Finally live! Wondering how some intervention could shape brain function? Wonder no more! 🧠You can consult our computational model with ~100 perturbations (lesions, rewiring, disorders, pharmacology) mapped onto >6000 local and global functional readouts
biorxiv.org
Characterising how perturbations of brain architecture influence brain function is essential to understand the origins of brain dysfunction, and devise potential avenues of treatment. Here we...

Very proud to share my latest work with the netneurolab, now out in @ScienceAdvances! 🐒🧠 🧬 Translational neuroscience from macaque gene expression, within + across species.
Benchmarking macaque brain gene expression for horizontal and vertical translation | Led by @loopyluppi in @ScienceAdvances . How useful is macaque brain gene expression for asking questions about macaque protein abundance and human gene expression? ⤵️

For me, one of the highlights of 2024 was being awarded the USERN Prize in Formal Sciences 🏆by @Usern_net - so this is an opportunity to say *thank you* 🙏 to all those who made it possible: mentors and colleagues, but also family & friends over many years: this is for you!

My time in the UK has transformed my life in ways that I could not have imagined when I arrived, and I am so grateful that I have been made to feel at home here. International mobility has been a tremendous source of personal and professional growth.

I came to the UK as an undergraduate to pursue my love for both science and philosophy – a passion that was nurtured by my family and by incredibly dedicated high school teachers in Italy. So this award is also for them.

Perhaps you remember a little survey of NeuroAI trainees that we ran last year (many thanks if you took part!). The results of this wonderful collaboration are now out in this piece @NatureComms - open access and with many resources to start your own NeuroAI journey! 🧠🤖.
Last year @TonyZador et al called to train a new generation of AI researchers, equally at home in engineering/computer science & neuroscience to accelerate our understanding of the nature of intelligence, but how can we get this interdisciplinary training right? 🧵@NatureComms

2/ Over 98% of pipelines fail at least one criterion. Some pipelines even produce results that are not only misleading, but *systematically* so 🤯. We highlight a small but consistent set of optimal pipelines that meet every single criterion in every single dataset

1/ Excited about network neuroscience🧠but unsure how to turn your fMRI data into a connectome? 😵💫. Our systematic evaluation of fMRI pipelines for functional connectomics is just out @natcomms!. We compare 768 pipelines, across 5 criteria, in 3 datasets

6/ Overall, anaesthetised human brains lose their distinctiveness not only among individuals but also across species. These effects generalise across anaesthetics, and are reversed upon recovery ⏪⏪.
