📢 We are excited to announce that the Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography is finally out! 🎉 Huge thanks to all the authors and the ever growing tractography community at IST @tractography and DSG-ISMRM @DiffusionISMRM !! From @flaviodellacqua, @maxdescoteaux, @Alex_Leemans
Very nice!
Our newest manuscript now in Scientific Reports. Title says it all "The relationship of white matter tract orientation to vascular geometry in the human brain" - where does WM align (and not align) with vasculature? @MASI_Lab @vuiis nature.com/articles/s4159…
We knew very little about how LLMs actually work...until now. @AnthropicAI just dropped the most insane research paper, detailing some of the ways AI "thinks." And it's completely different than we thought. Here are their wild findings: 🧵
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…
🎉Exciting news! Our work introducing µGUIDE is now published in @eLife!🧠Analyze your MRI data with confidence by estimating model parameters, degeneracy, and uncertainty. 📰Check it out: elifesciences.org/articles/101069 @MarcoPalombo3 @CUBRICcardiff @CompScienceCU @CardiffVisComp

Two papers. On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health. On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on…
Really disappointing move by the @uk_biobank Worsening disparities in science and creating havoc for PhD students that have planned projects utilising UK biobank data. Are refunds available?
Wow, with the new @uk_biobank rules, the dataset has just become way too expensive for the kind of computationally intensive work my lab does...

Corsica in March can be rainy, but when it's not it's amazing!
Initial work on adapting the FBA framework implemented in @MRtrix3 to facilitate N=1 comparisons. Promising, but much more to be done!

BOLD statement indeed! Very very interesting
BOLD statements about fMRI in white matter: the whole brain (both gray and white matter) shows signal time locked to tasks…biological? Functional? Artifact? Read here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
As a droplet touches a liquid surface it bounces gently, kept afloat momentarily by a thin air cushion. As the air dissipates the droplet comes in contact with the liquid. The droplet undergoes a multi-step coalescence journey: with each interaction, it merges and reduces in…

🧠 Neuroimaging has transformed our grasp of brain function! 📢 Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) is taking brain imaging to a whole new level. It can capture cerebrovascular flow down to micrometer scales, providing incredible insights. 🌟 #openbci #neuro #research
