Gonadal and sex chromosomal contributions to sex differences in mammalian brain organization www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... - really nice work from Armin Raznahan @bogglerapture.bsky.social and colleagues

This great idea was @fmri-today.bsky.social 's and provides a unique glimpse into the emerging trends in @ohbmofficial.bsky.social - all the articles are great reads and entry points into the different corners of research presented at @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

👀 for "State of the Brain 2025"

@apertureohbm.bsky.social publishes an annual set of commentaries from @ohbmofficial.bsky.social leaders (podium presenters, award winners, etc) on the "State of the Brain". This is our (mostly @fmri-today.bsky.social 's) - review of "State of the Brain 2024"

Happy to share another important piece of the puzzle as we try to figure out the chicken-or-egg question of cannabis use in schizophrenia: Investigating the polygenic relationship between heavy cannabis use and schizophrenia in the All of Us Research Program www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The paper is really well summarized in two paragraphs of the abstract. So I'm going to leave that here for food for thought.

Happy holidays!

How distributed is the brain-wide network that is recruited for cognition? - Nature Reviews Neuroscience Both localized and distributed views on the functional organization of the brain have been put forward. In this Perspective, Rosen and Freedman examine the degree to which these two views account for ...

As we chase whole-brain signatures of cognition with fMRI, this fascinating perspective argues that cognitive signals are broadly distributed...but far from everywhere! For those of us using whole-brain neuroimaging lots to think about..

This is such an impressive review on the impact of prenatal cannabis exposure. Big big shout out to @haleyv.bsky.social‬ for her impressive leadership here! She herded many cats interested in cannabinoids.

Sometimes there are some great lines when reading science papers:
