Just read this today... Nice demonstration of non-stationarity's impact on statistical comparison of brain maps. Surprising that spatial autocorrelation is so heterogeneous. Inference might need to take this into account. Beautifully presented work... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our aging paper just came out. Two periods of major changes: Mid 40s and 60s. Check it out doi.org/10.1038/s43587…

Theta-burst stim (TBS) is used to treat depression, but how does it work? I dug into this question in my research yr with Corey Keller Angelique C Paulk, now out in Nature Communications, finding that TBS can produce plasticity-like changes in just minutes of stim. nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are extremely excited to announce this years BPA ECRN Plenary Awardees as Sidhant Chopra (ECR category) and Xavier Maddern (Student category)!! 🥳 Both awardees will deliver a 20 minute talk on their research at the Biological Psychiatry Australia conference in #Sydney ✨👏👏 #BPA2024

Excited to share our work on between-scanner test-retest reliability of ultra-low-field brain MRI morphometry and correspondence to high-field MRI: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… | We scanned 23 healthy adults (20-69 y) on two identical 64 mT Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System–Hyperfine, Inc Swoop systems and 3 T MRI (1/n)

New position in our lab - software engineer to work on FSL developments, particularly with a clinical focus: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

some people age faster than others – but how should we measure it? excited to share our preprint where we propose a new measure of the rate of biological aging that can be derived from a single structural brain scan biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Huge CONGRATS to Caio Seguin on award of the ARC DECRA Fellowship! Caio's fellowship will focus on modeling interregional communication in brain networks, particularly in response to brain stimulation CONGRATS CAIO! Caio Seguin rms.arc.gov.au/RMS/Report/Dow…

Very grateful to the Rebecca L. Cooper Foundation's support of our group's basic research on brain stimulation treatment in depression and our clinical partners Consider applying to the Foundation in 2025 to support your own clinical research: cooperfoundation.org.au/apply-and-revi…

Q&A about my journey from engineering to neuroscience/psychiatry + my thoughts on issues in psychiatry research: rdcu.be/dR0rf Thanks for the opportunity Natalia Gass, Senior Editor, Nature Mental Health - a fabulous journal with a smooth & fast editorial process.

Can lifespan brain charts from rhesus macaques inform our understanding of neurodevelopment across species? A new preprint by Ting Xu et al. presents detailed MRI-based normative trajectories for brain structure, based on 1,522 scans. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Curious about human brain development through an animal model? 🧠🐒Check out our new preprint on Brain Charts of the Rhesus Macaque Lifespan! We've mapped normative trajectories for macaque brains using 1.5k MRI scans from PRIME-DE and collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

super excited about this preprint being out and for the bridges we hope it can help build between different branches of neuroscience!

My alma mater after today's missile attack by ruzzian terrorists. It is not the first strike since the beginning of war. Last few days #Kharkiv is under extremely intense attacks. As always, civilian infrastructure. Btw, today is the 1st day of school in 🇺🇦 #LetUkraineStrikeBack
