🌈🌈It's finally (officially) out!🌈🌈 @garedaba and I take a look at gradients/axes of thalamocortical connectivity in the human and mouse! nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/3
New preprint! Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others? We (w/ Rishi M, @eli_j_muller) address this by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics. arxiv.org/abs/2506.19800
Excited to share work co-led with @aditi_jh developing a data-driven selection technique for overlapping community detection algorithms, applied to the human structural connectome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Check out this cool new cross-sectional transdiagnostic dataset recently released by @SidChop and colleagues 🧠👏 Download link: openneuro.org/datasets/ds005… nature.com/articles/s4159…
Thrilled to present MIND! A model for how the sensorimotor–association axis of the neocortex develops. Huge thanks to the incredible multidisciplinary team who made this happen. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Funded PhD opportunity with @sjblakemore and I, at Cambridge. We are looking for someone interested in developmental science, to start in the coming academic year. Please share it with anyone you think might be interested (see details attached 😁). drive.google.com/file/d/1RIvgoU…
Applications for our postdoc position closes in 6 days! (Deadline: May 18 11:55pm AEST) If you are interested in MRI, modelling of brain dynamics, and genetics in health, disease, or across evolution, we would love for you to join our team👇👇
We are hiring! @AurinaArn and I are jointly looking for a talented Postdoc in Systems and Comp Neuro at Monash (AUS). If you like neuroimaging 🧠, comp models 💻, genetics 🧬, brain disorders 🤕, and/or evolution 🐵🐭, this could be the job for you!! careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/…
🎨🧑🎨 Looking for a tool to visualize subcortical/thalamic data in 2D? Check out this python-based package I put together (subcortex-visualization on PyPI) + a guide to create your own custom atlas meshes and vector graphics! All feedback/tips welcome 😊 anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_visu…

Very proud to share my latest work with the netneurolab, now out in @ScienceAdvances! 🐒🧠 🧬 Translational neuroscience from macaque gene expression, within + across species
Benchmarking macaque brain gene expression for horizontal and vertical translation | science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Led by @loopyluppi in @ScienceAdvances How useful is macaque brain gene expression for asking questions about macaque protein abundance and human gene expression? ⤵️
Happy to share our preprint looking at cerebellar and subcortical contributions to working memory. Thanks to all the co-authors for their help and guidance during this project! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🇦🇺 should be doing everything we can to attract & retain the next generation of ppl with big ideas PhD students shouldn’t be living in poverty to complete their study ⬆️ the stipend was recommended by the Universities Accord - govt should get on with it abc.net.au/news/2025-01-1…

Thrilled to share our latest publication in @NatMentHealth 🚨 We explored the multimodal neural signature of face processing in autism using normative modeling and linked ICA in the EU-AIMS dataset. Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4422…
Now that those #ohbm abstracts are done - think about submitting to this connectivity workshop. Stellar lineup of speakers is set! Register (and submit abstracts) here - medicine.yale.edu/mrrc/about/s... Abstract deadline is Jan 10, 2025. @YaleMRRCneuro
🚨 Due to an ongoing technical issue with our payment processor, the submissions will be allowed to be finalized with a "Pay Later" option. Your submission will be considered on-time, and the abstract fee will be settled later. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Our work linking GWAS and pharmacological treatments in psychiatric disorders is now in JAMA Psychiatry jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… 🧬💊🎯 Big thanks to @bendfulcher @AFornito @BellgroveMark 🧵👇
