Working on your schedule for #OHBM2026? Save some energy for the last day to discuss the latest in precision imaging of the infant brain with @reznikdaniel.bsky.social, Jucha Willers Moore from @kingspfig.bsky.social and @camerontellis.bsky.social!

Chenonceau: mesoscopic MRI deep phenotyping of a post-mortem human brain at 7 and 11.7 Tesla https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.26.726838v1

New preprint from the lab! Led by @martingell.bsky.social . There is something for everyone: brain-behavior prediction, latent variable modeling, test-retest reliability. 🧠📈📊 "Disentangling Brain-Psychopathology Associations: A Systematic Evaluation of Transdiagnostic Latent Factor Models"

This is your brain on Ritalin. Got your attention? Stimulant medications like Ritalin (methylphenidate) do, but not in the way you might think. They don't act directly on the brain’s attention systems! Find out what's really happening in @cellpress.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Had a great time with Gonzalo Rivera and @crimoral.bsky.social and many others at the SimNIBS workshop. A lot of discussion on #TMS, #tDCS, and #tACS!

Announcing the next AFNI Bootcamp: Sep 23-25, 2025. Free, open & virtual. This "Part 1" will focus on basic visualization and single subject FMRI processing, including discussions of alignment, templates, regression, ROIs and quality control. Details & registration: afni.nimh.nih.gov/bootcamp

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... 🐣👶🧠

I still get chills Meet Mike *30+ years severe depression *first hospitalized @ 13y *20 meds *3 rounds of ECT *2 near-fatal suicide attempts Mike felt joy for the first time in decades after we turned on his new brain pacemaker or PACE see videos, read paper, follow thread doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41... We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance 1/

so I am one of the 12 people (including the “god-fathers of AI”) that will be at the Vatican this September for a two full-day working group on the Future of AI here is my Vatican approved short provocation on 'AI and Fraternity' for the working group

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

1/11 Excited to share our @Naturestudy led by @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social AI performance is known to scale with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements... doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We have argued that the brain’s Action Mode Network controls functions required for goal-directed behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Now, in new work, we show that AMN contains distinct subnetworks for making decisions, implementing actions, and processing feedback. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Alert!!!! “An Action Networks Model for Pain” We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it. 👉 thread below 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

OK, It is not just the HBCD release... docs.hbcdstudy.org It’s the ABCD Release time too! docs.abcdstudy.org nbdc-datahub.org That means the ABCC 3.0.0 is live!!! The largest release yet from the ABCD-BIDS Community Collection. This is going to be fun!! 👇 Let’s dig in.

My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Báez-Yáñez, Petridou et al: Impact of vascular architecture, oxygen saturation, and hematocrit on human cortical depth-dependent GE- and SE-BOLD fMRI signals: A simulation approach using realistic 3D vascular networks doi.org/10.1162/imag...

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠

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.

Taking full advantage of new advances in brain imaging technology will require more collaboration between engineers and neuroscientists, writes @lauradata.bsky.social in the latest for our human neurotechnology series. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/human-neurot...
