Our latest work looking at the neuroanatomical basis of impulsivity in youth is out now in Molecular Psychiatry!
🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Transdiagnostic latent factor models of psychopathology are widely assumed to improve brain-behaviour associations. So we decided to test this directly and found that they don't. A short 🧵

Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved kitty Coco. We miss her terribly but I am glad I was able to immortalize her in Figures 1 and 2 of my 2021 Synthese paper. Hopefully she will meet Fodor's Greycat in kitty heaven.
Important call for action on the integration of research programs across species. Meaningful progress in the brain sciences will require cross-field collaborations and research that spans human and non-human animal models.
Me getting to know a new dataset...
My new chapter of Better Code, Better Science on AI-assisted coding is now complete! It's been completely revised in an attempt to futureproof it. Comments welcome. bettercodebetterscience.github.io/book/ai-codi...

An opportunity to work with a great group of people across Harvard, MIT, and UC Berkeley.
Mental health is shaping survival after heart disease—yet we rarely treat it that way. A new meta-analysis of 22 million people links PTSD, anxiety, depression & insomnia with higher risk of acute coronary syndrome. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
🌟 Job alert! We are looking for a postdoc to join a multidisciplinary research team working on the Individually Measured Phenotypes to Advance Computational Translation at Yale (IMPACT-Y) study.

The postdoctoral associate will lead and contribute to the analysis of behavioral task data using computational modeling approaches, working closely with me, @robbrutledge.bsky.social, and with IMPACT-Y leadership,
Drs. @yiplab.bsky.social, Chris Pittenger and Godfrey Pearlson.
Thanks Avram!!
Neuro friends: Any one ever try tract-tracing studies in the insula or cingulate (in rats or mice) and find a connection there? It keeps showing up in resting-state studies and outside of pIC to pACC inhibitory projections here (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37605272/), I can't find much else!
To apply email xiaosi.gu@yale.edu!!

*can this be a thing??
Amazing opportunity to work at the intersection of complex clinical psychiatry and advanced neuroimaging research!!!
Been thinking for a few years about what I call the *replication ceiling*: the maximum replicability of an effect given constraints in data in which replication takes place (power, measurement error, sampling variability, etc). This leads to a maximum theoretical replicability which can be achieved.
Take a look at our paper! Led by @francimandi.bsky.social in the Lake lab: "Longitudinal, simultaneous wide-field fluorescent Ca2+ imaging and fMRI in awake mice" !!!!

Really interesting, brief ideas paper. Clearly relevant to treatment research-- the mechanism by which you leave an illness state is unlikely to just be the opposite of the mechanism by which you entered it (can see how this might apply to e.g. SSRIs in depression).
Check out the latest work from this superstar team to learn how you can go from big data to small data with transfer learning to advance precision psychiatry!

Anybody else worried that because of the long standing Republican war on SNAP people are going to experience painful hunger. Lets do something. @nanopharmnc.bsky.social and i are going to donate to some local nc food banks. Join us! Gonna match up to $500.
Excited to share this review in @biologicalpsych.bsky.social on using transfer learning to leverage large MRI datasets & enhance precision psychiatry!!

Interested in the maternal brain and addiction? @yiplab.bsky.social and I are hiring a postdoc to work on our study examining psychosocial and neural markers of stress during the perinatal period in moms receiving treatment for OUD. See link for more details: postdocs.yale.edu/posts/2025-1...
