Disentangling metabolic and neurovascular timescales supporting cognitive processes | PNAS The balance between neural excitation and inhibition (EIB), governed by glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission, is an essential mechanism su...

Excited to share such a career milestone 🌟 Our new @pnas.org paper shows how E–I balance drives dynamic brain adaptation.

Predicting attention deficits and functional recovery after glioma resection through functional executive networks: insights from dynamic properties - Journal of Neuro-Oncology Background Postoperative short-term attentional and executive dysfunctions are common after brain tumor resection, significantly impacting patients’ quality of life and functional recovery. This longi...

🚨 New paper out!

Presurgical brain dynamics (resting-state fMRI) predict short-term cognitive deficits after glioma surgery. Most recover by 3 months — deficits are transient and manageable. 🧠

Huge thanks to my PhD mentor Jorge Jovicich!

Functional Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Symposium II: 31st August – 2nd September 2025 To be held in Bangor Gwynedd, in lovely North Wales. This year the fMRS symposium will be held jointly (one after the other) with the 9th GABA and Edited MRS symposium. We therefore invite all inte…

The second fMRS symposium (Sept 2025) is now open for early registration and abstract submission. Hosted at Bangor Uni, situated in beautiful north Wales, not to be missed if you're into measuring dynamic neurophysiology/neurotransmitters and cutting-edge MR spectroscopy methods. shorturl.at/Q1A5p

Huge congrats to @bcassone.bsky.social for leading this collaborative effort so brilliantly! 🎉 Fascinating to find out how functional connectivity fingerprint holds strong across TRs - great insights on optimizing fMRI acquisition. 🧠 Thrilled to see this out in HBM! ✨
