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 https://t.co/ewnOdc6kXy

Your brain is a collection of maps: detailed representations, scrawled across your brain’s surfaces, of the sights, sounds, and actions that hold the key to your survival. Although scientists began...

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! https://t.co/2kTbB4tslY

The cerebral cortex is organized into distinct but interconnected cortical areas, which can be defined by abrupt differences in patterns of resting state functional connectivity (FC) across the...

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!!! https://t.co/AFi7Quv3Ds

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? Share link here: https://t.co/iznwdrnv3E

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

A massive new study of over 400,000 college students finds that #Facebook exposure increased depression, especially among those who were most susceptible to mental illness, and reduced academic performance, by fostering unfavorable social comparisons. https://t.co/0GddnmTcAc

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

I think it's probably time to share this...I wrote a book. It's coming out in dec 2022 (in theory). It is intended to help cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and AI researchers find a common language for talking about computation and intelligence.

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). https://t.co/XH56AS0B8K

Stunningly well done study. Direct neuronal activity imaging with MRI. They nailed it. Practical limits but all manageable. Added feature of visualizing depolarization AND hyperpolarization too.

A noninvasive neuroimaging method allows direct mapping of neuronal action potentials in a living mouse brain with high resolution.
