Mapping cerebral blood perfusion and its links to multi-scale brain organization across the human lifespan How does cerebral blood perfusion map onto micro-, meso- and macro-scale brain structure? Using arterial spin labeling data from the Human Connectome Project, this study provides a detailed characteri...

🚨 New preprint alert!

Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.

Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.

👇 Highlights (1/7):

four brain maps showing noise ceiling estimates in response to image presentation

New CNeuroMod-THINGS open-access fMRI dataset: 4 participants · ~4 000 images (720 categories) each shown 3× (12k trials per subject)· individual functional localizers & NSD-inspired QC . Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.09024 Congrats Marie St-Laurent and @martinhebart.bsky.social !!

Keynote series Dr. Joana Cabral - The Brain’s Slow Dance: How Macroscale Oscillations Orchestrate Long-Range Neural Communication — OHBM Communications A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Joana Cabral (University of Minho) reveals how slow, brain-wide oscillations—detected via ultrafast fMRI—coordinate long-range neural communication in female rats. ...

We loved Dr Joana Cabral's excellent keynote at #OHBM2025

In our latest #BrainBite, we created a summary of some of her work, written for non-experts.

I also explored the city via the ferry and walked/ran across at least three bridges each day. I was blown away by beautiful Brisbane on my very first trip to Australia!

I got to see some old friends and made some new ones along the way.

That's a wrap on #OHBM2025! I taught in an educational course on hippocampal neuroanatomy and gave a symposium talk on the role of medial temporal lobe subregions in associative inference

This is your quarterly reminder that the hippocampus is a cortical (not subcortical) structure! Nicola Palomero-Gallagher underscored this point during our #OHBM2025 educational course!

"It takes a village to raise a child."

Thanks to all the members of the SP-SIG and everyone who has helped behind the scenes with the upcoming events at #OHBM2025

Loved meeting some of the Brizzie locals!

🎉🎉#OHBM2025 is just around the corner! Remember to visit the SP-SIG stall next to the registration desk and add stickers to your badge describing your research interests!

Searching for a postdoc to work on 2 newly NIH-funded projects using intracranial EEG with TMS and direct electrical stimulation to investigate hippocampal networks supporting episodic memory. Research Scientist could also work for post-post-doc candidates. Plz spread!

YouTube video by Organization for Human Brain Mapping OHBM 2025 Keynote Interview: Alessandro Gozzi

Coming to #OHBM2025 from the mountains of northern Italy, Prof. Alessandro Gozzi (@gozziale.bsky.social) shares his path from pharma to pioneering rodent fMRI, and how preclinical imaging can answer causal questions in neuroscience.

Thanks @fmri-today.bsky.social for the interview! I really enjoyed sharing my work on your podcast.

Thanks, Simon!
