What are the associations of serum levels of IL-6, IL-1RA, and other inflammatory markers with acute concussion, and can these markers aid in the discrimination of patients with #concussion? bit.ly/3TIxiX3 #NeuroTwitter

CAN YOU MAP DISEASE EFFECTS along the brain's neural pathways, by pooling multisite data? Bramsh Chandio + her colleagues introduce "Harmonized Tractometry", to merge tract data from 7 diffusion MRI protocols, studying modeling choices that arise in multi-site tractometry: PDF

I'm curious what fraction of the week PIs spend on grant writing. For the last 7 months (Sept. 1 '23 until today), I tracked this, and I found that I spent on average 25-30 hours a week writing grants (this does not count dealing with active grants or doing any science), in a

Curious about harmonizing diffusion MRI data across multiple sites and scanners using Tractometry? We explore various methods for selecting bundle features in ComBat harmonization, such as bundle-specific, whole-brain, and bundle-core-wise. Which approach comes out on top? 👇🏽

Beginning the Concussion in Sport: An Update on What We Know & Where We Should Go Symposium at the #ACSM24 Conference, Reid Syrydiuk presents insights on Sport Related Concussion Epidemiology and Prevention. Find more information below: abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20101/s…
