Thank you @caterinagratton.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to this! Fascinating to dive into the causes and consequences of individual differences in brain organization.

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization? @rodbraga.bsky.social and I dig in, in @annualreviews.bsky.social (ahead of print): go.illinois.edu/Gratton2025-... #neuroskyence #psychscisky #MedSky 🧵👇

Important consideration to better model neuroimaging data

Check out some compelling and timely work by @nasiametoki.bsky.social on sex vs gender differences in the developing adolescent brain!

Is resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC), cortical thickness (CT), or cortical volume more effective at capturing sex and gender differences in the brains of preadolescents? Check out our new article (doi.org/10.1016/j.dc...) now out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.

That's going to be very useful !!

This is such a fantastic resource and paper! @benjaminkay.bsky.social has unrivaled tenacity for seeing this awesome project through! Check this out and give him a follow for some of the most thoughtful, statistically rigorous, and well-executed clinical neuroimaging around.

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications! doi.org/10.1038/s414...

The German State of Baden-Württemberg is sponsoring 14 fellowships for researchers whose work is under political pressure in the US. Total funding for the fellowships is 3.6 million EUR. Freiburg, Konstanz and Tübingen are the participating universities. 🧪 www.myscience.de/en/news/wire...

I feel like this should go without saying, but repeated hits to the head can only be bad: A recent @nature.com paper describes the neuron los and inflammation caused by repeated head trauma in young athletes 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I love taking trains so was so glad to see @nature.com's recent editorial advocating for sustainable rail travel www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I feel very proud to be part of @nature.com, and to have colleagues who handled this excellent #DeepSeek paper that describes DeepSeek-R1, because it's the first widely used commercial LLM that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Did you know that people who move to more walkable cities in the US end up walking more? This seems obvious, but is quite solid evidence for the influence of the built environment on human activity and well-being. Read more in the @nature.com paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pesticides are drifting above us, and for diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, drifting 'chemical filled clouds' will be bad news for everyone. A new study revealed that pesticides are not just in the soil and water, they are traveling long distances and accumulating in cloud water.

How did rumors spread in revolutionary France? A recent @nature paper take an epidemiological approach to understand the spread of the "great fear" in France... and is an example of the type of social science work that we are now publishing www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Chronic pain is one of the most under-recognized burdens for folks with Parkinson’s disease. It is time we bring chronic pain in PD out of the shadows and address it as a central part of a care plan. Ogonowski and colleagues tackle this topic head on in a new article in Annals CTN.

Neuroscience and society. Folks this is definitely an important 'thing.' We need to pay attention as technology begins to overtake society. Tune in virtually here to catch all of the great discussions this morning at the DBS Think Tank. ufl.zoom.us/webinar/regi... @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

A new study in Movement Disorders highlights the role of the somato-cognitive action network or SCAN in focal dystonia. Today marks the start of the DBS Tank and I will be asking Nico Dosenbach: When you keynoted the DBS Think Tank a few short years ago, did you imagine the impact of SCAN imaging?

Ray and I have received tons of requests by email and text for the link to listen to our 1 hour interview that aired live on NPR's 1A this week. THANK YOU! Here it is. We urgently need a Parkinson's Plan, and that is why we wrote the book. the1a.org/segments/cou... @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

🚨 New paper alert! Excited to share our latest work in Movement Disorders: “Somato-Cognitive Action Network in Focal Dystonia” 👉 doi.org/10.1002/mds.... We found asynchrony between SCAN and cerebellum in different dystonia subtypes. Thread below. #dystonia #fMRI #PrecisionFunctionalMapping #neuro

Oh do I understand. So full of happiness to see that Mike is doing better and has relief from the nightmare of treatment-resistant severe depression. Joy is bliss!

Cool work here

Treatment resistant depression is incredibly cruel. This is beautiful

Qué bien

A truly spectacular demonstration of the medical potential of precision mapping an individual patient's brain. I am so excited to be part of this work!

Great write up of our @nature.com study by @claudia-lopez.bsky.social

Precision Functional Mapping (PFM). 8 yrs ago some told us it wasn't interesting. Now it's helping cure depression as part of PACE (Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-stimulation), ... commercialized by @turingmedical.bsky.social. osf.io/preprints/ps... www.cell.com/neuron/comme...

The bottom 60 percent of Americans will get just 4 percent of the benefits from Trump’s budget. If you’re in that bracket but still voting for Trump, you’ve been conned.

The state of academia

These are the types of stories we need to be telling right now. This is the science that the world (no, the US) needs to see. It's the between space- fMRI methods development meets neuromodulation, and you know you have something real when anybody can see it in a patient video. Share this video!
