I GOT A FUTURE FELLOWSHIP !!! Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy !!!

Wow - thanks so much for highlighting our work !

For our next #OHBM2025 Keynote Interview, we spoke with Dr. Sharna Jamadar ( @sharnajamadar.bsky.social ) about metabolic brain networks, the neuroscience of parenthood, and building more inclusive spaces in science. 🎤 Read the interview here: www.ohbm-com.com/blog/a-conve...

Very much forward to this @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Pleased to share our latest preprint examining the impact of glucodynamic variability on cognition. Hamish Deery shows that it is not the size of the energy budget per se, but the dynamic use of glucose & its coherence into metabolic networks that are important for cognition. #neuroskyence

What does parenthood, depression, and psychedelics do to your brain? Very proud to see Winnie Orchard joining this stellar grp of Aussie neuros @lenaedibrainz.bsky.social @lucacocchineuro.bsky.social ky.social & @drbreaky.bsky.social for a FREE public lecture in June. @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

🧩New study: "Network Constraints on 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘰 Synaptic Alterations in Schizophrenia" medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We map a prominent brain-wide pattern of synaptic defects in people with Schizophrenia using PET, then model the molecular, cellular & connectomic features shaping this pattern 🧵1/3👇

🧵 How do psychedelics shape brain activity? Our new paper presents the largest neuroimaging study of psilocybin to date—revealing how context structures psychedelic brain states. Title: Psychedelics Align Brain Activity with Context Paper: lnkd.in/gt-kMR6d A thread 🧵👇 1/n

Congrats to Winnie Orchard & @sidchop.bsky.social on their new #ParentalBrain paper, now out in PNAS! They find evidence for the neuroprotective effect of parenthood for women AND men! 👩‍🍼👨‍🍼🧠 It's lovely work, and I'm proud to have played a tiny role in it. Read it here 👇 #neuroskyence #neuroimaging

Pleased to share our new #MetabolicConnectivity paper! We used #simultaneousPETMR to show that MC has ⬆️ utility for age & cognition prediction vs #fMRI FC. A bit surprising but it's more evidence of the utility of #fPET & MC as a measure of #BrainConnectivity 🧠⚛️ doi.org/10.1093/brai... #neuroskyence

The skills & time needed to collect imaging data is often undervalued eg study design, community engagement, inclusive recruitment & testing practices, listening to participants, data organization etc 1/

Proud to have been featured as one of the trailblazing Indian-Australian women in STEM in Victoria. I consider this a real achievement considering I am not Indian tinyurl.com/4hpprjcu

Our latest paper 'Reconfiguration of metabolic connectivity in ageing' is now out! We show that the brain's metabolic network declines in efficiency with age, and older adults use more of their energy budget to maintain this inefficient network. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Very pleased to share our latest preprint by superstar Hamish Deery! We found some intriguing sex and age differences in cerebral blood flow & metabolism 🤔 🧠🤨using #simultaneousPETMR. #neuroskyence #MonashPsych #MonashBiomedicalImaging @acnsau.bsky.social

A great opportunity to share your 🧠 science and inspire a young learner! Each year, the OHBM Diversity and Inclusion committee helps organize educational sessions on brain mapping across the world with school aged children. Sign up below to learn more about how to get involved!

@acnsau.bsky.social’s fearless leader @trevorchong.bsky.social putting his 🧠 to good use at Agnes’ #BrainProducts system at #ACNS2024

Very grateful to ACNS for this recognition 💙🧠 And massive congrats to my fellow awardee, the incomparable @hannahkeage.bsky.social #MonashPsych #MonashBiomedicalImaging

Learning about different types of intelligence, AI, and biases in STEM in a fantastic public lecture at @acnsau.bsky.social #ACNS2024 with @andrewbarron.bsky.social Muneera Bano and Toby Walsh in #Newcastle @csiro.bsky.social

Bee intelligence and AI by @andrewbarron.bsky.social at @acnsau.bsky.social bees learn faster than our best AI models today! How does a bee with <1M neurons learn abstract concepts? #ACNS2024 #UniversityOfNewcastle #Newcastle

“We are teaching the machines what is reality.” Fantastic public lecture by Muneera Bano at @acnsau.bsky.social #ACNS2024 conference @csiro.bsky.social #UniversityOfNewcastle #Newcastle

Navyaan Siddiqui presenting our latest #ParentalBrain research @acnsau.bsky.social. This was Nav’s first conference presentation and he smashed it 🤩 - with @kperrykkad.bsky.social @trevorchong.bsky.social #MonashPsych #MonashBiomedicalImaging

Fantastic opening keynote address from Prof Karen Caeyenberghs at @acnsau.bsky.social 2024 in Newcastle! Excited to see the focus on within person variability in cognitive assessment @nmilab.bsky.social
