But (as others point out), h-index measures, among other things (1) older age, (2) luck, health, privilege, country of residence, resources (3) unusual numbers of collaborators, +misses many more important things

Thrilled to be co-chairing the inaugural #Alzheimer ’s Gordon Research Conferences from June 22-27, 2025. This conference will delve into #AI / #ML , #omics , stat. genetics, fungen, sysbio, #neuroimaging , & other topics. Outstanding lineup of speakers and registration will open soon. Stay tuned!

Our CAT12 paper has finally been published. Maybe most think this was a piece of cake, but it was my hardest paper ever, starting with my first submission in 2019. Now starting with 650 citations from scratch, weird...

Mesmerising clock at Schiphol, Amsterdam. Did they film someone for a long time [1] or is it AI (or performance art?) ;)
[1] update: they did record the person for 12 hours !? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time….

OK time for a rather long flight Serbia -> L.A after an excellent conference #ICOM24 .
Safe travels everyone travelling this weekend !

Patent for a remote control boat (N. Tesla)

Above Tesla’s lab was a sign: “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”. Although he invented remote control, vertical take off aircraft, and many patents - his lab often ran out of money and he lived in hotels. :$

Mysterious: Serbian is written in Cyrillic [1] or Latin letters interchangeably. If you understand Russian [2], or if you are multilingual European person, you will probably figure it out. See which signs you can read !

It looks like Црвена звезда * may have won the soccer game
* the most popular football club in Serbia, with 48% of the population supporting them [1]

Thank you to Dr Dejan Stevanovic for taking us on a beautiful 100000 mile walk tonight in Belgrade :)

Ventral striatum signal on functional MRI codes for prediction error, an index of reward during reinforcement learning - predictive coding is a principle for information processing in the brain. The brain is always predicting, like hitting a tennis ball. It is guided by the

ITBS stimulation also can slow the heart rate via cortical vagal stimulation. This relates to the level of improvement of TMS on the personalized and standard (F3) stimulation protocols in clinical depression.

Like regions where counties have their capitals and their frontiers, you can see nodes and transition zones in the functional connectivity maps - after TMS, treatment induces changes in several functional networks. A full TMS treatment will last 20 sessions and at 6 weeks (2

Individually targeted rTMS uses personalized brain mapping of anticorrelated zones and then the person can get back in the scanner to study functional network neuromodulation. We want to reduce the connectivity of the DMN in the perigenual or subgenual region and the ventral

But the fine grained mapping of individual resting state brain functional networks suggests you should use the region in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with maximal anticorrelation to the subgenual region and use that for targeting transcranial 10 Hz magnetic stimulation and

In clinical depression, the default mode network interoceptive), salience and attention networks are all implicated. Dr Roberto Goya-Maldonado uses rTMS to treat treatment resistant depression and optimizing the stimulus parameters is a key topic of research - the left DLPFC

People with greater early life adversity have higher incidence of clinical depression, higher inflammation, more atypical symptoms of depression; possibly have decreased connectivity between default mode and attention networks; trauma focused therapy includes EMDR and DBT is also
