Would very much value your feedback on this preprint @LMWilliams_PhD - should cortical shape / geometric eigenmodes be utilised in precision psychiatry? @DrMKorgaonkar

Could developing uniqueness of cortical 🧠 shape predict mental health outcomes? Our brain fingerprinting study (613 scans, 116 adolescents) found ⬇️cortical uniqueness is associated with ⬆️psychological distress &⬇️wellbeing, current & future. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ian_hickie - really keen to get your thoughts on this preprint... it empirically supports the pluripotential concept we discussed/examined in youth mental health clinics @BrainMind_Usyd, this time in a community sample... @frankiorfino @JacobJCrouse medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We utilised a high dimensional, longitudinal dataset from N=166 adolescents. We found that 6 polysymptomatic mental health ‘states’ emerge early & are pluripotential, with transitory trajectories. Please read the preprint, add any feedback you may have: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

My first of many papers on the use of systems thinking methods in mental health - this one is on help-seeking for self-harm in young people. Published in Adolescent Research Review: doi.org/10.1007/s40894… Big thanks to @usceduau for funding this project!

@JacobJCrouse @wellcometrust @nhmrc @ian_hickie @circadian247 @mirandarwolpert Great to see this in World Psychiatry, a nice paper @ian_hickie & @JacobJCrouse!

A sleep-circadian pathway to mood disorders is an attractive hypothesis needing data from prospective, mechanistic & interventional studies Grateful for support (@wellcometrust @nhmrc) to test key hypotheses @ian_hickie @circadian247 @mirandarwolpert onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wp…

@BelLiddell @Uni_Newcastle Congrats again @BelLiddell, I'm sure you'll be amazing in the new role there... hope I can visit soon!

Thrilled to be on my way to the @Uni_Newcastle to begin my new role as the Daphne Keats Chair in Cross-Cultural Psychology. Excited to meet new colleagues, to listen and learn, and about all the new possibilities ahead!

@JacobJCrouse @ndosenbach @gordonneuro @DosenbachLab @JacobJCrouse - I wonder: if we had have described this as the 'action-mode' network, our paper might have picked up some more citations! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@JacobJCrouse @ndosenbach @gordonneuro @DosenbachLab Many thanks @JacobJCrouse - this is great! A much better name for this network, I will read this work with much interest...

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves: the Action-mode Network (AMN). Find our arguments here: osf.io/preprints/psya… with the peerless Marc Raichle and the brilliant @gordonneuro. 🧵 ↓

Delighted to be interviewed by @7NewsSC today about our new LABS #research paper as part of their segment on back to school stress with fellow Thompson Institute YMH Postdoc Dr Michelle Kennedy @usceduau @ResearchUSC_AU @DanHermens #youth #mentalhealth

#Flux2023 Have you heard about our Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (LABS) on the ☀️ Sunshine Coast yet? Come & chat to me at my poster (#3-B-11) tomorrow! I’m presenting some pilot data for an upcoming 🧠 geometry paper. Would love your 💭 @FluxSociety @DanHermens @usceduau

@BrainMind_Usyd @JacobJCrouse @SydneyLHD Congrats Jake!
