Huzzah for @stevenmeisler.com, whose preprint on our new fully-processed ABCD dMRI data resource is now out. The super-clear results from this monumental effort will undoubtably change the way we approach studies of white matter development going forward.
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a powerful tool to study white matter maturation. In our new preprint, we process and distribute a new resource of >24,000 ABCD dMRI scans using open source tools! We then evaluate how methods shape inferences about development.

David Kleinfeld’s Sprague Lecture at @PennMINS deeply thought-provoking. Volitional control of behavior highlights that touch isn’t passive—the brain actively samples the world. Essential thinking for somatosensory neuroscience. #ActiveSensing #Neuroscience #Touch

The MRI Neuroanatomy Post 🧠
Can you identify the gyri between the Sylvian fissure and hippocampal formation?
1. Superior temporal gyrus, STG
2. Middle temporal gyrus, MTG
3. Inferior temporal gyrus, ITG
4. Fusiform gyrus, FG
5. Parahippocampal gyrus, PHG
Note the intradural segment of the vertebral artery, V4 (red)
Semicircular canals of the vestibular apparatus are also seen (asterisk)
Trace these structures on the opposite side!

The MRI Neuroanatomy Post 🗞️
The parieto-occipital fissure (yellow) divides the occipital lobe from the parietal lobe and intersects the calcarine sulcus (pink) - resembling a tilted "Y".
The primary visual cortex lies along the calcarine sulcus.
Above the calcarine sulcus lies the cuneus (green) - the site of basic visual processing.
Below the calcarine sulcus lies the lingual gyrus (blue) - needed for face & landmark perception and recognition, and visual memory.

MRI Neuroanatomy 101 🧠
The red nuclei (red), mammillary bodies (pink), optic tracts (yellow), & cerebral peduncles (dark blue) are marked here.
Fibers of the cerebral peduncle are organized from anteromedial to posterolateral as:
- frontopontine (FP)
- corticobulbar (CB)
- corticospinal (CS)
- temporo-parieto-occipito-pontine (TPP)
Notice the ICA branching into the first segments of the anterior cerebral artery (A1) and middle cerebral artery (M1).
Try to trace these structures on the opposite side!

New findings identify the Wave regulatory complex as pivotal in DCC signaling and reveal a mechanism that explains how a genetic variant in the cytoplasmic tail of DCC may lead to congenital #MirrorMovements. @BashawLab @Fred_Charron @kchau91 @PennNGG scim.ag/8oT
