#ohbm2023 is here and so is Neural Systems and Behaviour Lab! A lot of projects completed recently, and our presenters keen to share them with you. Peep the thread for details of talks and posters! ⬇️

....and Mehul Gajwani's work at Poster #1182 looking at how different preprocessing choices affect the consistency with which we can identify hubs with diffusion MRI

Be sure to check out Iva Ilioska ‘s talk on Sunday 16:45 where she will discuss “Multiscale heterogeneity of functional connectivity in autism“. Questions about the imaging similarities between people w/ autism? Iva can tell you about it at the level of nodes, regions & networks

On Monday (11:00) the inimitable Stuart Oldham will be discussing Development of thalamocortical connectivity during the third trimester Not to be missed if you have any interest in developmental connectomics, or want to see an AMAZING presenter with some powerpoint magic!

On Tuesday 10:30, alum Sidhant Chopra (now at Yale with @AvramHolmes) will be talking about Connectome-based Spreading of Grey Matter Abnormalities Across the Psychosis Continuum A follow up of the lovely work by Bratislav Misic and team (which you might have heard on Thursday!)

New research led by Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, funded by the National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants Program, will involve growing human brain cells onto silicon chips, with new continual learning capabilities to transform #machinelearning. bit.ly/3QbzKDv

Getting a diagnosis of #ADHD or #Autism is rarely a linear process. At #AADPA23 this weekend, PhD candidate @rachael_knott1 will be talking about the longer delays to diagnosis for kids with *both* conditions, and girls with autism or both conditions. #MonashPsychology #Monash

Such brilliant work!

New work from our lab out now in Nature Communications! A similarly sized marsupial takes 3x longer to develop than a mouse, but do all cortical neurodevelopmental processes temporally scale to different timeframe uniformly? No! 🦘👩‍🔬🧠🔬nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congrats to A/Prof Yen-Ying Lim, AAMRI Rising Star Award finalist. She's led a paradigm shift in Alzheimer's research, around early identification and better interventions. #TurnerInstitute #Alzheimers #Neuroscience #MonashPsychology #Monash #AAMRI aamri.org.au/news-events/aa…

Huge congrats to Professors Mark Bellgrove and Katrina Williams for their Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research Engagement and Impact. They developed Australia’s first NHMRC-approved evidence-based clinical practice guideline for ADHD. Vital, vital work.
