Introducing...the PMADS Study!! Check out our preprint and below thread describing our multimodal study protocol integrating MRIs at 3T and 7T, biofluid collection, and clinical and cognitive assessments to characterize risk for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Congrats @noemirubau.bsky.social!

Imagine we could characterize neurobiological vulnerability to perinatal mood disorders (PMADs)…even before conception🤯? At the TReNDS Lab, we’re building a multimodal dataset following individuals at elevated risk for PMADs from preconception through postpartum.🧠🤰Check out our preprint! 🧵👇

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development?

Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers? With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
