Preprint - Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our recent work on spin tests is now published in Imaging Neuroscience🎉 As always, the code to reproduce our results and figures is available on github: github.com/netneurolab/...

The effect of spherical projections on spin tests for brain maps | doi.org/10.1162/IMAG... Spin tests are the de facto null model for map-to-map comparisons in brain imaging. Why don't they perfectly control false positives? @vincebaz.bsky.social explores ⤵️

Integrating and interpreting brain maps | doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

How does cerebral #BloodPerfusion map onto micro-, meso- & macro-scale brain structure? @asafarahani.bsky.social @misicbata.bsky.social &co characterize blood perfusion in the #HumanBrain, revealing how it changes with age & in #NeurodegenerativeDisease @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46AEURS

🧬🧠 Our latest study shows that individual brain dynamics are partly written in our genes. We found that heritable neurophysiological traits align with adult cortical gene expression and psychological function. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @theneuro.bsky.social @mcgill.ca

An Analysis of 200 pairwise statistics for functional brain connectivity in tasks such as hub mapping, distance relationships, structure-function coupling and behavior prediction highlights their effectiveness for neurophysiological applications. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New: Energy use shapes brain organization and development. We use gene expression maps from the @alleninstitute.bsky.social Human Brain Atlas to map the main energy metabolism pathways in the brain. Led by @moohebatpe.bsky.social @misicbata.bsky.social @goliashf.bsky.social and Justine Hansen 🧵

Cerebral blood perfusion across biological systems and the human lifespan | doi.org/10.1101/2025... How does blood perfusion map onto canonical features of brain structure and function? @asafarahani.bsky.social investigates ⤵️

(1/18) Now out on BioRxiv‼️ Reproducible Brain Charts: An open data resource for mapping brain development and its associations with mental health | doi.org/10.1101/2025... Funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Synaptome architecture shapes regional dynamics in the mouse brain | www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by Justine Hansen Big news: there are all sorts of different synapse types in the brain 👀‼️⤵️

Previous work showed that in controlled simulated settings, the spin test does not perfectly control for false positives. In my recent pre-print, we explored why this is the case! As always, the code to reproduce results + figures is available here: github.com/netneurolab/...

Hi Bluesky, my first PhD project is finally out! Cells in our bodies can talk to each other in multiple chemical languages, one of the better known being neurotransmitters. Here, we extensively looked at a language that also has its origin in the nervous system — neuropeptides.

Test, test
