My first preprint is out!
We systematically reviewed the use of common spaces in the infant MRI literature over the last 20 years 🧠👶

Our latest work is online today @ScienceAdvances
➡️Brain connectivity in carriers of high risk mutations for #autism and #schizophrenia U-turns across adolescence (hyper -> hypo)
➡️This switch is driven by synaptic remodeling
science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
Full explainer below 👇
➡️What's the significance of brain dysconnectivity in developmental disorders?
➡️And what are its underpinnings?
To address these questions we mapped connectivity in carriers of high-risk mutations for autism and schizophrenia➡️tinyurl.com/ytuca74u
Here's what we found🧵

Exciting new work by @loopyluppi &⭐️coauthors showing that in 👨🦰🐵🐭 large-scale modelling of fMRI activity is largely improved by accounting for *competitive* interactions between areas (i.e. assuming that when one area is active, another quiets down)

Ever wondered if the *dynamic* organization of brain networks is conserved across mammals? We too!
Our latest work @NatureComm details what we found by comparing fMRI patterns in humans👨macaques 🐒 and mice🐁

As a last note, my lab still has PhD, PostDoc openings and we are also recruiting a lab technician (see below). So if you're at #SfN24 and want to discuss make sure to get in touch!

Talk #3 is by @StueferAlexia (Sun, 2:30 pm) who will address a long-standing chicken/egg question: is E/I imbalance a cause or a (compensatory) consequence of autism-like syndromes🐔🐣?
Spoiler: A brief postnatal increase in E/I balance permanently disrupts social behavior!

Talk #2 is by @e_deguz (Same session, 13:30 pm).
Elizabeth used synthetic (optogenetically-generated) brain oscillations to probe the brain rhythms that *causally* sustain fMRI connectivity
Spoiler: Regions of the default-mode network show resonance properties🧠!

After a long while, my lab is returning to #SfN24 with three talks 🎉
First up (SAT 1:15 pm) is rising ⭐️ @chiarapepe95 who will show how 🐁 connectivity networks can be mapped using functional ultrasound (fUSI - featuring 🌟 @mariani_jc)
Spoiler: Who needs fMRI anymore?!😅

Thrilled to present at #SfN2024 the exciting work I’ve been carrying out with @mariani_jc on #fUSI at @Gozzi_Ale’s lab! Interested in cutting-edge approaches to map brain networks in mice? Don’t miss my talk on Oct 5th at 'Functional Imaging and Data Analysis' NANO05.02 🧠🐭

Looking forward to taking part in @wireditalia Next Fest 2024 in #Rovereto Sept 29 at 12 PM with @mvlombardo🎤
We’ll discuss #autism research @IITalk & how the brain's "dark energy" can help us decipher the biology of these complex disorders.
Join us on Sunday to learn more!

Last week I rode in the incredible #Sellaronda in the #Dolomites! A perfect blend of sport and nature 🌍 Feeling so lucky to live & work near such paradise!
Want to experience life in beautiful #Trentino too?
We're hiring at all levels! ➡️fnimg.iit.it/

Yes ! Please join us 🙏. Too many questions and amazing data for too few hours in a day. The first snow covered the mountains two days ago. If you act quickly afterwork ski are at the corner ⛷️

What does the awake brain look like after morphine injection?... I can't stop watching this mesmerizing complex and stereotypic correlation structure... More in our preprint 👇

RABIES is officially out in @NatureComms, check it out doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5…! Many many thanks to @gadevenyi, @grandjeanlab and my supervisor @mallarchkrvrty1 for getting us there. It was well worth the patience and hard work!
Major updates on the RABIES preprint are out doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.20.5…! In this work by @gadevenyi, @grandjeanlab, @mallarchkrvrty1 and I, we introduce the RABIES pipeline (github.com/CoBrALab/RABIES), our effort in offering standardized tools for the rodent fMRI community.

First time our work is outside the lab walls! So excited 😍 @mariani_jc will wait for you at #FENS2024 PS05-28AM-474 on Friday 🐭🧠
I am delighted to present my work at #FENS2024 on @chiarapep95 wonderful dataset acquired with the @iconeus system in anesthetized mice at @Gozzi_Ale lab. If you are interested in #neuroimaging #fUS structure/function link or #braindynamics, poster is PS05-28AM-474 on Friday.
Thanks everyone for joining and great to hear about the amazing work of @g_modinos @mallarchkrvrty1 and Tomoko Sakai! ✨
