Check out our new opinion paper where @jyeatman.bsky.social and I lay out how education settings provide a unique window into learning and plasticity in humans, and why we think that intervention studies - as difficult as they are - are worth the effort. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

#JNeurosci: Stone, @mayayablonski.bsky.social, @jyeatman.bsky.social, @jamielmitchell.bsky.social, et al. found that text-selective regions in the inferior frontal cortex are linked to reading proficiency in children, showing sensitivity to both stimulus and task responses.

Awesome news Monica! Would be great to have you around!

In a sample of children, we describe 3 distinct regions in the frontal lobe that show strong task effects that are highly specific to text, even when kids were not required to read. We further find that across children, the level of text-selectivity is associated with their reading proficiency.

Anatomically Distinct Regions in the Inferior Frontal Cortex Are Modulated by Task and Reading Skill The inferior frontal cortex (IFC) is a critical region for reading and language. This part of the cortex is highly heterogeneous in its structural and functional organization and shows high variabilit...

First senior author paper! Excited to share this work led by Hannah Stone with the dream team @jamielmitchell.bsky.social, Mia Fuentes-Jimenez, Jasmine Tran, and of course the mentorship and guidance of @jyeatman.bsky.social . Now out in the Journal of Neuroscience- www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...

On 15 May, we're organizing a very special hybrid event at the FIL: a Symposium on Setbacks in Science!
In a series of talks and discussions with a wonderful set of speakers, we will address the disappointments that are entirely common in research, but that we all hesitate to talk about. (1/3)

What a wonderful idea! will this be recorded or accessible later for audience in places where the time difference makes it difficult to attend?

Hey SUFS Community!

If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us:

1. Had a funded grant revoked
2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research
3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

Wow, great news! Congrats Ziv! 👏🏆

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of scanning children or clinical populations, this can be a game changer! We hope this work helps future users of magnetic resonance fingerprinting and hope to see soon more quantitative MRI in dev neuro!

how different choices you make in acquisition and analysis affect reliability- this one’s for you. Together with Zihan Zhou who did the heavy lifting on the physics and reconstruction end, we found that a 2-minute scan can reliably capture quantitative individual differences in white matter. 2/n→

Out in Imaging Neuroscience - out of our need to cut down scan time for fidgety children came out a cool collaboration with the Setsompop lab, where we examined the reliability of their novel fingerprinting approach to quantitative MRI. If you ever wanted to try a new protocol but weren’t sure 1/n→

1st preprint of 2025! @jamielmitchell.bsky.social found that as children with dyslexia improve their reading ability, their reading area in the brain grows, yet remains markedly different from their peers. So excited to see this after years of data collection with this great team! Feedback welcome!

Go for it! I took it a couple of years ago and I highly recommend it

No more science left in the other place, hope to find more here.
