@karlmehta I study the anterior cingulate (amongst other brain systems). To reduce all of will power down to a single brain region is an oversimplification of the complexity of how the brain works and is more click bait than anything

New paper by ACNL alumni Kate Damme in JAMA Pediatrics explains how the timing of stressful events relative to neurodevelopment can help identify risk factors (looking backward) and predict future psychopathology (looking forward) at the individual level! https://t.co/FRHNcBwqC4

What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?

Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after undergoing an arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

Our paper has been published @NatureGenet! Through new statistical methods, we shed light on fundamental questions about cellular response to genetic perturbations. Our work is a substantial advance towards rigorous characterization and comparison of massive perturbation atlases.
