Function & cytoarchitecture don't overlap ... they're orthogonal. Prefrontal cortex is plastered with chains of functional patches previously mostly known from face processing. Why multi-modal parcellations are wrong ... and other insights hidden by group-averaging of fMRI data. great explainer👇🏻

lol when you go to a journal site to decline/accept to review a manuscript and get the autoreply “we are very sorry but we already have enough reviewers” when it should be “REJOICE 🍻you have been saved the time to review another paper or make up a reason for why you have no interest in reviewing it”

This is also a fantastic time for NIH grant reviewers to be really careful with their critique language. Of course you want to use the Gold Standard concepts. And avoid the trigger words. Look, you can like the grant for whatever reasons you want and write approving critiques that pass muster.

First highlight... Senator Capito started of the discussion saying that the bill contains AN INCREASE for NIH. The details are not available, but the bill will be released ofter the hearing. This is not a done-deal, but it does show where the Senate is on a bipartisan basis.

Longitudinal and Concurrent Changes in Brain and Gut due to Morphine Self‐Administration
With this work, we present evidence of longitudinal changes in the brain and gut microbiome following morphine use. We used a within-subjects design to show that chronic administration of morphine al...

I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

Oh great… the same new PIs who were hit by a global pandemic just as they started are now trying to renew their grants and get tenure when the funding agencies are actively being destroyed. But sure.... that COVID tenure clock extension reeaaallly made a difference....

A tradition started in the other app and now continuing it her. I want to highlight Miss. Kylie Jones on submitting her MS work on DTI changes in a model pre-eclampsia for review. Fingers crossed for a smooth review process.

Hello Bluesky! Looking to connect with #neuroimaging #compneurosky #neuroskyence #neuroscience #psych peers. I will be sharing work on addiction and aging using MRI and behavior but also want to learn from the neuro community here on mental health and neurobiology.
