Gene dosage disorders (GDDs) are a naturally occurring model for probing genetic influences on brain development. What can we glean about human brain vulnerability by profiling brain changes across multiple imaging modalities and GDDs?

Our paper is now out in Neuron! @NeuroCellPress (details from preprint thread below, now with more results and containerized pipeline!) w/ @bogglerapture @edbullmore @petra_vertes and amazing coauthors

Last day to come chat about our @CmicUcl hackathon project (poster 1518 @OHBM) on heterogeneity of atrophy patterns in Alzheimer’s disease! This was a wholly collaborative effort and one of the highlights of my time at UCL this past year 😊

If you're interested in sex differences in brain anatomy across species (humans and mice) come check out my poster @ 12:15 - 14:15 / #962. #OHBM2023 @bogglerapture

@RemiGau @ufangyang @brainhackorg Omg I forgot to mention that very relevant bit of info

[Liza Levitis @LevitisLiza]

finally met @RemiGau and @ufangyang in person after years of working on @brainhackorg related events and papers together!!

[Ellie Thompson @e_thompson93]

Big day for our CU-MONDAI team at #OHBM2023 today. @TiantianH98 is making her conference debut with an ✨oral presentation✨ in the neurodegeneration session this afternoon, presenting her work combining models of pathology production and spread

[Liza Levitis @LevitisLiza]

Some lovely disease progression modeling content from @e_thompson93 at @OHBM ! @CmicUcl

Secure first ever research grant at the PI level? Check! ✅

@lemwisse and I will use AI to segment super-resolution slices of the medial temporal lobe.

We will soon open a postdoc position. Please reach out if you have AI skills and interest in AD or neuroanatomy!

How does carrying an extra chromosome impact genome function in humans ? Our new paper @PNASNews gets at this question for 3 human cell types - starting with the X and Y chromosomes and extending to chromosome 21. Led by the fabulous Siyuan Liu with a great collaborative team ...

@Lukas_Schaffe @CUBoulder @Andrew_Grotz Congrats, Luke!!! 🎉🧠🥰

[Elvisha Dhamala @elvisha9]

I'm recruiting 1-2 postdocs to join the Brain-Based Predictive Modeling Lab (https://t.co/f6GinmCBxN) at @zhhresearch to study neurobiological correlates of complex human behavior.

Minimum starting salary of $75K + additional discretionary research funding.

Please retweet!

Thank you for following along, and I’d like to thank the amazing co-authors involved in this project @ethanwhitman777 @AllysaWarling (+ those not on twitter) and my transatlantic supervisory team @fishpiechicken @bogglerapture !

These findings advance our understanding of the 3 most common chromosomal aneuploidies in humans and identify a shared backbone of cortical vulnerability between genetically-and behaviorally-defined neuropsychiatric disorders in humans.
