Mapping cerebral blood perfusion and its links to multi-scale brain organization across the human lifespan | doi.org/10.1371/jour...

How does blood perfusion map onto canonical features of brain structure and function? @asafarahani.bsky.social investigates @plosbiology.org ⤵️

Multivariate patterns linking brain microstructure to temperament and behavior in adolescent eating disorders Molecular Psychiatry - Multivariate patterns linking brain microstructure to temperament and behavior in adolescent eating disorders

Super happy to see our latest research on multivariate brain-behavior patterns in adolescent eating disorders out in Molecular Psychiatry!

Integrating and interpreting brain maps | doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

Interested in cortical wave dynamics? Check out our new preprint led by J Cruddas with @jchrispang.bsky.social where review the physics and physiology of cortical waves and their implications for psychological function:

‼️NEW PREPRINT‼️

What if you could take a normal 3T T1w MRI and make it look like it was acquired from a 7T scanner?

That's exactly what we do using AI in our new preprint!

Genetic foundations of interindividual neurophysiological variability Individual brain activity profiles are shaped by lifelong genetic influences.

🧬🧠 Our latest study shows that individual brain dynamics are partly written in our genes. We found that heritable neurophysiological traits align with adult cortical gene expression and psychological function.

Fab new work from @kanepav.bsky.social with @jchrispang.bsky.social looking at how different measures of inter-regional FC are resistant to motion-related noise and how they can improve (or not) BWAS effect sizes. Peep the thread!

New paper!

We introduce an efficient set of statistical features for fMRI time series (calibrated on mouse manipulation experiments and tested on mouse and human data): catchaMouse16.

New pre-print from @alexfornito.bsky.social , Toby Constable, Jeggan Tiego, and myself, looking at the psychometric properties of the CBCL in the baseline ABCD cohort. We show that the commonly used CBCL structures fail to meet standards for validity and reliability

Have you been using ABCD data? Are you measuring psychopathology with the CBCL? You will want to check out our latest preprint, led by @kanepav.bsky.social, which shows that the constructs measured by the tool fail to meet many basic validity tests. Peep the thread!

V useful paper by @bttyeo.bsky.social @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social in @nature.com. Scan longer if you want to predict behav using fMRI and save $.

Great use of the TCP data: (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...).

1/11 Excited to share our @Naturestudy led by @leonooi.bsky.social @csabaorban.bsky.social @shaoshiz.bsky.social

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉
It was an honor (and so fun!) to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity:

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/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics.
