PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology and Psychiatry @bcmhouston | #MRI physicist trying to understand #neuroscience through #neuroimaging

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

@JunqianXuLab will relocate to Baylor College of Medicine @bcmhouston. As a proud mentor of four fellowship awardees, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing them achieving their own career milestones as well. I appreciate the opportunities provided to me by @IcahnMountSinai

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

A tour de force effort by Dr. Benjamin Ely @Braines to characterize #habenula functional connectivity in healthy young adults from the @HumanConnectome Project, revealing connectivity with #salience network, early sensory cortices, and a strong bias towards task-positive regions.

[Benjamin A. Ely @Brainses]

My paper mapping human #habenula functional connectivity in healthy adults using data from @HumanConnectome is now in press @NeuroImage_EiC! Many thanks to @JunqianXuLab for guiding and supporting this work https://t.co/vX9DFqMR6Z

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Every alumnus (graduate student or postdoctoral fellow) from @JunqianXuLab gets a handpicked children's picture book before leaving the lab. Dr. Benjamin Ely got #HappyDreamer written by Peter H. Reynolds @peterhreynolds

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Congrats to @GradSchoolSinai #neuroscience PhD candidate Benjamin Ely, co-mentored by Drs. Emily Stern and Vilma Gabbay, for successfully defending his dissertation "Function and anatomy of the human #habenula circuit". Proud to hood him during the hooding ceremony @LincolnCenter

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

@JeffMYau @MtSinaiRehabMed No task, entirely based on resting-state fMRI, which is the beauty of this approach for people with #SpinalCordInjury. The parcellations are the HCP group-level MMP-v1.0 from Glasser et al., Nature 2016. There are clear individual variation from the group-level boundaries.

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

@JunqianXuLab will present poster (TH242, abstract #4212), titled "Towards individual-level somatotopic mapping in chronic #SpinalCordInjury using multimodal MRI" today in Category: Disorders of the Nervous System -> Other #OHBM2019 at Rome, Italy. In collab. w/ @MtSinaiRehabMed

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Dr. Benjamin Ely will present poster (M064, abstract #4737), titled "Aberrant #habenula connectivity in #adolescent mental illness" today in Category: Disorders of the Nervous System -> Research Domain Criteria studies (#RDoC) #OHBM2019 at Rome, Italy. Collab. w/ Dr. Vilma Gabbay

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Dr. Alan Seifert's @alancseifert paper "Formalin tissue fixation biases #myelin‐sensitive MRI" is out in @MagResMed https://t.co/ou0mnQbPtn, which urges caution in the comparison of qMT and MWI results across specimens in different states, especially unfixed versus fixed tissue.

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Dr @alancseifert @MtSinaiPostdocs presented poster "Impact of Formalin Fixation on Myelin-Sensitive MRI Methods" in the @bic_ismms symposium

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Congratulations again to @MtSinaiPostdocs Dr. Alan Seifert @alancseifert for being awarded @ISMRM Junior Fellow this year, with pictures from the #ISMRM19 awards ceremony.

[BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute @BMEIIsinai]

Congratulations to Dr Alan Seifert, new @ISMRM #juniorfellow #ISMRM19 @JunqianXuLab @TMIInyc @IcahnMountSinai

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

I'm excited to be selected as one of the inaugural @ReproNim / @INCForg fellows this year. Can't wait to implement the Reproducible Neuroimaging training syllabus developed in today's "train the trainer" workshop and disseminate locally as a training workshop.

[INCF @INCForg]

Congratulations to the @ReproNim/@INCForg 2019-2020 Training Fellowship in Reproducible Neuroimaging awardees!

Eleven outstanding fellows from around the world have been accepted & will start their fellowship year with a WS in Rome, prior to @OHBM 2019.

@INM7_ISN @SOBP @OHBM Hasn't @NINDStrials nailed down the definition of #biomarker pretty solidly already: "A biomarker is a defined characteristic that is used as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes or responses to a therapeutic intervention."? https://t.co/wdzvNAaqn9

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

@AnticevicLab It rings the bell to me that we cited his 1985 PNAS article "Dispersion of growing axons within the optic nerve of the embryonic monkey" in our very recent Neuroimage optic nerve dMRI paper. Wish articles nowadays could be so short but still so influential as in the old days.

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

In collaboration with Dr. Jesper Andersson @OxfordWIN and Dr. Sheng-Kwei Song and Dr. Robert Naismith's teams @WUSTLmed. Stay tuned for clinical imaging results, using our improved human #OpticNerve diffusion imaging method, in #OpticNeuritis patients, conducted @WUSTLmed.

[Junqian Gordon Xu @JunqianXuLab]

Dr. Joo-won Kim's paper "Incorporating non-linear alignment and multi-compartmental modeling for improved human #OpticNerve diffusion imaging" is out in @NeuroImage_EiC, in which we address long-standing issues of #OpticNerve motion and CSF contamination. https://t.co/h5QlMxKFnY
