Out today! Final chapter of my @PennNGG dissertation is now online at @PNASNews: pnas.org/content/early/2019/…. Coupling between inter-regional structural and functional brain connectivity remodels during brain development to support cortical specialization and executive function.

#JNeurosci: @graham_baum et al used @HumanConnectome data to characterize rate & timing of myelin development. They found evidence for prolonged myelin development into the 30's, reflecting ongoing plasticity for learning & complex cognitive functioning

Out now in @SfNJournals! We use fresh data from the @HumanConnectome (HCP-D) to characterize microstructural brain development in adolescence. Link: jneurosci.org/content/early/…
New preprint with @flourn0 and @leahsom! We use T1w/T2w myelin mapping in the HCP-Development sample to chart variation in the timing of cortical myelination during adolescence.

Great opportunity! Excellent mentor and a prodigious team
We are recruiting a post-doctoral fellow in neuroinformatics, with a focus on development of software for reproducible image analysis. NOTE: we are prepared to offer above-market salary for qualified folks ($80-90,000 USD/year). Full post here; please RT: pennlinc.io/JoinUs

We at @ANDL_Harvard anticipate an open postdoctoral position starting in Summer 2022, contributing to a new NIH-funded project focused on identifying the interrelationships between pubertal development, brain development, and psychological functioning/well-being.

Happy to announce this work is now available online at
@ScienceAdvances!
Using pharma-fMRI and developmental fMRI, we show evidence for a hallmark feature of critical period development in adolescent association cortex. Check it out! doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abj87…
I am very excited to share our new preprint in which we test a central prediction from a critical period model of adolescent development: a developmental reduction of the excitation:inhibition (E:I) ratio in association cortex! doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.19.4… 1/

Functional latent clustering identified three data-driven groups of cortical areas showing similar rate and timing of T1w/T2w myelination. This spatial pattern of microstructural brain development closely parallels the S-A axis of cortical organization and information processing.

What is the next stumbling block for neuroscience in achieving reproducible brain-behavior relationships? A sobering look at how differences in processing pipelines and seemingly innocuous decisions can drive findings apart, as well as potential solutions

“Brain charts for the human lifespan”! The result of 200 people putting their 🧠🧠🧠together (120,000+ of them!) to generate growth curves from mid-gestation to 100 years. brainchart.io & biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @jakob_seidlitz @SimonWhite83 @edbullmore @Aaron_A_B

Swipes for science!! Help us QC data for the Healthy Brain Network Preprocessed Open Diffusion Derivatives project. Go to fibr.dev/#/ , read through the tutorial, and start swiping! You will be added as a co-author on the paper if you rate over 3,000 images!

As children grow, the variability of many phenotypes shift substantially. Might something similar be happening in the human brain, and what would that tell us about development and evolution? We explored these questions in a new paper out today @PNASNews pnas.org/content/118/14/e202…

New preprint examining cortical patterns of children’s brain networks with @ally_mackey and @DaniSBassett!
Lots of great work has examined functional communities (a.k.a. networks) in adults. We wondered--do children's brains show the same patterns?

Updated pre-print now on @biorxiv_neursci: "Longitudinal white matter development in children is associated with puberty, attentional difficulties, and mental health" (link: bit.ly/LongMicro). Thanks to helpful comments from reviewers, new figures and tables added! (1/2)
ALT Change in participant characteristics over the 16-month follow-up period
ALT Relationships between participant characteristics and fibre microstructure across all white matter tracts
ALT Longitudinal change in white matter fibre properties for regions with significant age-related increases over time
ALT Marginal effects plots for the main mixed-model results for sex, pubertal stage, and symptom severity

Beyond excited to share new PREPRINT I co-1st authored with @smarek0502 . Using #ABCDStudy data, we show that the effect sizes of brain-wide associations and sampling variability are a key element of replication failures in typical samples. 1/x biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our new work @SinaiBrain on top-down attentional circuit maturation. We found adolescent as a sensitive period of heightened local inputs onto top-down fronto-sensory projections essential for adult attention. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
