⚠️ Preprint alert ⚠️ How does the brain's fixed anatomy support flexible function? We explore this using recurrent neural networks with increasing levels of brain-like constraints, comparing them to empirical fMRI activity. (1/8) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Geometric constraints and cognitive inputs jointly shape emergent brain dynamics and topology
How the brain's physical geometry gives rise to its flexible functional repertoire remains a central question in neuroscience. Here, we trained three classes of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) on a w...

Hemispheric specialization is core to brain organization, but its biological basis has been unclear. New @holmeslab-bhi.bsky.social paper links neurochemical & cellular asymmetries to left-lateralized language & right-lateralized attention networks, with implications for evolution & psych illness.

Do humans show sex differences in brain activation? If so, are these task-specific or general — and do they relate to sex differences in brain anatomy and behavior? We dove deep into these questions in a new paper just out in Nature Communications | tinyurl.com/3rdrb524

@ohbmofficial.bsky.social, is the new OHBM abstract length really 14,000 characters? This would mean a shift from an abstract to a conference paper. If so, what are the implications for publication rights with respect to journal submissions? How are reviewers expected to review up to 40?
