‼️ Paper alert ‼️ "Deciphering the functional specialization of whole-brain spatiomolecular gradients in the adult brain" now published in PNAS!! How is brain function organized? Regions vs. gradients? Geodesic vs geometric? We add to the debate! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 1/

I am hiring a research technician to help process and analyze multimodal neuroimaging data. Please RT!! * Great opportunity to gain research experience pre-PhD * Access to exciting data * Opportunities for independent projects Apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…

NEW: Ambient air pollution is associated with risk of Alzheimer’s disease & related dementias. Puckett et al. now report evidence of a potential pathway: damage to the locus coeruleus caused by PM2.5 ➡️ buff.ly/4cZ6xE6 Jeremy Elman Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging UC San Diego School of Medicine USC University of Washington

So appreciative to be able to be able to study chronic pain and dementia risk thanks to The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and to present this work with excellent colleagues at #AAIC2024 Jeremy Elman Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging The Panizzon Lab RUSH Alzheimer's Disease Center

Our new paper led by Rongxiang Tang on Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging data is out now! The results show that *spatial pattern* of change in diffusion-based cortical microstructure and similarity to normative tau deposition provides important info for predicting individual-level cog decline

Just received some Morris Worm and phone phreaking items from Whitney Merrill's Etsy shop! They remind me of my dad, who had very entertaining stories of both.

#ICYMI...NEW RESEARCH: The Association between Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and MRI-Assessed Locus Coeruleus Integrity in the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging (VETSA) ➡️ buff.ly/4cZ6xE6 Jeremy Elman Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging UC San Diego School of Medicine USC University of Washington

I'm very proud of the awesome work my sister has done and continues to do every day to improve and protect reproductive health

Great thread describing our new paper led by Rongxiang Tang using data from the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging!

We are planning to overhaul data/file organization for our lab as well as implement more standard workflows for everything from admin to analysis. Do you have methods that works for you? Any resources or examples you've found helpful? All ideas welcome, thanks in advance!

TODAY the House will hold on vote on the bipartisan NAPA Reauthorization Act & the Alzheimer's Investment Act. Tell your representative to VOTE YES ➡️ p2a.co/6YW3MGd. Together, we can ensure Alzheimer's remains a national priority. #NAPAAct #AlzInvestmentAct
