Very happy that this paper from our lab is now out in @pnas.org! What happens when the *same* person experiences the *same* information with a *different* interpretation? Nearly the whole 🧠—well, at least nearly all association cortex—changes how it represents that information! tinyurl.com/p8chj2j7

Some very nice work by my students! Where we are with brain-behavior associations and where we're hoping to go!

Anatomic & functional brain atlases: connecting functional flexibility with fixed infrastructure - Brain Structure and Function Brain Structure and Function - Recent advancements in imaging across scales has propelled the development of anatomic brain atlases reflecting a wide range of cellular properties. It’s...

It's important to note that when discussing brain structure-function relationships across scales, that the definition of function changes with scale. Keep it straight! @sbe.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I wrote an perspectives piece relevant to the structural atlasing endeavors. Structural atlases are not the end of the story. This perspective calls for models that take into account the flexible functional organization within this fixed architecture.

Dynamic brain mechanisms supporting salient memories under cortisol The stress-related hormone cortisol alters dynamic brain networks predicting memory and arousal to promote emotional memories.

How does cortisol tune brain networks to form strong emotional memories? Excited to share new work led by amazing former RA Flory Huang w collabs Rajita Sinha and @toddc.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A related problem we have, which the university is just starting to recognize, is that a primary consideration for promotion for junior faculty is establishing independence... #competingpriorities

Great to have @timlawn.bsky.social visiting today and presenting some really interesting findings. Cool stuff.

Strong work AJ and team - good to see this come together!

Good times when some of the Oxford crew come to town - Mark Woolrich and Kia Nobre and crew.

Multimodal identification of the mouse brain using simultaneous Ca2+ imaging and fMRI - Communications Biology Using simultaneously acquired wide-field fluorescence calcium imaging and BOLD-fMRI, subject-specific signatures are observable in the mouse connectome, with stronger individual specific patterns evident in the calcium data.

Really proud to share this w/ @francimandi.bsky.social from the Lake lab: we applied fingerprinting in a simultaneous wide-field fluorescence Ca2+ imaging and BOLD-fMRI dataset in mice!

It was a pleasure to host our last BRAIN U19 site visit. Thank you Randy Buckner @toddc.bsky.social and NIH BRAIN program for constructive criticism and encouragement!
It's a travesty that funding for large Team Science projects is going away. We are so much better together!

Awesome stuff here from @annierhcheng.bsky.social g.bsky.social and @yiplab.bsky.social using predictive modelling of fMRI connectivity data to find markers of impulsivity and negative affect in IMAGEN and ABCD

w/ @toddc.bsky.social, @baderchaarani.bsky.social et al.

Functional connectome fingerprinting: identifying individuals using patterns of brain connectivity - Nature Neuroscience This study shows that every individual has a unique pattern of functional connections between brain regions. This functional connectivity profile acts as a ‘fingerprint’ that can accurately identify the individual from a large group. Furthermore, an individual's connectivity profile can predict his or her level of fluid intelligence.

Proud to note that @esfinn.bsky.social 's paper just passed the 3000 citations mark - very cool! www.nature.com/articles/nn.... Thanks to the Emily and the team!

Check out or incredible list of confirmed speakers. More to come...

Sadly my YWG-YYZ-LGA flights were cancelled. Flying Delta 2 days later...Enjoy :)

Whole-brain functional connectivity predicts regional tau PET in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease Abuwarda et al. demonstrate that whole brain functional connectivity predicts regional tau tracer binding in preclinical Alzheimer's disease. Their models

Hamid Abuwarda's paper showing that we can use the functional connectome to predict focal tau binding in preclinical Alzheimer's disease is out today!

whooop whoop!! If you’re looking for a Monday read….👇🏻so nice to see this out!!! @daveocskys.bsky.social @toddc.bsky.social @coreyhorien.bsky.social

Excited to be at the Mt. Sinai Be Bold symposium hosted by Zahi Fayad. It’s not often that I’m on a panel that follows Arianna Huffington. Should be fun #BMEII2025

Great visit today from Zhi-Pei Liang (with Doug Rothman)!

or don't buy any - just make your own drones. Fighter jets are a little out of date.

I'm looking forward to participating in this symposium next week at Mt. Sinai! Should be cool!

Thanks for coming Lauren and for your stimulating presentation! Hope to get you back for the next one!

Such a great group of people. What an awesome meeting!

@drbreaky.bsky.social explain neural field theory and brain oscillations. Fantastic stuff. #whistlerbrain2025

What are Social Connections? @sofievalk.bsky.social explains! #whistlerbrain2025

Eli Muller explaining linear dynamics in fMRI.

@Tor Wager considering ensembles of neurons and how these can related regions to voxel activity patterns aka mvpa.

What can we learn about the brain from neurosurgical patients. What do lesions tell us. @ Natalie Voets
#whistlerbrain2025

@borismontreal.bsky.social walking us through structure function relationships. A real tour de force! #whistlerbrain2025
