(1/18) Now out on BioRxiv‼️ Reproducible Brain Charts: An open data resource for mapping brain development and its associations with mental health | doi.org/10.1101/2025... Funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... "What do neural travelling waves tell us about information flow?" A new preprint is out, with Antoine Grimaldi, Fredo Chavane and @martinavinck.bsky.social

In Alzheimer’s disease, routine clinical use of PET is limited by cost & accessibility. But can one predict PET composite values from more accessible data? A nice study elucidating promising & limiting aspects of using ML to predict tau-PET from plasma biomarkers & MRI. #dementia #alzsky

on template meshes but not very much on native meshes. neat work!

Lovely collaboration with Renaud La Joie - our review is finally out! Summarizing the role of tau and TDP-43 in medial temporal atrophy in Alzheimer's disease and exploring different hypotheses regarding their potential timing and synergism. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Another great webinar is in the pipeline: Join us from the @istaart.bsky.social Neuroimaging PIA and our speakers Anne Maass & Graziella Donatelli for insights into "Ultra-High Field MRI in Neurodegenerative Diseases" 📅Date: April 14 - 10:00 am CT 💻Register here: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Thrilled to be back home at BBRC & Fundació Pasqual Maragall as the Lead of the Neuroimaging Group! 🎉 Even better, we have a PhD position open to work with PET & MRI imaging in early stages of #Alzheimer’s. If you know someone passionate about neuroimaging, please share👇 t.co/WPPavUgpjl

So much research focusses on using brain connectivity to predict an individual's cognition, IQ, disease status, etc. BUT what about the inverse problem? Can personal data be used to build an individual's whole connectome? YES - with AI: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Re-posting is appreciated: We have a fully funded PhD position in CMC lab @cmc-lab.bsky.social (at @tudresden_de). You can use forms.gle/qiAv5NZ871kv... to send your application and find more information. Deadline is April 30. Find more about CMC lab: cmclab.org and email me if you have questions.

Big shout out to Filip & Bratislav + co-authors for this very useful & important work! An example (@biofinder.bsky.social data) showing subjects' FC "strength" can to some degree explain pathological tau protein patterns better than group-FC but not their mere "degree". An excellent null model.

please retweet this ad for a tenured-research position in fMRI at ultra-high. Join us!

For data defined on top of a graph/network (e.g. annotations on brain graphs), it is efficient to decompose them with filters that adapt to the spectral characteristics of the data at hand | w. @dimitrivdv.bsky.social @rikossenkoppele.bsky.social + C-F Westin

Happy 30th birthday year to SPM!! 🎈🍰 To get the party started, we are delighted to announce SPM 25.01, a major new version of the open-source neuroimaging software. Read the preprint to discover what's new arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12081 and download SPM for free from Github github.com/spm/spm/rele...

This paper is an excellent reminder that the brain works across space and time and that we can appreciate both, even with fMRI data.

Dr. Seiji Ogawa discovered and coined "Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent" BOLD contrast - used in almost all fMRI today. It was my great honor to interview him over two days on the very beginnings of fMRI, and so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBK...

Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

Incredibly happy and proud to share our newest work in Science Transl Med showing that Aβ promotes neuronal hyperconnectivity, thereby driving tau spread across connected brain regions. Many thanks to first authors @sebroemer.bsky.social and Fabian Wagner! science.org/doi/10.1126/... Thread below

The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the brain’s mode continuum, AMN sits opposite DMN’s default-mode, as yin-yang. AMN might be key in pain, apathy, Parkinson’s. New @natrevneurosci.bsky.social w/ Marc Raichle & @gordonneuro.bsky.social 🧵 ⬇️

hey -- i'm hiring a postdoc! the ad will be up shortly, but looking for someone with network neuroscience experience (very broadly). the position isn't tied to any specific project/grant, so lots of flexibility in terms of what you'd actually *do*. hmu if you might be interested/want to learn more!

This is very useful!

Is anyone else submitting abstracts for #OHBM2025 getting persistent payment declines? I've tried 4 payment methods and two browsers. Nothing seems to be going through 🫠@ohbmofficial.bsky.social any official guidance? Thanks!

Wish we had polls here but in their absence: can ML people tell me how they would define "ablation" or "ablation study"? As someone who frequently translates between neuroscience and ML, I fear this is another term that we both use, but slightly differently. #MLsky

Really happy to share that our latest work on "Higher order connectomics of human brain function" is now out in NatComms @naturecomms.bsky.social. One of the most fun projects that I've worked on! Big thanks to the friends involved F Battiston, M Lucas, @lordgrilo.bsky.social, E Amico doi.org/nt34

“We investigate how cooperation emerges with the spatial prisoner's dilemma played in a class of networks ranging from regular lattices to random networks. […] small-world topology is the optimal structure when we take into account the speed at which cooperative behavior propagates” 👀

NIBS indeed has potential in AD, especially when we get over using one-size-fit-all implementations since macro-scale functional/structural networks, and their disruption patterns, entail notable idiosyncrasies. #alzsky #neuroskyence #medsky academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...

fMRI network measures are affected by sampling error 🎲, physiological artifacts 💗, arousal 👀, and task state 🎞️. We argue that a major challenge in studies of 🧠 network dynamics is distinguishing between these sources of variability. A 🧵 …

I am often invited to review papers on deep learning for medical images. Unfortunately many papers do the same mistake; they split data into training/validation/test on the slice/image/patch level instead of on the patient level. This will lead to inflated test scores, as images from the same
