I have re-released my most used script to facilitate widespread use. antsRegistration_affine_SyN.sh is a replacement for the basic script provided with ANTs. It provides a more sensible set of defaults, and more expansive options. https://t.co/SEvpPCusAo

Had a great time talking to the LBD PIA team! I’m around #AAIC2025 with a couple of posters on our multiscale approaches to studying copathologies — come say hi and let's chat!
Caught @zklsmr sharing their impressive work bringing pathology, clinic, and cognition together in Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases 🤩 we got such awesome early career researchers pushing the #LewyBodyDementia field forward, just saying 💁💁♀️💁♂️

Thank you Dr Pablo-Fernandez for inviting me to discuss in the @movedisorder posdcast about our newly published findings in @MDCP_Journal! It was a great experience! 🎙️🙌
There is an important role for cost-effective clinical biomarkers in the diagnosis of PD. Dr. Cecilia Tremblay discusses how accurate hyposmia and RBD can predict Lewy pathology using data from the Arizona Study on Aging and Neurodegeneration. https://t.co/LS3MpzD3t8

Delighted to see this work, led by Matt Danyluik, out in @ImagingNeurosci Excellent technical piece on the caveats of methods for performing inference using PLS. A great piece of work for those using the technique and those who are interested in its robustness and reliability
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Matthew Danyluik, M. Mallar Chakravarty, et al: Evaluating permutation-based inference for partial least squares analysis of neuroimaging data https://t.co/XS3KFVd2nx

Oh. My. God. Nature, whose business model, editorial practices and scientific “taste” are all basically giant fuck you’s to the global South, unironically publishing this is really something else.
Stop using ‘summer’, ‘winter’ and the rest when inviting researchers to events — it’s a small step, but it’s necessary and inclusive

Ramanan et al. examine the evolution of clinical phenotypes in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or FTLD, and show that behavioural and cognitive profiles of individuals with the same initial diagnosis can converge or diverge over time. https://t.co/RGUvl2wrAL
