Our paper on #distributionshift in human neuroscience now accepted at @PLOSBiology. Congrats to @oualid_benkarim for leading this quantitative analysis! #untracked #diversity #outofdistribution @enigmabrains @ABCD_ReproNim @BertrandThirion @phyzang

Excellent work on Autism spectrum disorder published in @CommsBio by @oualid_benkarim, recent HBHL Fellow alumn and former co-president/president of the HBHL Trainee Committee.

As this trainee committee's year comes to a close, we would like to take the opportunity to thank all the amazing speakers who presented on their work at our Get-Togethers this year. See thread below ⬇️ 1/6

Now out in @naturemethods | The ENIGMA Toolbox 🧰 An open-source python (🐍) and matlab (🌋) repository to access 100+ ENIGMA maps, visualize cortical and subcortical surface data, and relate neuroimaging findings to multiscale brain organization 🔗 go.nature.com/3ycxvn5

New preprint, led by @oualid_benkarim, examining out-of-distribution prediction in #ABIDE + #HBN: Analytical tools are needed to get a handle on #untracked #diversity in multi-site cohorts biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Many thanks to all the co-authors @CaseyPaquola, @BoyongPark1, @hong_seok_jun, @J_Royer_, @reindervosdwael, @saratheriver, @sofievalk, @danilobzdok, @BorisBernhardt and the non-tweeting co-authors

New preprint out on the relationship of idiosyncrasy and group-level connectivity alterations in autism biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Next is @CaseyPaquola from @TheNeuro_MNI ! Casey combines local and global features of cortical wiring, demonstrating how this cortical wiring scheme interfaces micro-scale cellular architecture with large-scale functional hierarchies. Awesome work!

@OHBMequinoX @rcruces @BrainImagingUoL @enigmabrains @chrisdwhelan @PTenigma @BorisBernhardt 1. Epilepsy is increasingly conceptualized as a network disorder. Here we will show how we identified network mechanisms underlying atrophy patterns in 1,021 epileptic patients relative to 1,564 healthy controls from 19 international sites. #OHBMx

Gradients workshop happening now at @TheNeuro_MNI with the amazing people of the MICA lab (@oualid_benkarim, @BorisBernhardt, @CaseyPaquola, @J_Royer_ and @reindervosdwael) giving an introduction to their great BrainSpace toolbox (brainspace.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)!

NOW: We’re hearing from Quebec #Autism Research Training Program trainee @oualid_benkarim, postdoc at #TheNeuro (supervisor @BorisBernhardt), who is studying autism using functional MRI. #TACC2020 #ACAR
