In this recent DPN study, @nicolerzurcher.bsky.social & colleagues adapted an AI-based segmentation tool to accurately delineate the choroid plexus in autism spectrum disorder. This approach helps quantify choroid plexus volume across large neuroimaging datasets.

Led by Santiago Lรณpez Pereyra & @jengoldschmiedphd.bsky.social, this study demonstrates that combining two novel TMS-derived metrics with standard motor-evoked potentials classifies unmedicated major depressive disorder with 83.3% accuracy.

This study by @drsarahsperry.bsky.social & colleagues shows that in bipolar disorder, better mood and higher daily steps predicted each other from day to day, while more intense physical activity improved next-day mood but was not influenced by mood.

Really important insight from @suthanalab.bsky.social. There seems to be lots of general agreement about the importance for cross-species analysis. But, in practice and in the trenches - there's a real divide on how to do it and how to implement it. Appreciate these conversations being raised!

Hey #Neuroscientists and #Educators,
Does anyone know of a good 3D brain model for kids with structures labeled that can be taken apart?
Looking for accuracy and to support smaller businesses / #neuroartists rather than a big box store.

Diversity supplements werenโ€™t just for folks from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility extended to first gen college students and researchers with disabilities, among others

Cancelling these supplements limits opportunities for the next generation of scientists, as explained here
