In the latest episode of our #BreakthroughsPodcast, Molly Bright, DPhil, explains how a novel #fMRI method maps blood flow in the #SpinalCord, without dyes or injections.

Plus, this marks our lab's first publication with @ImagingNeurosci - congrats to the new journal, and thank you to reviewers, for a smooth and successful (and ethically satisfying) operation 💪💪

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

Congrats to @ReddyNehaA on her first, first-author paper! Head motion is *awful* for fMRI. It's particularly tricky in motor task fMRI, and even more problematic in the patients with motor impairments we want to study. Here, Neha shows that multi-echo strategies really can help!

[Imaging Neuroscience @ImagingNeurosci]

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress by Neha A. Reddy, Molly G. Bright, et al:

Denoising task-correlated head motion from motor-task fMRI data with multi-echo ICA

@zacharyasmithmd Huge congratulations!!

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

@sNeuroble @ImagingNeurosci @mandyfmejia @fMRIstats @ShellaKeilholz @cately00 @ProfMRI It wasn't stealing - we had a well-reasoned explanation of why it was necessary to commandeer 😆

@LisaRVolpatti @NorthwesternU @NorthwesternBME @nu_chbe @NU_NURTURE Excited you're joining us!!

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

Thank you to the organizers, @AndrewZalesky and @yetianmed, for a fantastic session; I had a lot of fun preparing the talk on "the vascular brain" and brain-breathing interactions. Ping me if you want to talk more!

[Praghajieeth @praajhen]

🌟incredibly informative presentation! 🧠📚 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights. "Connecting the brain with the body in neuroimaging research"

@ilaria_ricchi When the data are this challenging, the scientists have to be extra clever and cooperative 💪💪 Great work!!

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

Today we heard a compelling #OHBM2023 keynote from @emilyjacobs emphasizing the need for better representation of women in the neuroimaging and neuroscience community. Join us tomorrow, to inaugurate the new SIG for women faculty at OHBM, and help build our community!

Hello @OHBM 🗺️🧠

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

We're officially back and (much) better than ever 🤩 #OHBM2023

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

We found a forest of common carotid arteries! #OHBM2023

Come be part of this strong initiative and relaunch! Sign up today to become a reviewer for Aperture Neuro here: https://t.co/XUyTAlIerI

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

Proud to be working with @fMRI_today, @mallarchkrvrty1, and this stellar editorial team on the reboot of Aperture Neuro. I have absorbed the refreshed energy of these colleagues, seen the new infrastructure, and I'm genuinely excited for where we are headed. See you in Montreal!

Come along and be persuaded to embrace the physiological ambiguity of fMRI! It's actually really great!

[OHBM @OHBM]

How can physiologic signals influence your fMRI data? Learn how to collect physiologic data, use physiologic data to study brain physiology and interactions of brain/physiological process and how to model and remove physiological signals from your data in this course.

Finally, Maurizio Corbetta (@MauCorbetta) from the University of Padua will speak on the Function of Spontaneous Brain Activity. (The university is the second oldest in Italy, and Galileo enjoyed teaching there for 18 years!)

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

The speaker lineup for the upcoming @ISMRM Brain Function workshop in Padua is 👏outstanding👏 check out the preliminary program here: https://t.co/syDl8JBblS There is still time to register to join us Sept 4–6! Here is a preview of the clinical fMRI session (🧵)

[Dr. Molly Bright @BrightMG]

Maxime Guye (@MaxGuye)from Aix-Marseille University will speak on fMRI in the epilepsy clinic. (And Padua will charm you with its canals!)
