The so called mystery outbreak in Chinese children probably isn’t a mystery. There is one germ though that they’re reporting that we should take notice of. https://t.co/8lnjygstYD

New work from our lab out now in @NatureComms! A similarly sized marsupial takes 3x longer to develop than a mouse, but do all cortical neurodevelopmental processes temporally scale to different timeframe uniformly? No! 🦘👩‍🔬🧠🔬https://t.co/mo1uc5fnQm

Getting a diagnosis of #ADHD or #Autism is rarely a linear process. At #AADPA23 this weekend, PhD candidate @rachael_knott1 will be talking about the longer delays to diagnosis for kids with *both* conditions, and girls with autism or both conditions.

....and @m_gajwani's work at Poster #1182 looking at how different preprocessing choices affect the consistency with which we can identify hubs with diffusion MRI

[Alex Fornito @AFornito]

Be sure to check out @IvaIlioska ‘s talk on Sunday 16:45 where she will discuss “Multiscale heterogeneity of functional connectivity in autism“.

Questions about the imaging similarities between people w/ autism? Iva can tell you about it at the level of nodes, regions & networks

[Alex Fornito @AFornito]

On Monday (11:00) the inimitable @StuartJOldham will be discussing

Development of thalamocortical connectivity during the third trimester

Not to be missed if you have any interest in developmental connectomics, or want to see an AMAZING presenter with some powerpoint magic!

[Alex Fornito @AFornito]

And dont forget that on Monday, you can come along to talk to @cyctbdbw at Poster #1108, where he used eigenmodes to examine cortical morphological asymmetries in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

[Alex Fornito @AFornito]

On Tuesday 10:30, alum @SidChop (now at Yale with @AvramHolmes) will be talking about

Connectome-based Spreading of Grey Matter Abnormalities Across the Psychosis Continuum
