ICYMI: Check out #Stroke June #EditorPick, "Neural Mechanisms of Poststroke Urinary Incontinence: Results From an fMRI Study." ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… @Aidin_MD @vs_montero @DavidGUSCFPMRS @neuro_kj @Drluismorales90 @ekreydin @PriKohli @NhiHa_1 @USC @USCLONI @KecKSchool_USC
#STROKE: The salience network plays an important role in maintaining urinary continence in stroke survivors — inability to activate it may underpin the pathophysiology of poststroke urinary incontinence. #AHAJournals ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
🎉CONGRATS to 7T MRI Discovery Award winner @fan_zhaoyang! Project: Over 90% of TBI cases are considered mild, yet up to 30% of these patients face lasting cognitive issues. This project aims to refine advanced 7T MRI techniques to better predict long-term outcomes in mild TBI🧠

Great work from our @alzGAAIN team 👏👏
Incredible night raising awareness & support for Alzheimer’s research — including breakthroughs in data sharing & access via @GAAIN @USC. Big thanks to Daryl & Irwin Simon + the #ForkIt crew for your passion & vision to drive progress. 💜 #ENDALZ
🌟 New week, new animation 🧠 Research by our @loft_lab uses noninvasive ASL MRI to show that brain blood flow decreases even in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s — before memory problems appear. This could help doctors catch the disease earlier and track treatment over time.
🧠New paper alert! We define PI-2620 tau PET cutpoints in a diverse cohort — summary of 🗝️ findings below ⬇️ 675 adults: • AB+ cognitively impaired (CI) • AB– cognitively unimpaired (CU) • 28% Hispanic, 31% NH Black, 41% NH White 🔗 Read it here: (bit.ly/44RLVwe)
For your Tuesday viewing pleasure 👀👀 A colorful 3D reconstruction of an MRI scan that shows the brain's wiring 🧠
Breaking news: HABS-HD New Data Release Available! With 6600+ total visit exams across time points, 6500 MRI scans, 3600 amyloid PET scans & 2200 PET tau scans, there is tons of data to advance the field! This is an extremely rich dataset! @USCLONI @UNTHSC
🚨 We've identified a new brain imaging benchmark that may improve how researchers classify biologically meaningful changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease🧠 Learn more & check out the animation! bit.ly/45JfzER
👋Welcome to Patrick Walsh, who has joined our lab as a full time Project Assistant! Patrick has an MS in Neuroimaging and Informatics from USC (@USCNIIN). He will be working on projects whose goal is to better understand risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias 🧠
🔥AMAZING TO SEE everyone @ last night's ENIGMA @OHBM party here in Brisbane, Australia !!! 🥂🎆🎈🥳 🔥take 1 🔥take 2 (without motion correction ;) #OHBM2025 @enigmabrains @ENIGMA_Diabetes @OHBM @OHBM_Trainees @OHBM_Australia @OhbmOpen @enigmabrains @ENIGMA_Diabetes @USCLONI…
🎉Congratulations to @USCNIIN alumna Hannah Salcudean (’24), who is headed to the University of British Columbia @UBC to pursue her MD! We’re so proud of her and can’t wait to see all she accomplishes in the field of medicine. 🧠🩺

CONGRATS to our very own @njahanshad for her @OHBM 2025 Open Science Award! A well-deserved honor! 👏🧠🙌 #OHBM2025

Mondays are for experimenting with visualizing a single subject Human Connectome Project dataset of the full brain fiber bundles 🤩🧠
🧠🧬 With new @NIH funding, @USC_LoBeS will utilize AI and brain scans to track the progression of Alzheimer’s—and how lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, may help. The goal: personalized, brain-wide prediction tools to guide early treatment and prevention.
🎙️ Interesting episode of The Daily this morning! Our @enigmabrains gets a brief mention! 🧠 🙌 Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong? nytimes.com/2025/06/17/pod…
🌟 NEW functionality over at our Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network! 🧠 Check it out 👇
🔔 We have updated our #GAAINInterrogator layout so that you can sort through our longitudinal and cross-sectional Data Partners by name, country, number of subjects and variables, and last updated dates 📊 Check it out! ➡️ gaaindata.org
🚨 Last call for applications! Submit to our 1-year grant opp for research on health & disease pathways using ultra-high-field MRI 🧠Interdisciplinary + translational projects encouraged ✌️cia.ini.usc.edu/home/7trfp

Check out our PUBLICLY AVAILALBE data set of brain scans from stroke patients! The Anatomical Tracings of Lesion After Stroke (ATLAS): bit.ly/4dYKkHK We continue to be committed to creating the optimal environment for discovery 👩🔬🧠✌️
Exciting first-ever milestone in AD research: HABS-HD has surpassed 3000 simultaneously collected ATN brain scans - the largest collection & only available representative population! linkedin.com/posts/drsidobr… @UNTHSC @USCLONI @NIHAging #BrainHealth
This animation, featuring data from @loft_lab, showcases tiny brain blood vessels called lenticulostriate arteries, captured using an ultra-powerful 7T MRI scanner. Seeing these vessels helps us better understand and treat small vessel disease in the brain ✌️🧠
