Late-breaking DPhil opportunity to come with with @ten_photos @bathybicBee and me on a cool project on medication and brain health https://t.co/PbnnOB00M7

Get in touch if you want to know more!

Incredibly excited to see this work out! We've put in a lot of effort getting MMORF to this point, and I'm quietly pleased with just how well it performs. Please get in touch if you have any questions, or just want some pointers on trying MMORF with your own data. #FSL @OxfordWIN

At long last, @AmyFDHoward has shared her labor of love : BigMac! Amy has put a huge amount of work into acquiring & curating this Amy-zing dataset combining MRI with microscopy. Now she is sharing with the world. We hope you enjoy!

As recent guidelines (e.g. by @stevesphd and others) have emphasised, MR analyses ideally are part of a triangulation of evidence approach. When paired with a careful assessment of assumptions and results, MR can be a powerful tool in the neuroimager’s methodological toolbox.12/n

Our recent paper provides an introduction to Mendelian randomisation as motivated by neuroimaging data (with @ten_photos and @fmrib_steve) … https://t.co/ti6DcAIPUI. A short thread: 1/n

[Bernd Taschler @bathybicBee]

But determining a causal relationship between IDPs and higher-level traits (e.g. cognition) is much more challenging due to higher heterogeneity in effect estimates, weak genetic associations when using IDPs as exposure and likely bias from horizontal pleiotropy. 11/n

New paper out: Causal inference on neuroimaging data with Mendelian randomisation, with @ten_photos and @fmrib_steve https://t.co/ti6DcAIPUI

Brain regions related to smell show decline following mild #COVID. Paper by Gwenaelle Douaud and colleagues out now in @Nature. Using data from @uk_biobank. https://t.co/IxlhEDGFIo
