New paper alert! In this updated systematic review, we explored how air pollution associates with brain structure and function during development. We present major takeaways from this growing body of literature, and recommendations for future work!

Regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood, according to research published in @NatureNeuro. https://t.co/px69k4CXGC
Happy to share that our team’s systematic review of the impact of outdoor air pollution on the developing brain is now out in preprint!

New pub out! Using partial least squares correlations (multivariate method; identifies latent dimensions), we explored sex-stratified links between prenatal & childhood air pollution, immune function, & brain connectivity in adolescents from the ABCD Study https://t.co/4PX4fgkMKm
What if there was an antibiotic that doesn't disrupt the gut microbiome?
There is now.
A discovery published @Nature today

Yay! Check out this paper led by @62442katieb looking at variance differences in neurodevelopmental change across sociodemographic categories in #ABCD! Spoiler: there are important differences!!
New pre-print alert from me and @Marybel08 !
In this paper we discuss how, despite being used as "control/nuisance variables", there is still little discussion in neuro spaces on how it is that we operationalize/contextualize #RaceandEthnicity.

A major review of randomized trials analyzing the role that exercise can play in combating depression: https://t.co/WCZkgQaQPK
Summary: Exercise combats depression, and more exercise combats it more. The effects can be (at least) as large as pills.
Please, look after yourself.
The ENIGMA consortium is using #AI on brain scans to identify depression patients who may benefit the most from a promising new treatment using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).

Introducing... ⚡️DEEP NORMATIVE TRACTOMETRY!⚡️ Wendy Feng + Bramsh Chandio have created a generative #AI algorithm that spots anomalies in your brain's neural pathways. They distinguish microstructural versus shape anomalies using a Convolutional Variational Autoencoder that they trained on diverse diffusion MRI data (from India/US) to learn their joint high-dimensional distribution.

The study found that greater consumption of tea, processed meats and food prepared outside the home was associated with increased levels of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," in the body over time. https://t.co/cCBETpPeYf
