Thanks @JosetAEtzel @dmoracze @arshitha94, R Reynolds, and D Glen. Now the real work has now begun!

Consider these montages of public EPIs. Can we really skip QC, and what should it contain?

[David Pagliaccio @DPagliaccio]

new paper! @molpsychiatry
Probing midbrain dopamine function in pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder via neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging

many thanks to @GuillermoHorga @KDFitzgerald_MD @drrachelmarsh @hannah_cbecker @emilybilekphd

[Auerbach Lab at Columbia @Auerbach_Lab_CU]

Our lab @ColumbiaPsych in #NewYorkCity is hiring 2 more research assistants to support NIMH funded projects focused on adolescent #Depression and #SuicidePrevention. Projects use real-time monitoring and neuroimaging (https://t.co/LqTHs7fq3x). Please RT!

[Alexander Huth @alex_ander]

In the latest paper from my lab, @jerryptang showed that we can decode language that a person is hearing (or even just thinking) from fMRI responses. https://t.co/GUCDtiaXlR

[Ye Ella Tian @yetianmed]

Mental illness is a brain disorder? Right?

We thought so.

Hang on though, our new study @JAMAPsych shows that poor body health is a more pronounced manifestation of mental illness than poor brain health.
