Great work, led by Chuck Lynch @cjl2007.bsky.social , introducing a new fMRI quality metric that helps to evaluate whether your data is suitable for Precision Functional Mapping (PFM). More detailed information and link to preprint in Chuck's fantastic thread 👇

Preprint📄| TMS targeting in depression 🧠⚡️ We introduce the F5-AF7 method: a standardized, scalp-based TMS coil placement that more selectively targets the frontoparietal network (FPN) – a network strongly (even causally!) implicated in depression. ➡️ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

fMRI network measures are affected by sampling error 🎲, physiological artifacts 💗, arousal 👀, and task state 🎞️. We argue that a major challenge in studies of 🧠 network dynamics is distinguishing between these sources of variability. A 🧵 …
