Kevin Weiner, an alumnus of the lab, explains how Pokémon has helped us understand the organization of the visual cortex. Check it out in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Findings indicate mature pRF location but developing spatial integration and selectivity in adolescence – supporting an extended timeline +  new framework for understanding visual cortex development 🧠

🚨 Jewelia’s new preprint! We report the first pRF mapping in teens + reveal functional fingerprints of category regions in high-level visual cortex. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How infant brains fold: Sulcal deepening is linked to development of sulcal span, thickness, curvature, and microstructure Cortical folding begins in utero as sulci emerge and continues postnatally as sulci deepen. However, the timeline and mechanisms underlying postnatal sulcal development remain unknown. Using structura...

Curious how infant brains fold?
I’m excited to share our new study spearheaded by Sarah Tung and Vaidehi Natu now on bioRxiv!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Sarah and Vaidehi examined how the grooves of the brain (sulci) develop in individual infant’s brain during the first year of life.

Excited to share on my first post on Bluesky our new paper in NHB examine the innate and developing aspects of the wiring of the visual system. Congratulations to @emilykubota.bsky.social and the baby MRI team on this important work
