How do cortical perturbations affect fMRI connectivity? Not necessarily as one would expect! Our new work @NatureComms shows that cortical inactivation may unexpectedly INCREASE fMRI connectivity! https://t.co/Bhs9ulbn6N
🧵below explains how. Spoiler: δ oscillations are key! 1/n

Our latest work is now out in @NatureNeuro 🎉

Using brain scans in 🐭mice and humans 👨 we show that variable patterns of brain activity in #autism reflect distinct underlying biological mechanisms!

Can we use brain scans to identify biologically distinct "autisms"? And If so, how?

In our latest cross-species study 🐭👨we dive into these questions!

Using fMRI from 20 mouse models and large human cohorts, a new study in @NatureNeuro identifies two dominant dysconnectivity patterns linked to distinct molecular signatures in #autism.

https://t.co/wL99PjGKee

Is large-scale brain communication purely cooperative — or is competition a core organizing principle?

We built 🧠models to find out: read on🧵👇

Excited to share our latest work describing our perspective on stratifying autism by a type I vs type II distinction in early development. https://t.co/3bfNdz4d6i

How do diverse synapses relate to the spatial patterning of whole-brain dynamics? @JustineYHansen explores @PLOSBiology ⤵️

[Neurotar @Neurotar_team]

Can #fUSI do connectomics? 🤔
@chiarapepe95 @Gozzi_Ale & colleagues show that transcranial #fUSI can resolve canonical cortical & subcortical networks, and even reproduce hallmark fMRI dynamics like CAPs! 👏👏👏

[Luiz Pessoa @PessoaBrain]

@chiarapepe95 @Gozzi_Ale Next you should investigate full-blown dynamics with the switching linear dynamical systems I presented 😅
