1/ 🚨 Just out in @natneuro.nature.com! 🧠 We profiled >6,000 features of brain dynamics across humans, macaques, marmosets, mice, fish and worms 🧑🐒🐒🐁🐟🪱 to find a shared neural endpoint of anaesthesia: spatiotemporal isolation of local activity 🧵👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41593-026-02460-4

Our preprint has grown up, and it is now out in @natneuro.nature.com Bottom line: variable patterns of brain connectivity in #autism can reflect distinct underlying biological mechanisms 🧠🐭 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Mouse fMRI datasets: tinyurl.com/44dwe6dz Detailed explainer below👇

Autism subtypes identified using cross-species functional connectivity analyses - Nature Neuroscience
Pagani et al. used cross-species fMRI to reveal two autism subtypes, characterized by lower and higher brain connectivity and linked to synaptic and immune-related pathways, respectively.

24/04/2026, PhD in Cognitive and Brain Sciences, cum laude 🎓 @cimecunitrento.bsky.social @iitalk.bsky.social What a wonderful journey life is. I am so grateful that I’m still out of words..I’ll let these pictures speak. And yes, my lab really did build me a cardboard Iconeus machine!!

📢 New preprint from the lab🧠 ▶️doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.12.710517 What does fMRI connectivity actually reflect at the neural level? The natural intuition is: more neural activity = more connectivity! Using cortical perturbations we show this is not necessarily the case: sometimes less is more! 👇🧵

🚨Do we need a large, expensive MRI scanner to map whole-brain networks in the mouse? Not necessarily! In our new preprint ▶️ tinyurl.com/3a2h4r9f we show that transcranial functional ultrasound (fUSI) can map connectome-scale networks with striking agreement to fMRI 🧵👇

🐭🧠 Can fUSI truly map canonical mouse resting-state networks — and how does it compare to fMRI? I’m excited to share the work of my PhD in our new preprint!👉 doi.org/10.64898/202... Go check it out — it’s time to expand your neuroimaging toolkit 🧠🚀
