What a nice way to come back from annual leave to see this published. Had a wonderful time working on this project with a fabulous colleague @Loojz and others.

My lovely colleague is running to support @theirworld and #TheirworldEBC

[Melissa Thye @MelissaThye]

I’m running the #EdinburghHalf Marathon for @theirworld children’s charity, supporting preterm birth research with #TheirworldEBC in the Jennifer Brown Research Lab.

Donations/RTs welcome! https://t.co/ws2f16GiEa

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

Very pleased to share the preprint of the final manuscript from my PhD #TheirworldEBC @EdinUniNeuro @EdinUni_CRH

[James P Boardman @JamesPBoardman]

New preprint:

Gut bacterial community composition is associated with MRI markers of encephalopathy of prematurity, indicating a role for microbiota-brain interactions in cerebral development after preterm birth.

It was a pleasure to work closely together with my friend @mblesacabez; it really was a team effort @JamesPBoardman @_bethyork @dr_sully @DavidStoye and others not on Twitter.
Work done at @EdinUni_CRH @EdinUniNeuro

I’m delighted to share the publication of our work in #TheirworldEBC on myelin-sensitive magnetisation transfer imaging (MTI) in the neonatal brain: https://t.co/Rwsn6PBcNH

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

We are very proud to be among the first to publish neonatal work in the new non-profit journal @ImagingNeurosci

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

Ready for poster session! Today&tomorrow at 12:45 #OHBM2023

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

My poster 1633 looks into the microbiota-gut-brain axis of preterm infants by integrating multimodal brain MRI and bacterial sequencing.

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

Thanks all in @JamesPBoardman lab, @theirworld, @MRC_CRH, @wellcometrust, @EdinUniNeuro

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

Interested in neonatal neuroimaging and preterm birth? Come and chat with us at #OHBM2023 about the research we do at #TheirworldEBC. @katie_may_mck @mblesacabez and I will be by our posters 1633, 2377, 2421 and 2315 Tuesday and Wednesday.

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

@mblesacabez (poster 2421) developed a new approach for creating a neonatal brain template.

[Katie Mckinnon @katie_may_mck]

I’m delighted to announce the publication of the first paper from my PhD, describing the association of preterm birth and socioeconomic status (SES) with neonatal brain structure. https://t.co/sUPyT6HW6i (1/3)

[Kadi Vaher @KadiiV]

Very grateful for this opportunity to present part of my @EdinUniNeuro
PhD work at this wonderful meeting of the microbiome-gut-brain axis @MindMicrobes
#MMM2023

[Mind Mood & Microbes 2025 @MindMicrobes]

Kadie Vaher describes different infant gut bacteria that are correlated with features of brain development (shown via brain imaging) in preterm infants.

It has been a privilege working on this project and alongside a team of amazing scientists! Thank you for an enjoyable day @CJStewart7 @heathersibley99 #PhDone

[James P Boardman @JamesPBoardman]

Congratulations to @KadiiV for passing her PhD viva with no corrections👋👋. Her thesis concerns the microbiome-gut-brain-axis in brain development, cognition and behaviour, including impacts of preterm birth. Big thx to examiners Heather Whalley and Chris Stewart.
