I am oh so happy to share that my K99/R00 "Linking Adolescent Environmental Enrichment to Association Cortex Plasticity and Psychiatric Resiliency" was awarded by the NIMH! And with that, I am on the job market! I can't wait to find the home of my future lab.

Excited to share our latest @natbiomedeng.nature.com paper!🥳How does structural connectivity (SC) in ADHD deviate from typical development? We show delayed maturation of association-network SC, with some deviations declining with age, tracking symptoms, and predicting treatment response.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by @twktan.bsky.social @mandymejia.bsky.social, we find that we may be censoring too much! doi.org/10.64898/202... arxiv.org/html/2603.07... Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!
