Is science getting too competitive?

Grant applications are skyrocketing and funding rates are decreasing.

Yet the article in Nature fails to mention the potential role that AI/LLMs in driving up grant applications.

It's becoming a lottery.

Dense Phenotyping of Human Brain Network Organization Using Precision fMRI The advent of noninvasive imaging methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) transformed cognitive neuroscience, providing insights into large-scale brain networks and their link to cog...

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?

Hemispherotomy leads to persistent sleep-like slow waves in the isolated cortex of awake humans Hemispherotomy is a neurosurgical procedure for treating refractory epilepsy by disconnecting a significant portion of the cortex. This study shows that the isolated cortex exhibits EEG patterns resem...

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Integrated omics reveals disease-associated radial glia-like cells with epigenetically dysregulated interferon response in multiple sclerosis Park, Nicaise, Tsitsipatis, and colleagues discover transcriptional and epigenetic markers in human PMS iNSCs and fibroblasts that may underlie their senescent and inflammatory state. Novel DARGs with...

Delighted to see this out in @NeuroCellPress!!!

Together with Isabel Beerman (& many other friends) we identify disease-associated radial glia-like cells (#DARGs) that fuel #inflammation and #neurodegeneration in #progressiveMS

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications!

Anytime!! (And thanks!!)

Some news …! 🤗

So excited to get started next year, and very grateful for the opportunity.

Looking forward to connecting with friends and colleagues - old and new.

Watch this space for posting on fully funded positions as the new lab starts up !

Congrats!!!

Check out this great summary of our recent paper on the impact of exposure to #THC during gestation.

Thanks @douglasresearch.bsky.social !!

It is now clear that more people are being diagnosed as autistic in their teens and as adults than in childhood. A prevailing theory is that those diagnosed later have "milder" form of autism, and later diagnosis entirely due to social factors.

Our new paper is out now in Neuron! 🎉 With @vaibhavtripathi.bsky.social @maxwellelliott.bsky.social Joanna Ladopoulou, Wendy Sun, Mark Eldaief, and Randy Buckner

The brain is incredibly densely connected. Human cerebral cortex may have as many as *one trillion* connections.

Most of those cortical connections are recurrent, inside each area. What do they do?

Authors retract Science paper on controversial fMRI method Several MRI artifacts contribute to the neuronal activity signal picked up by the method, according to a preprint the authors posted this month.

Science is self correcting. Finally!

random neuroimaging question: does anyone in bluesky-land have access to the loadings for neurosynth topics in schaefer 400 (yeo7) space? #neuroskyence @misicbata.bsky.social @richardfbetzel.bsky.social @borismontreal.bsky.social @sofievalk.bsky.social

Arousal as a universal embedding for spatiotemporal brain dynamics - Nature Reframing of arousal as a latent dynamical system can reconstruct multidimensional measurements of large-scale spatiotemporal brain dynamics on the timescale of seconds in mice.

Global brain activity (indexed by Ca2+ in the cortex) can be described by a latent arousal manifold — reliably tracked by pupil dynamics 🤯🤯

Many brain imaging “biomarkers” for autism have been proposed. Most aim for balanced accuracy (matching sensivity/specificity) on datasets where cases and controls are split 50/50. 1/🧵

Well, well, well. After a long wait, the big day is here!

@kevinh-phd.bsky.social and I finally get to share with you the book we've worked so long and hard on

I wrote a little substack about the question that powered every chapter of Food Intelligence
