We're thrilled to announce our new publication! @ScientificData @vdcalhoun @tonyajhwhite We share open-access simulated neurodevelopmental datasets to advance brain–behavior research and support reproducible neuroscience. @NIMHgov @CenterTrends 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨Now hiring at #MSKBiostats: Faculty Position in Biostatistics. Join our team of 45 biostatisticians (19 faculty and 26 research staff) to pursue independent research and provide statistical collaboration with medical or basic science investigators. mskcc.org/departments/ep…

Excited to share our R package for microbiome data analysis, published @CellRepMethods, which makes log-ratio lasso regression more accessible for R users, supporting continuous, binary and survival (competing risks) outcomes. github.com/vdblab/FLORAL doi.org/10.1016/j.crme…

Tired of poor reliability of fMRI? Besides the massive collection from many people, here introduces another way -- intensive fMRI. cell.com/trends/neurosc…

In cancer screening, change over time is the most important signal. In a paper, Batuhan presented at MICCAI last week, we proposed a neural net model to exploit longitudinal mammograms to better quantify breast cancer risk. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

First organized JSM session ✅ Thanks to our fantastic speakers @benjamin_risk, Xinyi Li, John Koo, @Andrew_AChen and @JoshuaLukemire!! Thanks Dayu Sun for chairing!! Some great memories to cherish👏

Findings from this twin study suggest that PTSD may be a previously unrecognized independent risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea in older men. ja.ma/4bhtaSZ

The median age at diagnosis for #BrainCancer across all racial and ethnic groups is 60. However, the median age at diagnosis for Hispanics is much younger—51 years. Visit SEER*Explorer to view more cancer statistics: buff.ly/3k5fouk #BrainTumorThursday

🧠Neuroimaging peeps🧠 our field is blessed with beautiful visualizations. Our preprint provides 3 tools to help move toward code-based & replicable visualization: 📗practical guide (why should I?) 📦package selector (which one?) 🏗️code template generator (how do I start?) 👇🧵

I love it. Highly recommend.

Wow... 80% of genes are differentially expressed in living versus post-mortem prefrontal cortex tissue. Importantly implications for studying the 'living' biology of the human brain, rather than heavy reliance on what post-mortem tissue shows us. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Turns out the ancient Chinese knew a lot about modern neural networks

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.
