Out now in PNAS! Check out our work using biophysical modeling of the E/I ratio to provide evidence that E/I decreases in the human brain during adolescence and supports cognitive ability! Work co-led by me and Shaoshi Zhang with Ted Satterthwaite Thomas Yeo.

Absolutely phenomenal work by @valerieJsydnor! From the creation of a curated thalamus tractography atlas, to identifying devel. and environmental effects, to replicating across three datasets, and integrating with other neurobio measures, the contributions are many!!

We will be hosting an awesome symposium at #OHBM2024 on studies of the role brain iron in cognition, health, and brain function across the lifespan! Check it out Thursday at 9am!

Huge congratulations to my dear friend Ashley Clare Parr for her awesome talk at #OHBM2024 on brain-iron development and mechanisms of critical period plasticity! H/t our fellow LNCD (@lncdpitt.bsky.social) alum Bart Larsen for co-chairing the session!

This is now out in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (Biochemical & Biophysical Research Communications)!! 🥳 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My lab, part of MIDB, is a hiring a senior coordinator/lab manager! Ideal candidate will have experience managing research and an interest in precision brain imaging + clinical trial research. R/t share! D/m, email with questions. Job id: 362340 hr.myu.umn.edu/psc/hrprd/EMPL…

"The need for #iron especially increases during pregnancy, when people are even more vulnerable to anemia," #MIDB Co-Director Dr. Michael Georgieff tells The Atlantic theatlantic.com/health/archive… UMN Pediatrics | #irondeficiency | #pregnancy | #anemia

Planning to host an online DSI Studio workshop. Looking for suggestions on key features or applications to cover. Any suggestions?

When I think about the status of women’s health it’s easy to get angry. But there is so much to be hopeful about. Follow The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative for updates on our new initiative to advance women's brain health through deeply collaborative science. We need all of you behind this. 💫

Likely a technique that is going to change dMRI arxiv.org/abs/2409.07375 My two cents: 1. Performance on high-b and high-field scanners is the key (not shown in the work) 2. No need for TOPUP/EDDY in the future. by Berkin Bilgic Yogesh Rathi Anastasia Yendiki Susie Huang

I didn't tweet all the findings, but Bart Larsen gave a beautiful talk on E/I balance and the brain, using pharmacological-fMRI and cutting edge computational modeling... My mind is still spinning Flux Society #flux #flux2024 (especially this paper pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…!)

Ever wondered if the *dynamic* organization of brain networks is conserved across mammals? We too! Our latest work NatureCommunity details what we found by comparing fMRI patterns in humans👨macaques 🐒 and mice🐁 nature.com/articles/s4146… Mini 🧵 IIT

On the road to Minneapolis, excited to dig into reward & brain tissue iron in a post-doc with Bart Larsen at MIDB!!!

“What happens in November determines whether this line of research continues or whether we are up against the strongest headwinds ever," says Emily G. Jacobs 🦋 @emilyjacobs.bsky.social.

Check out this article that spotlights on the truly incredible work that Carina Heller, Ph.D. @carinaheller.bsky.social has done to understand how the brain changes over the menstrual cycle and on oral contraceptives! Congrats Carina Heller, Ph.D. @carinaheller.bsky.social! We are so happy you joined the lab to continue this work!

Important paper for anyone who does group comparisons (based on age, or anything else) in fMRI. Suggests that some group/age effects in fMRI might be vascular rather than neural? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Very happy with how this one turned out! This started as a curiosity, that built into a side project, and eventually into a very cool paper! This was also super fun to work on with Arielle Keller! Check out her thread below and the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...
