Amazing work from our lab and @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social !

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
We used machine learning to examine how early life adversity ⚠️ is associated with the adolescent brain 🧠 in the ABCD Study across 7 adversity dimensions and 3 timepoints.

I highly recommend it! It was both incredibly fun and educational!

RELEASE THE KRAKEN(CODER)!
Ever struggle deciding which connectome pipeline to use or want to map between structure and function? Our multi-modal connectome mapping and fusion tool-the Krakencoder-can help! Brilliant Keith Jamison led this work, code available! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The estrous cycle modulates hippocampal spine dynamics, dendritic processing, and spatial coding In this study, Wolcott et al. explore estrous-cycle modulation of hippocampal neuron structure and function. Using longitudinal two-photon imaging across the estrous cycle, they find significant modulation at the synaptic, cellular, and population levels.

Our work suggests that a more aggressive disease phenotype in patients with MS having PRLs may be linked to heightened inflammatory activity in WM tracts disrupted by these pathologic lesions. (7/8)

Elevated inflammatory activity in highly disrupted WM tracts was associated with increased disability in patients with PRL, but not in patients without PRL. (6/8)

Compared to patients without PRL, patients with PRLs exhibited higher levels of inflammation in the WM highly disrupted by any type of MS lesions or PRLs. In patients with PRL, inflammation was higher in WM highly disrupted by PRLs compared to WM highly disrupted by non-PRLs. (5/8)

MS patients had higher inflammatory activity in whole brain WM compared to healthy controls. Patients with PRLs demonstrated relatively greater DVR than patients without PRL. (4/8)

We proposed a multi-modal approach to explore the potential for increased neuroinflammatory activity along the disrupted WM tracts due to PRLs. 18 kDa-translocator protein PET was used to measure the neuroinflammatory activity. (3/8)

Recent studies have associated PRLs with a more aggressive cognitive and ambulatory impairment in MS; however, it remains uncertain whether this correlation is due to the presence of PRLs themselves or other underlying, unmeasured factors such as neuroinflammatory activity. (2/8)

TSPO-PET Reveals Higher Inflammation in White Matter Disrupted by Paramagnetic Rim Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Objective: To explore whether the inflammatory activity is higher in white matter (WM) tracts disrupted by paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and if inflammation in PRL-disrupted WM tracts is associated ...

Very excited to share our new preprint that shows the increased neuroinflammatory activity on the white matter (WM) tracts disrupted by the paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). shorturl.at/CXrWQ (1/8)
