www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Awesome new work from Nick Weaver and Chris Lynn. How complicated is the human brain, really? This paper introduces a way to measure the compressibility of brain activity -- i.e. how many correlations do you actually need to predict large-scale neural activity. 1/

Very happy to see this out now in @nathumbehav.nature.com - kudos to @magdadelrio.bsky.social who has led this work and nicely brought together data from two very different studies! article is here: doi.org/10.1038/s415... and PDF is here: rdcu.be/eZ27x

Happy to have been able to contribute to this great work 👶🗻⛰️🏔️

In a groundbreaking study, an international team led by ETH Zurich researchers has for the first time calculated how many glaciers worldwide are likely to remain until the end of the century and for how long. It looks bleak. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

I’m now a bit obsessed with GPUs 🤓 They have great potential for scaling up neuroimaging and neuroscience analyses 📈 Coming up next: GPU-accelerated neuroimaging meta-analyses (work in progress 🚧: github.com/amnsbr/nimar...) 20/n

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out! 🎥@the_story_of_a_biologist (on Insta)

Hello! It has been a while, but for the Hector Fellow Academy I created a small project at the interface of neuroscience and music. In short, it is like a neuro-jukebox of projects of friends and colleagues integrating music and art. I thought it would be nice to share here cng-lab.github.io/kiosk

Lab’s latest is out in Imaging Neuroscience, led by Kirsten Peterson: “Regularized partial correlation provides reliable functional connectivity estimates while correcting for widespread confounding”, where we demonstrate a major improvement to standard fMRI functional connectivity (correlation) 1/n

How do animals decide if they should forage for food or stay home to take care of newborn offspring? Whose needs come first? For my PhD work now out in Nature, we examined how hunger and parenting neurons interact and are reshaped postpartum in mice 🧵⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Fun piece from @rossandersen.bsky.social about the "Hubble tension"--the problem that different methods for measuring the expansion of the universe give apparently incompatible results, which is leading some researchers to believe that something is drastically wrong with standard cosmological ideas.

Proud of Yun-Shuang Fan and team for publishing www.nature.com/articles/s42... - structural covariance in early onset schizophrenia!

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
