🚨 Brain Age vs Direct Models in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) 🚨 A thread 🧵 1/ Brain age is a powerful indicator of general brain health, trained on massive datasets. But does this translate to better prediction for specific outcomes, like AD? Preprint by @twktan.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1101/2024...

First post on an exciting new manuscript online today @natneuro.nature.com - in collab with @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Catie Chang. We take a fresh look at the physiological dynamics associated with the global signal 🧠 ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... Read here: rdcu.be/ek01F

This is wild. Now do it in a dolphin or a duck where half the brain stays awake. It’s freaky how little we know about neural bases of sleep compared to say…noise correlations in V4. bsky.app/profile/eddy...

The effects of psychedelics on neurovascular coupling is something I've heard discussed loads and researched little. The dissociation between neuronal activity and hemodynamic responses to psychedelics is a reminder to consider neurovascular effects in pharmaco-fMRI! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Super excited about this ongoing spatial transcriptomics study in locus coeruleus of human 🧠. Expression of norepinephrine neurons - TH🔴, DBH🟢 and SLC6A2🟡 overlaid on post-Xenium H&E stain, allowing correlation of neuromelanin content (brown pigment) w/ gene expression #FluorescenceFriday 🔬🧪

Had a great time visiting Yale today and catching up with the @toddc.bsky.social group. Exciting to have some of these results out in the world for the first time!

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.

🧠 Why do some brains age faster than others? 🧬 Our new Nature Aging study of over 56,000 participants explores the genetics of the “brain age gap” — the difference between your brain’s biological and chronological age. nature.com/articles/s43587-025-00962-7 Thread below 👇

New preprint alert! We used connectome-based predictive modeling in a transdiagnostic sample to identify brain network correlates of wide array of behavioral measures. We also identify where networks supporting cognition overlap with those linked to diagnostically related clinical symptomatology.

The field of human neuroscience particularly benefits from studies conducted in large, diverse cohorts of participants, which produce findings that better generalize to the entire global population, writes @lucinauddin.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/inte...

In our Trends in Cogn Sci paper we point to the connectivity crisis in task-based human EEG/MEG research: many connectivity metrics, too little replication. Time for community-wide benchmarking to build robust, generalisable measures across labs & tasks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
