Our new paper shows site-specific #GABA and #fMRI connectivity changes with low-intensity #focusedultrasound #neuromodulation with @EFouragnan @tristanadamwhi1 @ellymmartin @LennartVerhagen @cjstagg @BrainBric @PlymUni @SpringerNature @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

Does ultrasound impact the human brain? Our latest study shows that it can, up to one hour after sonication, providing evidence of early phase neuroplasticity. 🧠 nature.com/articles/s4146… with @sitiny0, T White, @ellymmartin, @cjstagg, @LennartVerhagen, S Hall, @PlymUni

Curious about TUS-mediated early phase neuroplasticity 🧠? Our short review covers all papers in primates showing TUS effects outlasting the sonication period, and a discussion on its potential for therapeutic applications psyarxiv.com/grakn/ with @sitiny0 , and @NadegeBault

Looking for participants for a brain stimulation study! - 4 sessions at @BrainBric - We pay for your time and for travel costs to BRIC - Over 21 years & no current diagnosis of neurological or psychiatric conditions See here & get in touch for more info: elsa-fouragnan.com/get-involved

@colm_j_m @brainstimj Yeah it was inspired by our MR AC work

Siti N. Yaakub et al. develop an algorithm to generate pseudo computerized tomography from magnetic resonance imaging, for better planning of low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Are you curious about how offline TUS changes GABA levels and functional connectivity in the human brain? Check out our new print with the wonderful @sitiny0 and @cjstagg biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ChrizKlink @andpru @VincentCostaPhd @RussBEneuro @MichaelOrtizRi1 Fantastic! Thanks! Very helpful to have the prepared data. I can be reached at siti dot yaakub at Plymouth . ac . uk

@sitiny0 @andpru @VincentCostaPhd @RussBEneuro @MichaelOrtizRi1 That's also a nice idea. Probably faster since you're all set up for it. I can collect and prep a set of mr-ct volume sets for you. Let's move this to email for the details.

Need a skull estimate for your transcranial acoustic simulations? Try out our MR to pCT toolbox: github.com/sitiny/mr-to-p…. It uses deep learning to transform your anatomical MRI scan into a CT scan.

@andpru @VincentCostaPhd @RussBEneuro @ChrizKlink @MichaelOrtizRi1 I’ve not worked with monkey data before, but I could try to retrain the network with your datasets?

@VincentCostaPhd @RussBEneuro @ChrizKlink @MichaelOrtizRi1 @sitiny0 I have several as well, microCT + 7T, let me know.

@ChrizKlink @MichaelOrtizRi1 @RussBEneuro I could give it a go quickly if you’re interested in sharing the data since I have the scripts up and running. Really interested in seeing this work on other data.

@MichaelOrtizRi1 @RussBEneuro @sitiny0 We also have access to a CT in Amsterdam so I have a couple MRI-CT pairs. Was thinking to try and use those for transfer learning. Will update here when I get around to it.

@ChrizKlink Cool! I’d be interested to hear how it goes.

@sitiny0 Nice! Out of curiosity, I gave it a monkey T1 as input. It works somewhat but not that great, maybe I'll try to do some transfer learning if I have a bit more time on my hands to see how that pans out.

Interested in taking part in a research study on ultrasound brain stimulation? The study involves 3 sessions of ultrasound stimulation followed by an MRI scan at BRIC @BrainBric @PlymUni. For more information and to get in touch, see: elsa-fouragnan.com/get-involved

@bluntphil as probably the only Singaporean Wycombe Wanderers supporter, Ng is pronounced sort of like “hung” with a silent h.

Our paper on brain atlases and segmentation is #61 of the top 100 downloaded neuroscience papers for Scientific Reports in 2020 (out of >1750 articles). Ten of the downloads might have been me, but who’s counting :D You too can download it here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

McGinnity et al. found that individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy, but normal structural imaging had reduced memory performance and bilaterally higher temporal lobe α5, but lower α1/2/3 in the ipsilateral hippocampus. bit.ly/3rQchbI @Hammers_Alexand @colm_j_m

Are you working with #brain #FDG #PETCT and require data from healthy controls? The #CERMEP database is now available for research, see Inés Mérida's recent #bioRxiv paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Some highlights: /2

@Hammers_Alexand @palneurolab @soundray @BrainImagingUoL @Neurospindle @colm_j_m am I doing this twitter thing right? Go click on this magnificent paper anyway :)
