Had a FANTASTIC time at #fitng2025 in Dublin - presenting preliminary results on how perinatal iron-related metrics shape infant brain maturation, coordinating events with the trainee committee, & catching up with friends and collaborators!! 🍀🧠👶 #babybrains
Dr. Jessica Gemignani asks how speech is special by presenting newborns speech and monkey vocalizations during simultaneous fNIRS-EEG! 💬🚨⚡️ #FITNG2025
Dr. Tineke Snijders examines how individual differences in EEG relate to language processing at both slow and fast timescales! 🕐⚡️🧠 #FITNG2025
Using the baby connectome project (an amazing resource!) and correlational tractography, Dr. Alex Dufford @ajdneuro.bsky.social links white matter to measures of anxiety in both infants and older children! #FITNG2025
Dr. Victoria Leong kicks off our last session of the day on Social, Emotional, and Language Development by discussing her exciting work on the Parent-Child Interactome! 👩👧🧠👶 #FITNG2025
So great to see so much OPM-MEG showcased at #FITNG2025! Come see my own contribution demonstrating fetal OPM-MEG with visual stimulation responses at poster P2-H-96. We plan to take this much further in the next few years, also happy to chat about the postdoc or PhD position we have available!
Closing out the session is @janelleliu.bsky.social sharing her work on trimester-specific and dose-related effects of prenatal opioid exposure on infant neurodevelopmental trajectories measured with MRI 🧠👶🧲 #FITNG2025
Siân Wilson presented on the developing brain AND heart! She investigated how congenital heart disease relates to cortical folding in the prenatal period using MRI 🧠❤️🧲 #FITNG2025
Yanbin Niu leveraged diffusion MRI from large infant cohorts to understand microstructural properties of the developing brain and associations with early psychopathology risk 👶🧲🧠 #FITNG2025
We are looking forward to a great talk from Dr. James Boardman on the gut-brain-axis during our Clinical Questions session! #FITNG2025 🧠🦠👶
Hot topics were discussed in our Think Tank groups this morning! From what innovative methods need developing to are we only scanning chill babies, conversations were flowing!! We hope everyone got something out of it #FITNG2025
Thank you to everyone who attended the Trainee Social, we had a blast and hope you did too! ☘️ See you bright and early for day 2 of #fitng2025
Join the FIT'NG Trainee Committee at the Porterhouse Temple Bar for the annual Trainee Social - all are welcome #fitng2025
Final Talk of the Day: Dr. Parvaneh Adibpour combines the advantages of EEG and MRI (simultaneously!) to uncover how the infant brain represents sound sequences! #fitng2025
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Day 1 of #FITNG2025! 👏

#FITNG2025
Welcome back!
Next is our 🔑 Keynote Presentation by Dr. Margot Taylor: "Expanding the frontiers of neuroimaging in toddlers with wearable OPM-MEG." 🧠✨
#FITNG2025
Lunch with Professors is well underway! This is the first year we are holding this trainee-led event and we hope everyone is having super fruitful conversations! #FITNG2025
It’s been such an inspiring week at #flux2025 in the beautiful city of Dublin! Now the excitement continues with #FITNG2025 🧠💚
Thanks to our trainee committee for organizing this wonderful event and to all the professors who accepted the invitation to share their experience !! #fitng2025 👶🧠 with @karlaholmboe.bsky.social @catcamacho.bsky.social @kingspfig.bsky.social @camerontellis.bsky.social @klhumphreys.bsky.social
Wonderful to see fetal OPM-MEG developing nicely. Congrats to Chiara Capparini for a wonderful talk and her young investigator award! #FITNG2025
Finally in the Methods session, Dr Huili Sun just showed us how the measure of brain network controllability is evolving over the fetal and neonatal stages - Preprint available! #FITNG2025
