New preprint alert 🧠 Ever wondered how the cortex and hippocampus communicate during health and what changes during disease? With @DrBreaky and an amazing team, we built the first geometry-aware model of cortico-hippocampal interactions to answer this. [ https://t.co/oyC1HZKqvQ]

Functional interactions between cortex and hippocampus play a central role in cognition and are disrupted in major neurological disorders, but the mechanisms underlying coordinated cortico-hippocam...

Here, we tried a different approach, informed by neural field theory (NFT). We have previously provided evidence to support a key prediction of NFT; namely, that cortical geometry constrains function: https://t.co/I6g05iM1W8

First post! In my latest preprint, we explore how psychological trauma, sex, and developmental timing of exposure interact to shape long-term trends in adult psychopathology. https://t.co/6zswlGAH5n Key findings 🧵:

Check out our preprint on the cross-site reliability of structural alterations in across psychiatric disorders, led by @TrangCao2016 !
1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by @TrangCao2016 in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @NSB_Lab
