Human thalamocortical structural connectivity develops in line with a hierarchical axis of cortical plasticity - Nature Neuroscience Sydnor et al. developed a new tractography atlas of thalamocortical structural connections and applied it to three youth samples. They uncovered coordinated development between thalamic connectivity a...

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 is here and the champs from @pennlinc.bsky.social have brought their freshest work express from Philly to Brisbane. Thread below . . .please reach out + come say hi -- always looking to talk science + make new friends!!!

@stevenmeisler.com is presenting "A quality-rated, analysis-ready release of 26,174 dMRI sessions from the ABCD Study" Friday / Saturday 1810. Wooo!!!!

The Baller Lab is thrilled to announce that @elenaccooper.bsky.social just had her first first-author publication! “Investigating mood and cognition in people with multiple sclerosis: a prospective cross-sectional study protocol” is now published on BMJ Open: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/5/e094733! 🧠

Two Axes of White Matter Development https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.19.644049v1

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This paper is a huge one for me, taking years and years to get right. I can’t believe it’s finally out and I am so proud of the way it came together. Thank you to Dr Lebel for her unwavering support!

We're excited to announce version 1.2.0 of CuBIDS, a Python library for organizing BIDS datasets.

Psychedelic mental health research is booming—but how do we keep up with rapidly evolving evidence? 🌱 Our team proposes a living evidence synthesis approach to ensure clinicians, policymakers, and the public have access to the latest, most reliable data.

Is anyone else submitting abstracts for #OHBM2025 getting persistent payment declines? I've tried 4 payment methods and two browsers. Nothing seems to be going through 🫠@ohbmofficial.bsky.social any official guidance? Thanks!

We're excited to release new versions of our BIDS-Apps for processing and analyzing #dmri data, QSIPrep and QSIRecon! Our team has been working hard to prepare these pipelines to process infant data and bring them in line with the @nipreps.bsky.social ecosystem. #neuroimaging #nipreps #bids 1/10

Does it count if I used to do that?

Super excited to share our official ACORN Lab website!! 🍁🧠

Could I be added please? Thanks!

It’s even directional, anisotropic, and can (modestly) be used to infer fiber association pathways! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30277272/

👋Hi #bsky! Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be arriving at #Stanford in fall of 2024 and I'm looking for awesome people to help me figure out language. I'm new here my network is small, so RTs would be great! 🧵👇
