Four pivotal ages in your brain's development revealed in new scientific study Brain scans on thousands of people reveal the dramatic shifts the brain goes through between birth and death.

Thrilled to have been awarded funding by @acceleratescience.bsky.social @c2d3.cam.ac.uk
to develop an AI tool for interpreting dementia profiles from large-scale population modelling of neuroimaging data

Big thanks to @raibethlehem.bsky.social and to the Accelerate-C2D3 team for all the support!

Delighted to share our new Perspective article @natrevneuro.nature.com, led by the great @edoardochidichimo.bsky.social : "Towards an informational account of interpersonal coordination". With @loopyluppi.bsky.social, Pedro Mediano, @introspection.bsky.social, Victoria Leong and Richard Bethlehem.

Almost couldn't see them through the amazing camouflage, until I spotted some hovering Vans sneakers.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Charting structural brain asymmetry across the human lifespan Lateralization is a fundamental principle of structural brain organization. In vivo imaging of brain asymmetry is essential for deciphering lateralized brain functions and their disruption in neurodev...

Massive update to the braincharts!! Led by Lena Dorfschmidt, @aarona-b.bsky.social and Jakob Seidlitz for the LBCC. New models, new phenotypes, more data, more insight, more, more more!! Another @upenn.edu @campsydept.bsky.social and now also KCL team-up! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint out! We mapped brain vulnerability in Alzheimer’s using MIND networks + population modelling.
Put this together with a brilliant team @raibethlehem.bsky.social @sarahmorganuk.bsky.social and many more still making their way to Bluesky

We ask if there is *any* shared genetics between autism and some selected structural MRI phenotypes.

Happy to share my last PhD work "Genetic, transcriptomic, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric underpinnings of cortical functional gradients". We used UKB, HCP, and QTAB to analyze the genetics of functional gradients. The results are so good, consistent, and inspiring! (1/3)
