New review, "Novel mechanism-based treatments for pediatric anxiety and depressive disorders" online now as part of @npp_journal 2024 reviews issue - from @ChadMSylvester, Joan Luby and Danny Pine #NPPR2024 nature.com/articles/s4138…
I met Daniel & Kellie 10 years ago in #pedsneuro at #WashU. Their inspiring story is the cover of @washingtonpost Health today: tinyurl.com/n9cw559n. It's been driving precision functional brain mapping with Tim Laumann & co, ever since tinyurl.com/jzd6p7eb. Thanks Carr fam
Please read & share this op-ed I wrote with JoanLuby in @latimesopinion. Poverty affects brain development, placing children at risk for later hardships. A lifeline for these children just expired. It doesn't have to be this way. A 🧵 latimes.com/opinion/story/…
My interview with @heffnera on @OpenMindTV is up! We talk brain maps, brain-computer interfaces, privacy, and brain development. Audio: open.spotify.com/episode/4IhhzT… Video: pbs.org/video/mapping-…
BIG thanks to our collaborators on this project! @ChadMSylvester @gordonneuro @DrDamienFair @hashtagAshleyN @gothemind @rogers_ce
Our neonatal parcels and the code used to generate them are now publicly available! github.com/myersm0/myers-…
We also assigned functional network identities to each parcel using the Infomap algorithm, providing key insights into functional organization of the brain at birth.
Our cortical surface parcels showed high reproducibility in the held-out half of our neonatal sample and high validity in 3 external neonatal datasets, while publicly available adult parcels in these same neonatal datasets showed poor fit.
Publicly available adult parcellations don’t work with neonatal FC data, thus we generated an age-specific surface parcellation of the neonatal brain based on abrupt changes in FC.
We’ve parcellated the neonatal cortical surface based on abrupt changes in functional connectivity, resulting in a set of 283 highly homogenous cortical surface parcels in a sample of n=261 neonates. Preprint now available! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Congratulations @AlyssaKLabonte and @ChadMSylvester to this important work! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Sylvester et al: Work led by @ChadMSylvester and @wunder_lab reveals that the brain response to unexpected sounds in newborn babies is related to risk for anxiety. bit.ly/3eyQwId 4/5
Thank you to the @BBRFoundation for highlighting our work with @ChadMSylvester relating maternal anxiety to neonatal brain function in response to unexpected sounds! We are honored to be selected!
