This is a huge finding! What does this mean for action mode network genes? Is this network more susceptible than other networks to cancer?

What if we've misunderstood how ADHD stimulants work? WashU Medicine brain imaging and child neurology teams joined forces to uncover where in the brain these drugs act — knowledge that could improve how attention disorders are treated. medicine.washu.edu/news/stimula...

Check out @benjaminkay.bsky.social and team losing sleep to publish this work in doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... about how stimulants rescue the effects of sleep deprivation. Don't nap on this one!

Groundbreaking work by @drjuliamoser.bsky.social using ultra high spatial resolution fMRI in infants 😯

🚨 New preprint on the first infant 7T MRI project in North America! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We showcase that by leveraging 7T for infants, we can improve data quality and thereby facilitate precision functional mapping in early development.

Mapping infant brains with precision today = insights into developmental health tomorrow. Incredible work by @drjuliamoser.bsky.social introduces precision functional mapping for infants. 👶 #Neuroimaging

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... 🐣👶🧠

This might be related to the feelings of joy we observed when stimulating the ventromedial PFC, which is also within the salience network: bsky.app/profile/drda...

Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-stimulation (PACE) in Treatment-Resistant Depression Punchline: PERSONALIZED network neuroscience works. *Easily* the most important paper I’ve been part of. Read the manuscript for details. Watch the movies for *amazing* testimonial. 1/2

What an amazing demonstration of why Precision Functional Mapping matters 🧠It’s been an honor to support the team in this huge endeavor!

Then we turned on his minimally invasive brain pace-maker and this happened. Thirty months later, his depression remains in full remission. lnkd.in/gb4WdZMQ lnkd.in/gFZV4zBp #Neuroscience #MentalHealthInnovation #FunctionalMRI #PrecisionMedicine #DepressionResearch #PACE #BrainStimulation

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks.

When nothing worked, this did. Precision functional mapping is here for treatment-resistant depression. This is what hope looks like. 💡

"The [number of NSF trainees] supported would drop from 95,700 undergrads, grad students, and postdocs during this FY to 21,400." Not only will this eviscerate the future scientific workforce, but science will grind to a halt. Trainees are the workhorses of research. www.science.org/content/arti...

Excited to be a part of this team working on the next generation of pain treatment led by and Alexander Herman and @drdaviddarrow.bsky.social and @drdamienfair.bsky.social

Some seriously impressive neuroscience by @benjaminkay.bsky.social showing how stimulant use effects the brain.

To all the scientists out there who need to hear this right now, you are part of a legacy of scientists who changed the world. Keep going.

Our paper “A Precision Functional Atlas of Personalized Network Topography and Probabilities” is out now in Nature Neuroscience! The MIDB Precision Brain Atlas is a collection of individualized neural network maps from n~10,000 and probabilistic atlases (1/8) rdcu.be/dCvuC
