1/ My labor of love review about PET imaging and neuroendocrinology is out! A hearty thank you to editor @LiisaGalea, the reviewers and Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology for allowing me to find it a great home. https://t.co/Oo8vXGZ6CY (short🧵!)

Gee, this is a nice paper. #MetabolicConnectivity with full kinetic modelling by the Padua group @tommaso_volpi @Ale_Unipd et al. Excellent systematic exploration of across vs. within-subj connectivity with microparameters. https://t.co/4M1hafvu69 @ConnectivityPet

Overall, we showed that  #within- and #across-individual MC networks are quite different, and that #fMRI #FC is better matched by #within-individual MC @Ale_Unipd @silvestri_erica @vallini_giulia @DeFraMatt

Also, for the first time we estimated #across-individual PET connectivity from [18F]FDG kinetic parameters describing the tracer irreversible uptake, delivery and phosphorylation rates.

First, we estimated #within-individual PET connectivity from dynamic PET time series using a novel approach based on Euclidean distance.

So glad this work is finally out at @_JCBFM ! https://t.co/8RmW9pJKBY Here, we take a new look on #PET #connectivity, especially at individual level.

Ready for @BRAIN2023 opening ceremony! @vallini_giulia @tommaso_volpi @DeFraMatt @AlessioGiacome4

Also, I will be speaking on behalf of my former advisor @Ale_Unipd on my PhD work: "Investigating the complex relationship between glucose metabolism and the structural and functional properties of the human brain"

Will be presenting my first @YaleMed projects: - "Asymmetries of synaptic density, blood flow and glucose metabolism in temporal lobe epilepsy" - "Modeling the relationship between PET measures of synaptic density from [11C]UCB-J and [18F]SynVesT-1 tracers"

Happy to be back at @BRAIN2023 , this time in Brisbane, and meeting lots of interesting people!

👇Have you seen April's cover image of @TrendsCognSci? The cover features our paper "Brain connectomics: time for a molecular imaging perspective?" arguing for the need to integrate molecular imaging into the framework of brain connectivity #molecularconnectivity #MCWG 🧵1/6

Brain connectomics: time for a molecular imaging perspective? | https://t.co/9DPjXHbGOg The 1st paper of the Molecular Connectivity Working Group is out now in @TrendsCognSci! We discuss the use of molecular imaging to advance brain connectomics, in an integrative perspective

Exciting times in Houston! First human images have just been acquired from the neuroEXPLORER scanner! @UCDavisBME @UCDRadiology @YalePET @UnitedImagingHC @CherryLab12

A new PET #imaging tracer visualizes cholesterol metabolism in living brains of mice, non-human primates and people, offering a way to trace cholesterol breakdown in diseases like #Alzheimer’s and #Huntington’s. @ScienceTM https://t.co/TRQnBIm5aQ

Nationwide protests sparked by the death in custody of 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, are being lethally quashed by the Iranian authorities. Take action and call on the international community to set up an investigation mechanism.

Tomorrow, I will give a talk on the #IDIF extraction and calibration work we have done in Padova for [18F]FDG brain PET with @silvestri_erica @Ale_Unipd
