here is a story on how the AI talent wars went from the typical competitive recruiting of Silicon Valley to BigTech going after 24 year old PhDs like they're trying to sign the next stef curry w/ Eli Tan and Cade Metz nytimes.com/2025/07/31/tec…

A neuronal growth cone photographed through a microscope. DIC, actin filaments, and microtubules are shown. #CellBiology

Woot woot! Congrats Dr. Nicole Provenza

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Siebe Leysen, Daan Christiaens, et al: Local response function estimation in spherical deconvolution for comprehensive tissue representation using diffusion MRI doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a…

Check this neuron infected with #SARSCoV2 being attacked by microglia. This process is beneficial or detrimental? Do we want therapies to inhibit microglia/neuroinflammation, but what if means more neurons infecting other neurons? Neurovirology is fascinating! #FluorescenceFriday

I still get chills Meet Mike *30+ years severe depression *first hospitalized @ 13y *20 meds *3 rounds of ECT *2 near-fatal suicide attempts Mike felt joy for the first time in decades after we turned on his new brain pacemaker or PACE see paper, thread doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

Looking at some human brains with neurodegeneration and investigating Tau accumulation🟡inside neurons🟣using super-resolution microscopy (🟢nuclei). All the flying 🟡pieces are from dead neurons, and the 2 below are also condemned to die. We still don't know how to avoid this😞

Interested in Network hubs, cortical hierarchies, and gradients? Ever wonder where they come from? Check out our latest review, where we cover different approaches to mapping hubs, models for their evolution, and mechanisms for how they develop: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

🔬Interesting new brainstem and cerebellum study in Long COVID - new imaging findings from 2025 A new brain imaging study of Long COVID patients reveals major damage in key parts of the brain responsible for movement, balance, and automatic body functions like heart rate and

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by J. Alejandro Acosta-Franco, Graham Little and Christian Beaulieu: High resolution diffusion tensor imaging of the human cortex reveals non-linear trajectories over the healthy lifespan doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a…

Are you attending Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting this year? If yes, you will see this and other images of mine displayed at the San Diego Convention Center! I love seeing a blood vessel connected to the brain tissue! Markers: astrocytes🟡, microglia🟣, neurons🟢, nuclei🔵 #FluorescenceFriday

The neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia.

Check out our new preprint on Streamline Density Normalization (SDNorm)! SDNorm can reduce bundle variability, improve reliability of along-tract microstructure, and provide metrics for automated bundle QC. 📎Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 📎Code: github.com/wendyfyx/SDNorm

It's cool to spot diffusion MRI tractography outside the lab. Muse used it as the cover of The 2nd Law. #dMRI #Tractography #Neuroimaging #Neuroscience #Muse #The2ndLaw #ScienceArt #Connectome

Taylor Swift is releasing a new album. Sweater weather on the horizon. Twilight is returning to theaters. Starbucks fall menu is here. Autumn 2025 might be the best yet. #TaylorSwift #Twilight #FallVibes #Swifties #PumpkinSpice

Proud moment for Lester Rodríguez! Y’all don’t want to miss this paper 👀

Please join us this Friday for the start of our neuroscience seminar series! 🧠 Our first speaker, Dr. Laura DeNardo, from UCLA, will present: “Neural Circuits Underlying Long Term Memory Across the Life Span” 📅 Date: Sept. 5, 2025 🕑 Time: 11am-12pm 📍 Location: N315

Microglia Megazord activated! Check these brain immune cells🔵 responding to #SARSCoV2 infection. Compare to the image on the right from a control. Neurons🟠, Microglia🔵 Do you know what caused this? COVID-19 Do you know what did not cause this? Vaccines. #FluorescenceFriday

Latest Holmes Lab preprint! Here, integrating genetic 🧬, post-mortem, and diffusion MRI 🧠 data, Rowena Chin examines the heritability and cellular associates of late-life decline in white matter integrity. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yep. Thank you for highlighting this Keith Sakata, MD !
