Happy to share that our work is finally published in @commsbio.nature.com! We identify molecular and cellular signatures of hemispheric specialization, linking language and attention to distinct neurotransmitter, mitochondrial, & cellular organization across the cortex 🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Synaptic loss in schizophrenia isn't random. New PET imaging work from our group, led by @sidchop.bsky.social, shows it's left-lateralized, follows neurochemical gradients, and may propagate outward from inferior frontal cortex through axonal networks, independent of MRI grey matter changes

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼

Adaptive learning is coordinated across behaviour, time and neurobiology (from synapses and dendrites, to astrocytes and the systems level). If you’ve ever wondered how noradrenaline helps shape these multiscale learning processes, you might like this: www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

NIMH Data Archive is now also imposing NIST/ISO requirements (like NBDC). Not sure how many labs actually have the resources to meet these requirements. Is the golden era of open brain imaging data basically over?

Everyone should try out the Trandiagnostic Connectome Project (TCP) dataset! Openly available on @openneuro.bsky.social

For me, this work is a classic @ohbmofficial.bsky.social story: In 2023 I wasn't working with @bttyeo.bsky.social but I overheard him at his poster pointing to some accuracy curves saying "I don't why they have this particular shape". That kicked off the collab that led to these results.

V useful paper by @bttyeo.bsky.social @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social in @nature.com. Scan longer if you want to predict behav using fMRI and save $. Great use of the TCP data: (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...).

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉 It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fantastic dissection focused on WM tracts. quite long but there are obvious sections to skip (e.g. approx 0:00-30:00 and 1:25-1:45). i daresay it rivals Dr Lennart Heimer's video.
