Ecstatic to see the RBC paper out!! MAJOR congrats to all-star first-author @goliashf. RBC has been an amazing collab between #pennlinc & @childmindinst, led with the inimitable @MilhamMichael. So many thx to the many many many collabs that made RBC happen.

So excited to see this fabulous work by stellar MD-PhD student @briana__macedo out as a preprint. Briana reports some of the strongest results I've ever seen -- very strong (25% variance, out-of-sample) associations between the childhood environment and white matter. 🧵
How much does the childhood environment shape the brain?
In our new preprint, we study the exposome (300+ environmental exposures) and link it to white matter structure in 8,000+ kids. 🧠✨

Huzzah for @stevenmeisler.com, whose preprint on our new fully-processed ABCD dMRI data resource is now out. The super-clear results from this monumental effort will undoubtably change the way we approach studies of white matter development going forward.
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a powerful tool to study white matter maturation. In our new preprint, we process and distribute a new resource of >24,000 ABCD dMRI scans using open source tools! We then evaluate how methods shape inferences about development.

Incredible work by the absolutely stellar Brooke Sevchick and @singletonion — the second installment of our open-science living meta-analysis of psychedelics for mental health; check out https://t.co/Fui5SuqW4y.
🍄 Our second installment of https://t.co/ICdlySqJJl, a living systematic review and meta-analysis on MDMA for PTSD is now live on medRxiv. Here's what we found and how we built upon our open science infrastructure to support it 🧵

Synaptome architecture shapes regional dynamics in the mouse brain | https://t.co/YKH3euIQpP
How do diverse synapses relate to the spatial patterning of whole-brain dynamics? @JustineYHansen explores @PLOSBiology ⤵️
Beyond delighted to see this awesome paper from superstar Audrey Luo now out. See her wonderful thread below re: two highly-replicable axes of white matter development in youth.
We think of white matter as highways of the brain. But when we followed development along those highways, we were surprised. The journey is more complex than we thought. My PhD paper, “Two Axes of White Matter Development”, is now out in @NatureComms!🧠

1️⃣ A few years ago we released an in vivo chemoarchitectural atlas of group-average receptor maps (https://t.co/zpjnCsVayw).
What is the inter-individual variability in receptor density, and how does it vary of brain regions?
Beyond excited seeing so many of you registered already. Help us spread the word wherever you are!

It’s time to rethink Parkinson’s disease. Our work reframes PD as a disorder of the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN), and shows that normalization of SCAN connectivity represents a shared mechanism across diverse effective therapies.

🚨 New science alert! Our cross-species study, now in Nature Neuroscience, demonstrates psychedelics distort how we should interpret functional brain imaging.

(1/10) How do brain networks and cognition co-evolve as children enter adolescence?
While valuable, cross-sectional studies offer only a single snapshot of brain–cognition relationships, missing the dynamic changes that longitudinal designs can reveal.
We hypothesize that cross-sectional and longitudinal estimates may diverge, echoing classical Simpson’s paradox.
As illustrated below:
To test this, we analyzed longitudinal fMRI and cognitive data at baseline and Year 2 in ~3,000 individuals (ages 8.9–13.5) from the ABCD Study, spanning the transition from childhood to adolescence.
