New preprint! Are early environments associated with the pace of cortical network development? In my first postdoc preprint with the @wunder_lab, @BarchDbarch, @rogers_ce, and Chris Smyser, we addressed this question. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… \1
First preprint out of @Stanford_PMHW! Mood disorders are a leading cause of disability, potentially due to co-occurring cognitive impairments. However, cognitive impairments vary dramatically from person-to-person, even if they share the same diagnosis. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Session 4: Early Network Development is starting now! @MinghuiOuyang presents the developmental connectome, @UTooley links prenatal environment to cortical development, Gondova examines connectivity in preterm infants, and Ayzenberg covers newborn visual organization🧠#FITNG2024
@UTooley showed that the prenatal environment affects brain network development speed in the first 3 years. Early development pace is linked to risk factors and outcomes, with faster development in lower-SES children. #Neuroscience #BrainDevelopment #OHBM2024
Super excited to be in Seoul 🇰🇷 at #ohbm2024 and share our recent work examining the development of intrinsic 🧠 activity in babies 👶, a la @valerieJsydnor & @sattertt . Come on by and see me M/Tu at Poster 1278!
Sharing our new study by @keylas3, @SilvaJ_C, Rafael Bayarri Olmos et al (with T. Horvath & @PutrinoLab) showing that a passive transfer of IgG from patients with #longCOVID into mice recapitulates ⬆️ pain and other symptoms 🧵 (1/) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
📣 New in @ScienceMagazine I teamed up with @EricTopol to write this #SciencePerspective on Long Covid Solving the puzzle of #LongCovid A long 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Where things stand with Long Covid By Jason Gale @jwgale in @washingtonpost A great review of where we stand. A lot of progress has been made in understanding Long Covid. We need to figure out how to treat it. washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…
Thanks for the wonderful write up, @kara_mcgaughey!
🚨 #BrainsInBriefs article alert! #NGG student @kara_mcgaughey writes about recent work from NGG alum @UTooley, who took one of the first looks at brain function during early and middle childhood to study brain connectivity and cognitive development! upennglia.com/briefs/bib-bra…
Ever wondered, how much data you need to construct a reliable individual specific functional brain networks in a newborn infant? Come chat at poster 1-N-100 #Flux2023
So excited to read this! I always love to chew on what Bart and co. are thinking about 🤩
Very happy to announce our new work which proposes a critical period model for the progression of developmental plasticity along the sensorimotor-association axis during youth! Out now in @TrendsNeuro! 🧵 tinyurl.com/4cjxc3ad NB: Now hiring postdocs interested in this work!
