World, meet Brainscapes. She had a long gestation - conceived before my first actual child and delivered after my second. But here she is at long last, ready to tell the story of remarkable brain maps amazon.com/Brainscapes-Wa…

Thank you to @gothemind for contributing the fantastic review article "Infant sensory gating and a developmental cascade to autistic traits and anxiety" this year 🤩 #ACNP2026 nature.com/articles/s4138…

We’ve parcellated the neonatal cortical surface based on abrupt changes in functional connectivity, resulting in a set of 283 highly homogenous cortical surface parcels in a sample of n=261 neonates. Preprint now available! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What an honor to be the “future of neuroscience”. Had a great time chatting with @SfNtweets about my trajectory. It's already been a long journey so far, I can't wait to see where my curiosity takes me! The future is bright, diverse, global, and female!!! sfn.org/publications/n…

I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla

Dr. Rebecca Schwarzlose (@gothemind) and I are hiring a research assistant to help with @NICHD_NIH funded research! The research projects look at many different topics - bullying, peer relations, externalizing and internalizing symptoms, sensory responsivity, & neurodevelopment!

Very excited as I recently got a look at the front cover design of my upcoming book. Also received some wonderful endorsements including: "In The Connected Species, Dr. Mark Williams interweaves history, psychology, and human health to tell the fascinat…lnkd.in/gyZUMteC

I am very excited to say that it's launch day for "Psych"! Please spread the word, retweet, write a review, DM me good wishes, and, uhm, buy the book! (blurbs and amazon link here: paulbloom.net)

@AdamS Thank you! And that is a topic near and dear to my heart - sensory challenges are my main research focus these days.

@gothemind It was a great book. Was particularly fascinated by insights it gave into potential relationship between my daughter’s NICU experience and later sensory challenges. I admit I wasn’t the easiest advisee in my Medill days, but your Dad valiantly put up with me! A great man.

2020 was a sucky year on so many fronts, but it excelled in one area: the reading list. Very happy with my selections. Not a dud in the stacks. Some thoughtful, some fun. Good reading on many fronts.

@AdamS Thank you for including Brainscapes on this wonderful list - I’m so glad you liked it. How fantastic that you were my dad’s student. He was so proud of his advisees going out and impacting the world.

I expected more from “Heat 2” — but as an extended treatment for a sequel film, I’d totally still watch it. @gothemind’s brain study truly fascinating—and by the daughter of my college journalism adviser no less! (5/6)

Just in time for Christmas - give the gift of brain maps narrated by a neuroscientist who freaking loves your brain

@StokesNeuro Cancer takes most my family. It’s a cruel disease, but at least it give us the knowledge to leave on our own terms. We all leave this world, but we don’t all leave with a full heart. I’ve admired your work and your warmth for years. Your impact reaches further than you know ❤️

Hi folks, I’m afraid it’s time for me to say goodbye. Not just leaving Twitter, but the whole show. I’ve been battling cancer last 2 years, but now only have a few days left now. Thank you wonderful people, I leave this crazy world with much love in my heart ❤️

This is a top-4 challenge for brain research. Conversations with my co-author @theamygdaloid have made me realize why. Among the big topics, I suspect that it's the most underappreciated. Why does it matter? Share link here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1g7ZrbotpyLNK

both devin chandler and lavel davis were my students. devin was in my class in spring 2022, and lavel is in my class this semester. I am so indescribably sad right now but I wanted to share a few memories of them, because they were wonderful people

A massive new study of over 400,000 college students finds that #Facebook exposure increased depression, especially among those who were most susceptible to mental illness, and reduced academic performance, by fostering unfavorable social comparisons. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@WordsFromWick I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

What happens when parts of the🧠that eventually become a highly functionally specialized language system (left frontal and temporal areas) get damaged at birth or shortly thereafter? Where does the language system live in such brains? Long answer short: it's complicated! 1/n

What mental illness term do you prefer? And why? 1. Mental Illness 2. Psychopathology 3. Mental Health Condition 4. Mental Health Difficulty 5. Mental Disorder 6. Other? See thread below for pros/cons of mental illness terminology (IMO): 🧵
