Great study by Sara Fernandez-Cabello! Check it out!

Immediate environment, larger societal factors and genes shape brain and cognition across life – PhD position available. Perfect for quantitative oriented brains who like team-work and to cross fields. Ole Rogeberg torkildl LCBC - UiO UiO:Livsvitenskap jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

Do you need a lot of sleep? We find 6.8 hours associated with "optimal" brain structure. Even less for hippo. The recommended 7-9 clearly too much. >8 worse than <5. 51.000 MRIs used. Short sleep not a societal brain health problem? Lifebrain LCBC - UiO biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What could possibly be a better occasion to resurrect my twitter handle than our new article on deep learning for brain age estimation being published in @NeuroImage_EIC! doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… LCBC - UiO @SFFNorment UiO:Livsvitenskap

Preprint! Liisa Raud tested hippo-cortex FC n=751 w rest + two memory tasks: retrieval shows a specific pattern indicative of a task-general process; encoding reflects context-specific demands, not a task-general cognitive construct - quite cool LCBC - UiO biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What influences how your brain looks in aging? Prenatal factors (i.e. birth weight) have large, stable and consistent effects. Supporting early effects on brain reserve through life, even in MZ twins. >12k MRIs from 5.8k participants. Kristine B Walhovd LCBC - UiO biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally (!) out in eLife - the journal 📢 We use replicable effects in adults to trace two forms of brain development never before tracked across life and time: one grows through childhood and adolescence and peaks in the mid-20s (cortical thickness asymmetry) bit.ly/3qYowYn

Much of the differences between people in aging are caused by early - even prenatal - factors. These are at least partly environmental: birth weight differences in MZ twins correlate with late-life brain structure. Check out eLife - the journal Kristine B Walhovd Didac Vidal Pineiro elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Remarkably similar effects of fetal influences across development, mid-life and aging, at least in part no-genetic. Thanks for posting @parkvillegeek ! Kristine B Walhovd Didac Vidal Pineiro LCBC - UiO

Preprint: we study SuperAgers - less hippo atrophy and more retrieval-related activity associated with superior memory across adult life, not only in aging. Hence, hippo correlates of superior memory are stable, not specific to aging. LCBC - UiO Kristine B Walhovd biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kicking off my new job by (almost) finalizing one of my previous projects 😄. Another major result from our #BBSC_project: Title: The within-subject stability of cortical thickness, surface area, and brain volumes across one year biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 👇

Really interesting from Didac Vidal Pineiro Follow-up time much more important for reliability than number of timepoints; extend from 2 to 4 yrs yields MUCH larger improvements than adding 6 (!) more TPs. Comes with a shiny app to explore reliability, sample size and power👏 LCBC - UiO

We find higher brain activity 12h after learning for memories still intact 6 days later. Despite perfect memory for all items at 6h, activity distinguishes long-term durable from transient memories. LCBC - UiO
