The Lab for NeuroImaging of Coma and Consciousness is dedicated to promoting recovery from severe brain injury.
We are proud to release a 100 micron MRI scan of the human brain. Preprint on biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. Videos on youtube.com/playlist?list=…. Dataset will be available in native space and MNI space at datadryad.org and integrated into lead-dbs.org. [1/2]
Cool study on TBI-induced remission of addition! I tried to get the lesion-tract mapping by setting lesion as ROI on the HCP1065 template and run fiber tracking. Results show TBI disrupted 1. uncinate (red) 2. IFOF (green) 3. ant thalamic rad (pink) 4. local U-fibers (blue)
Could having a TBI ever be paradoxically beneficial? We report a case of a patient with chronic refractory alcohol use disorder that went into remission following a TBI with focal OFC hemorrhage 1/2 @CommsMedicine @foxmdphd @JJoutsa @BenDavidson__ nature.com/articles/s4385…

Adult human brains have between 86-100 billion neurons and every single one is unique - like snowflakes! ❄️ In this 3D rendering by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see 3 different shapes. Can you name all of them? #BrainAwarenessWeek
Congratulations to #MassGeneral physician John Mayfield, MD, PhD, for winning the Biomedical Quantum Computing Challenge, a competition hosted by the National Cancer Institute @theNCI and the National Institutes of Health’s @NIH Office of Data Science Strategy.

🧠 Updated my open-source SWC Neuron Morphology Editor (runs directly in-browser!)—now with 3D views & custom segment colors (e.g., toggle axons). Demo uses @AllenInstitute MICrONS data. Can't wait to animate neurons for talks! #neuroscience #OpenScience

Congrats and thanks for the hard work, @peirong26 and @AnaLawryAguila ! We are one step closer to accurate modeling of heterogeneous pathology in uncurated clinical datasets.
Our latest work UNA has been accepted to #CVPR2025! UNA is the first modality-agnostic model to synthesize healthy brain anatomy from images with potential abnormal patterns --- Achieved by our novel fluid-driven anomaly generator on-the-fly. Project: github.com/peirong26/UNA
Check out the MICrONS Explorer - a virtual observatory of the cortex: microns-explorer.org This #OpenScience data portal includes #ElectronMicroscopy based reconstructions of cortical circuitry from mouse visual cortex.
In a new study, researchers from @BrighamWomens and colleagues discovered a brain circuit for creativity. The study is published in @JAMANetworkOpen. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… @foxmdphd @IsaiahNeurology
“Each of the administrative burdens… might seem small on their own but cumulatively they amount to a ‘mountain of small things’ that is killing academia.” Brief, clear, well worth the read.
Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @Brain1878 If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/issue/14…
