I am looking for a postdoc to start this year or 2023. Candidate should have a PhD in neuroscience, machine learning or related fields. Topics are quite flexible (https://t.co/pgdR4erHUJ) and up for discussion. Appreciate RT.

How does the spatial layout (‘topography’) of large-scale functional brain networks relate to major dimensions of psychopathology in youth? We approached this question in our new work: https://t.co/gf6fIygMSp.

Final version of our review on imaging transcriptomics of brain disorders, led by @AurinaArn w/ @bendfulcher & M Bellgrove is now available!

Importance of characterizing individual brain connectome variability around our current models of the 'average brain'.

"...even though the worms were genetically identical, as much as 40% of the connections between nerve cells in their brains differed."

My thesis titled "Genetic and environmental influences on the brain functional networks in older adults" is now publicly available in UNSWorks at https://t.co/Ok6W2zgFqY.

Couldn't have done it without all the amazing support ❤

[Amy Kuceyeski | @[email protected] @amykooz]

Our paper is out today in Nat Comm! @zijin76’s first one ever and yet another product of a fruitful collaboration with @mertrory and Keith Jamison. https://t.co/Jy9Sovqrii

While network segregation and strength of limbic network were nominally associated with cognitive performance, the network measures collectively were significantly associated with cognition. individual measures may be inadequate to capture much of the variance in neural activity.

New preprint is out! Here, we examined the influence of age and sex on functional brain and cognition in the UK Biobank.

Sex differences were also observed, with women showing more efficient networks which were less segregated than in men. Age-related changes were also more apparent in men than women, which suggests that men may be more vulnerable to cognitive decline with age.

Actually caught myself the other day thinking "Oh this article is from 2010, that's not too long ago". And then I thought about what I said and I felt old.

[Joanes Grandjean wants you to share your data @grandjeanlab]

Great 🐭🧠↔️🧠🧑 project presented by @RMVrooman, new pHd student @DondersInst. A new way to compare animals and human 🧠 maps. Together with @Francimandi @foo_heidi @81yufu @NeuroecologyLab @ThomasAWBolton1 @neuropg

[Roël Vrooman @RMVrooman]

Very excited to present great collaborative work on cross-species network conservation and it's possible role in explaining psychopathology. Come check out poster nr. 1493 @OHBM, @grandjeanlab

[Linden Parkes @LindenParkes]

📢 our paper on network control theory predicting psychosis symptoms is out now in @BiologicalPsyc1! 👀🎉🕺 Perfect for your Friday afternoon reading list! 😎🍻 I'll be presenting this work at #OHBM2021 🤘. Please stop by! https://t.co/7l28fofJgW
