🚨 This work is out now in @PLOSCompBiol! 🚨🧠 This work was a huge labor of love and curiosity during grad school working with @TheColeLab and I'm so pleased to finally share the peer-reviewed study with our community! Enormous gratitude to coauthors @TheColeLab @RUBENSARO @taku_ito1 @BrianKeaneLab @RaviMill 🙏🤘 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

@carrisa_cocuzza @PLOSCompBiol @TheColeLab @RUBENSARO Kudos to the lead author, Carrisa Cocuzza, on this carefully done work!!! So happy to finally see it out.

@social_brains At Rutgers, there was a popular philosophy course on how to reason effectively about fraught political issues: Current Moral and Social Issues. Try emailing the legal philosopher there, Doug Husak.

Academics, I need your help in designing a new course (and please retweet so I get more fdbk). Many of our undergraduates seem unable or unwilling to discuss difficult topics. They seem to lack tools for understanding what counts as evidence and how to reason effectively in these real world contexts. It seems like they often mistake their feelings for reasons and evidence or simply don’t want to have to discuss or defend their views at all. As universities, countering this should be one of our primary missions so that we are producing a citizenry unafraid to engage on these topics and also willing to listen to and learn from those they disagree with. While it is often forgotten, this is the actual benefit of diverse perspectives. So I’m considering creating a course that not only teaches these skills but requires students to put them into practice, rather than just to learn them academically. Have any of you created a course like this or do you have a course like this at your university? If so, would you be able to share your syllabus?

@Sanjana78044408 @CvsUor Congratulations, Sanjana!

Thank you!! Another amazing day at @CvsUor

This biomarker replicated in two other data sets and it can be extracted in a single five-minute resting-state scan. I welcome any comments...

The effect size is large (d=1.0-1.2) and the test retest reliability is much better than most other brain-based markers (ICC=.62). We also rule out a whole list of potential confounds (stress, antipsychotics, anxiety, comorbidities, etc)...

There are tons of papers on functional dysconnectivity of psychosis, so why are we so excited about this one in Molecular Psychiatry? The reason is that we coalesce network-wise patterns to form a highly discriminating AND highly robust biomarker ...nature.com/articles/s4138…

Come on by folks #sfn2024 We're here to represent @FENSorg and our journal @EJNeuroscience at booth 1633.

Many visual studies of special populations ensure that compared groups have "normal or corrected-to-normal vision", but do not report if the groups are actually matched on acuity within the normal range. Here, we show why this practice is problematic and how it can be remedied...

@HolmesLab_BHI is thrilled to announce the long-awaited Transdiagnostic Connectome Project, TCP 🎉🚨🧠 Data on OpenNeuro (BIDS MRI, behavior) & preprinted on medRxiv! A true “team work makes the dream work” effort, huge thanks to co-1st authors @SidChop @ConnorLawhead, as well as…[1/10] openneuro.org/datasets/ds005… medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

These results also motivate a search for the underlying causes such as abnormal gyrification during prenatal development, unregulated synaptic pruning during adolescence, or NMDA receptor hypo-functioning during the illness itself.

...heterogeneous connectivity patterns and working memory task activations compared to ADHD and healthy control subjects.   These findings may help explain why it has been so challenging to use fMRI patterns to classify a person as having or not having psychosis…

Very excited to have this new paper out! Using HCP data, we found that early psychosis patients exhibited more heterogeneous functional connectivity patterns across the entire brain and within multiple large-scale networks as compared to controls….  sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
