It was an overwhelming honor to receive the Karl Zilles Award in Integrative Neuroscience at OHBM 2026. I cannot wait to continue growing along with this beloved brain mapping community🌷🧠

#2177 Francis Normand bridges the gap between geometric eigenmodes and functional gradients in the cortex with perturbation theory And in #2766 Gabriella Chan uses a production and spreading model to investigate the genetic and connectomic constraints on gray matter volume changes in schizophrenia!

And #0403, where Marko Ruslim models individual-specific wave propagation of neural activity along the visual hierarchy ! Now the final Wednesday/Thursday posters: In #2128, Yinuo Shu describes how topologically complex connections support the diversity and flexibility of brain attractor dynamics!

Other Monday/Tuesday posters: #0425 by recent alumnus @dralexholmes.bsky.social, on cortical geometric constraints on hierarchical sensory integration #0676 where @m-gajwani.bsky.social investigates the self-similarity of human brain organization across scales using fractal mathematics ❄️

How reproducible are morphometric phenotypes in psychiatric conditions? Hint: for most disorders, reproducibility may require very large sample sizes. See poster #1729 (Wed/Thurs), led by @trangcao.bsky.social You can also checkout the preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interested in thalamocortical connections and automatically reconstructing them? See poster #2176 (Wed/Thurs) on our bespoke thalamocortical tractography pipeline developed by @priscilatlevi.bsky.social and @arshiyasan.bsky.social, balancing personalization and biological plausibility!

Check Neuromodes, our new brain geometry package for simulating activity, understanding brain structure or organisation differences, null modelling and more! Led by @victor-barnes.bsky.social @izachpope.bsky.social @m-gajwani.bsky.social Poster #2027 (Wed/Thurs) github: github.com/NSBLab/neuro...

New pre-print from @alexfornito.bsky.social , Toby Constable, Jeggan Tiego, and myself, looking at the psychometric properties of the CBCL in the baseline ABCD cohort. We show that the commonly used CBCL structures fail to meet standards for validity and reliability osf.io/preprints/ps...

🔥ATTENTION!🔥 Registration for the 2026 Noosa Brain Workshop is now open! Join us for some amazing science, sun, and surf in one of Australia's most beautiful beach towns. Details: tinyurl.com/arbc5pp6 Check out or incredible list of confirmed speakers. More to come...

Many thanks to an amazing team including @rsuarezsaa.bsky.social, @jchrispang.bsky.social, D Margulies, M van den Heuvel, @stuartoldham.bsky.social A Holmes, @ashleasegal.bsky.social, N Sestan, and @laurarosefenlon.bsky.social! @nsb-lab.bsky.social

Interested in Network hubs, cortical hierarchies, and gradients? Ever wonder where they come from? Check our latest review, where we cover different approaches to mapping hubs, models for their evolution, and mechanisms for how they develop: osf.io/preprints/os...

Interested in cortical wave dynamics? Check out our new preprint led by J Cruddas with @jchrispang.bsky.social where review the physics and physiology of cortical waves and their implications for psychological function: osf.io/preprints/ps... @nsb-lab.bsky.social

1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by Trang Cao in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @nsb-lab.bsky.social

Have you been using ABCD data? Are you measuring psychopathology with the CBCL? You will want to check out our latest preprint, led by @kanepav.bsky.social, which shows that the constructs measured by the tool fail to meet many basic validity tests. Peep the thread!

New preprint out from @kanepav.bsky.social & @nsb-lab.bsky.social challenging the CBCL’s utility as a measure of psychopathology in the ABCD study.

The popular Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) does NOT meet many crucial psychometric standards! Checkout our latest preprint led by @kanepav.bsky.social and using baseline measurements from the ABCD cohort:

Check out our recent preprint by Trang Cao and a huge team of collaborators, on the inter-site reliability of neuroanatomical alterations in psychiatric disorders! Teaser: cross-site correlations are not very high… 👇
