default mode network disintegration." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Beyond delighted to see this paper -- our first from the SYPRES initiative -- now out at @natmentalhealth.nature.com. Check out Parker's awesome thread below, w/ links to dashboard + all code + data.

Excited that this is officially out there in the world. Check out the dashboard and visualizations! Huge shout out to Parker and Brooke, who led this herculean effort. More to come!

🍄 Our new living systematic review and meta-analysis on psilocybin for depression is out now in Nature Mental Health. Here's what we found and the open science infrastructure we built to support it 🧵 Open-Access Link: rdcu.be/fbU5V

hello

boop

What makes brains (un)conscious? We provide new answers—and a universal mammalian blueprint for information processing—in a cross-species study of humans, macaques, marmosets & mice. Exploring convergent breakdown of integration in: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Led by @loopyluppi.bsky.social

Happy to have been a part of yet another tour de force led by the one and only @loopyluppi.bsky.social !

The 6x US memory champion – Nelson Dellis – can memorize a deck of cards in 40 seconds and knows the first 10K digits of pi. To figure out how, he let us peak inside his brain. Here is what we learned in our precision brain mapping study www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... youtube.com/shorts/MryMq...

Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7

🧠 Resting-state fMRI is often treated as the gold standard for studying the brain’s intrinsic organization. But is it actually the best way to estimate functional architecture? We tested this directly. 🧵1/8

We think of white matter as the highways of the brain. But when we followed development along those highways, we were surprised. The journey is more complex than we thought. My final PhD paper, “Two Axes of White Matter Development”, is now out in @natcomms.nature.com! 🛣️🧠✨ 🔗 bit.ly/wm2axes

Every participant had a MEQ-30 score of 150: youtu.be/-c9-poC5HGw?...

My first preprint is out! Thank you to my brilliant collaborators & mentors for making this possible @vmarchman.bsky.social @arokem.org @jyeatman.bsky.social, as well as everyone behind the awesome open source software that we use @pennlinc.bsky.social @cieslakmatt.bsky.social (& many not on bsky)

My Neighbour Totoro is I think the only movie I can think of that has a compelling plot for kids that does not involve a villain.

Another important one for psychedelics fMRI ppl: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

💊 🍸 Risk for substance use disorder (SUD) rises in adolescence. Family history and biological sex play major roles in a person's level of SUD risk. New evidence suggests neural markers of SUD may exist before substance use starts - yet how these markers differ across sexes is not understood.

🧠I am excited to announce that our manuscript introducing a new data resource – PennLEAD (Penn Longitudinal Executive functioning in Adolescent Development) – is now available on bioRxiv. Below are some details highlighting our data resource🧵funded by NIMH R01MH113550 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

After years of development and testing, we are happy to present our work in "Diffusion MRI Processing in the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study: Innovations and Applications"! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... A thread:

Strongest data yet suggesting that repeated MDMA use causes deficits in declarative memory (e.g., memory for new information, words, etc). #psychedelicscience #MDMA 10.1093/brain/awaf391

Hot off the press!

🚨 New science alert! Our cross-species study, now in Nature Neuroscience, demonstrates psychedelics distort how we should interpret functional brain imaging. 👇🧵 nature.com/articles/s41... #Neuroscience #Psychedelics #BrainImaging

If you agree to review a paper, you should send it in on time. You're holding a spot and slowing up the whole process if you don't.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Amazing stuff here from @goliashf.bsky.social and the RBC team! Harmonized and curated imaging and phenotype data from over 6,000 youth easily accessible without any DUA. Check it out.

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/...

I'm near certain sLFOs are big for psychedelics.

Since July 21st, we have a good reason to celebrate the summa cum laude Defense of the newly minted Dr. Hettwer who received her PhD from @hhu.de under the supervision of Prof. Simon Eickhoff @sbe.bsky.social with strongest support of Dr. Sofie Valk! Congratulations Meike!!!🥂👏🏻🥁🎊

"Spatiotemporal asymmetries on brain energy landscape uncover system entrapment related to depression severity" www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

✨ New paper ✨ in JAMA Pediatrics! We discuss how understanding the timing ⏰ of stressful events relative to neurodevelopment can help us better identify risk factors (looking backward) and predict future psychopathology (looking forward) at the individual level #neuroskyence #devpsych #PsychSciSky

Is it possible to manipulate a high-level visual property while holding ~all low-level visual properties constant? “No!”, you say. Allow @talboger.bsky.social to show you otherwise! Now in press @currentbiology.bsky.social 🐇🐘

Just delighted to see this out in the world !! This is the first installment of SYPRES -- our living meta-analysis + open data resource focused on psychedelics. Led by the incomparable @parkersingleton.bsky.social and @bsevchik.bsky.social. Check it out + and give us your feedback!!!

@audreycluo.bsky.social has had one of the most impressive graduate careers I've ever seen. Kudos!!!!

Somehow we got almost all the students and postdocs in one photo!! Until next time #GRCPsychedelics 🫡

So happy the first #GRCPsychedelics was such a success. It was great to see everyone and share all the amazing science and community. Thank you to all the speakers and congratulations to the travel awardees!!

Great panel this morning on the human and clinical studies of psychedelics - my impression is we have come a long way in the last few years in terms of design and quantification #GRCPsychedelics

#GRCPsychedelics 🔥🔥🔥🔥poster session and our first ever Honorary Best PI poster award to @zenbrainest.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Science together climb together - sneaked out with fellow #GRCPsychedelics attendees for a quick session 💪

Good morning! An excellent panel today on the evolving theory for explaining psychedelic drug action #GRCPsychedelics

We systematically reviewed 23 in vitro and 26 in vivo electrophysiological studies on psychedelic compounds, with an emphasis on layer 5 pyramidal neurons. Our results challenge the simplified view that psychedelics uniformly increase cortical excitability www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Amazing work by @valeriejsydnor.bsky.social !!!!

yea, that random structure with a hypervalent nitrogen is definitely 5-meo-dmt
