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

Our goal is to use brain imaging and data about child development to inform pediatricians, families — everyone involved in kids’ lives — about how best to help children cope with sensory challenges and thrive in a loud, bright, chaotic world.” - Rebecca Schwarzlose (@gothemind) bit.ly/4wTQQs3

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!

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/neurosc…

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!

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?

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

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
