How do cortical perturbations affect fMRI connectivity? Not necessarily as one would expect! Our new work @NatureComms shows that cortical inactivation may unexpectedly INCREASE fMRI connectivity! rdcu.be/cHKie 🧵below explains how. Spoiler: δ oscillations are key! 1/n

🚀 We are hiring: a PhD position is available in my lab (gozzilab.it) at @iitalk, in #Rovereto, Italy. Project: large-scale brain network mapping in behaving mice using functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI). 📅 Deadline: March 31 🔗 tinyurl.com/4jtetxa9

Synaptome architecture shapes regional dynamics in the mouse brain | doi.org/10.1371/journa… How do diverse synapses relate to the spatial patterning of whole-brain dynamics? @JustineYHansen explores @PLOSBiology ⤵️

Can #fUSI do connectomics? 🤔 @chiarapepe95 @Gozzi_Ale & colleagues show that transcranial #fUSI can resolve canonical cortical & subcortical networks, and even reproduce hallmark fMRI dynamics like CAPs! 👏👏👏

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 Fantastic study of the functional organization of the mouse cortex with focused ultrasound, including dynamics doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

@PessoaBrain @chiarapepe95 Happy to! Plus all data and code are openly available if you want to give it a try yourself ! 😉 zenodo.org/records/184864…

@chiarapepe95 @Gozzi_Ale Next you should investigate full-blown dynamics with the switching linear dynamical systems I presented 😅

🐭🧠 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/10.64898/2026.… Go check it out — it’s time to expand your neuroimaging toolkit 🧠🚀

A huge thanks to my PI @Gozzi_Ale for his invaluable guidance, to @mariani_jc , who brilliantly co-led this work with me, and to all our incredible co-authors for this wonderful fUSI journey!🧠 🚀Keep on fUSI everyone!🐭

We found that: 1️⃣Transcranial fUSI reveals canonical brain-wide networks with high spatial concordance to fMRI 2️⃣fUSI network dynamics are shaped by recurring co-activation patterns within 3 dominant attractor states 3️⃣Networks are robustly embedded in the structural connectome

A new AI model—Open Scholar—built by @AllenInstitute and @UW can synthesize science information and research very accurately, better than many existing LLMs and as well as human experts; open-source @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

1️⃣ Pleased to announce our preprint where we introduce a high resolution model of large-scale cortical activity to study how regional heterogeneity shapes wave dynamics and whether these effects are conserved across species: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… @AFornito @jchrispang
