We characterized the thickness + volume of short association fibers across the brain, and across the lifespan - finding unique lifespan trajectories, and strong relationships to cortical features. Lots left to explore for these fiber systems! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I guess only companies will be able to afford to apply machine learning and AI to the UK Biobank freezing out academic labs. Maybe that’s not the intent of this policy but that will be the consequence.

The difference between mysticism and fundamentalism:

Psilocybin's powerful short- and long-term effects on your brain are revealed by this intrepid precision imaging drug trial published in nature. As one of the scientists I was also a study volunteer. Spending hours in an MRI scanner, while tripping on 25 mg was the experience

Super excited by this randomized double-blinded preregistered clinical trial: A network defined by treatment response from invasive stim (DBS) → used to noninvasively modulate the brain (tDCS). This improved motor functions in PD. Thread below 👇 Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Michael Fox

The future of AI is neurosymbolic. #longread about Google DeepMind’s new work (cc: Demis Hassabis) that is easily the most positive and important essay I have written this year. If you care about what happens in AI after the generative AI bubble bursts, please have a look.

My article in the The Times of India (The Times Of India) today, Sunday edition. "India needs reforms for higher education akin to the sweeping economic reforms of 1991. Three primary issues must be addressed to bring accountability to our educational institutions: faculty quality,

Will Consagra (UNC) estimates continuous connectivity (cf Daniel Moyer ‘s paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28487128/ ) but instead of using kernel density estimation, the product space function is learned with a deep neural net !

Mukund Rao The original take off for this work is the question on the nature of akasha, which is supposed to be the medium for consciousness. This is how I got there: medium.com/@subhashkak/ou…

Do you use multi-echo sequences for estimating the T2 in a diffusion-relaxation sequence ? Well - turns out there is bias in that estimation as we show in our new paper in MRM Highlights onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mr… — we also provide a neat solution — use of time-division

Finishing a new talk on brain diseases in India, China, and Japan relative to Europe / North America; interesting how 1⃣ many brain diseases differ in prevalence worldwide, or in the prevalence of specific subtypes 2⃣ large sex differences in prevalence, regardless of country of

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)

Happy science fact of the day: It's a year since the first Imaging Neuroscience paper was published, with 280 papers since then. Hence in just the first year, over half a million dollars has stayed within academia, rather than going to Elsevier [shareholders etc].

(1/12) Our brain network study of religious fundamentalism is out in PNAS. We identified brain networks associated with religious fundamentalism and found shared neuroanatomy with lesions linked to confabulation and criminal behavior: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
