Postdoc Coffee Hour on the Medical Campus and Danforth Campus this Thursday! Don't miss it! #postdoc #coffeehour #WashU

Very cool website, R package, and tutorial paper on preprocessing data from ESM / EMA studies. Website: preprocess.esmtools.com Preprint: osf.io/preprints/psya…

We are excited for our next seminar speaker, Dr. Lori Setton; Chair of BME @LoriSetton, for our shared seminar series with @MEDA_WashU highlighting faculty and their paths to success. Please join us on 11/30/23 at noon.

We’ve parcellated the neonatal cortical surface based on abrupt changes in functional connectivity, resulting in a set of 283 highly homogenous cortical surface parcels in a sample of n=261 neonates. Preprint now available! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player. I

Give me your all-time favorite stats paper in the comments below. I’ll start: Wiernik and Dahlke (2020) journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

i recently co-authored an 8-part review on the clinical literature about psychedelics. we looked at 6 different psychedelics: LSD, DMT/ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, MDMA, and ketamine. links to all 8 preprints are available here: blankhorizons.com/2023/12/27/psy…. a THREAD 🧵 (1/n)

We show that the midbrian red nucleus is functionally connected with the salience network (involved in motivated behavior/reward) and cingulo-opercular network (CON; involved in action control). See preprint here: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Damien Fair Nico Dosenbach @gordonneuro

How to find massive motor plasticity effects in the subcortex? Find out in our preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Turns out these new findings change our understanding of #Parkinson disease and some #sleep processes. Let me unfold it With Nico Dosenbach @gordonneuro Dillan Newbold

Less than 4% of postdoctoral researchers identify as Black. Being such a small demographic in academia brings unique challenges. Tune in to our webinar to understand how some of our members navigate these challenges. See flyer below for more details!

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves:

Brilliant talk TODAY by Roselyne Chauvin (Wash U.) on her pioneering functional brain mapping work with the Nico Dosenbach lab. We learned an incredible amount on design strategies to help detect associations in fMRI. Thanks to Clara Moreau for hosting!

Meta-analysis of 207 studies (total over 20k participants): Enduring personality change can be achieved within weeks by psychological interventions. Effects across clinical & nonclinical groups, strongest for emotional stability and extraversion.

My friend #Amarnathghosh was shot & killed in St louis academy neigbourhood, US on tuesday evening. Only child in the family, mother died 3 years back. Father passed away during his childhood. Well the reason , accused details everything are not revealed yet or perhaps no one

Our paper “A Precision Functional Atlas of Personalized Network Topography and Probabilities” is out now in Nature Neuroscience! The MIDB Precision Brain Atlas is a collection of individualized neural network maps from n~10,000 and probabilistic atlases (1/8) rdcu.be/dCvuC

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a

Vamos, Rafa Nadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I
