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 https://t.co/xoOAJqWuWg Full explainer below 👇
science.org
Synaptic dysfunction underlies brain connectivity alterations in 22q11DS, a syndrome linked to neuropsychiatric disorders.
➡️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➡️ https://t.co/a3u2ZE4lV4 Here's what we found🧵 1/n

Do developmental variations in functional connectivity really mean what we think? Byeon, @TingsterX, et al. suggest they may actually reflect shifts in how brain activity spreads. Intriguing implications for measuring and understanding brain development!
biorxiv.org
The brain undergoes profound structural and functional transformations from childhood to adolescence. Convergent evidence suggests that neurodevelopment proceeds in a hierarchical manner, character...

Remember back in 2022, when we didn't need to worry about a 2nd Trump Presidency, but were concerned about how many participants it would take to map links between personality & brain activity? (cf work by @smarek0502 & @ndosenbach) We have good news 👇 https://t.co/ebwjrvYwJV

Can lifespan brain charts from rhesus macaques inform our understanding of neurodevelopment across species? A new preprint by @TingsterX et al. presents detailed MRI-based normative trajectories for brain structure, based on 1,522 scans. Check it out here:
biorxiv.org
Recent efforts to chart human brain growth across the lifespan using large-scale MRI data have provided reference standards for human brain development. However, similar models for nonhuman primate...
