🧠 It's #WorldBrainDay!

At our lab, we explore the brain using cutting-edge #MRI and #AI to understand what goes wrong in conditions like #Alzheimer's and #MultipleSclerosis

From healthy aging to neurodegeneration, we're working to keep the brain at its best 🧬
Big shoutout to Patricia Martínez Tazo for delivering an impressive final progress report on her PhD thesis yesterday at the #IN_ResearchProgram seminar hosted by @neuroalc.bsky.social. Exciting data, promising insights, and plenty more ahead! 👏👏 Proud to have such talent at our lab!

However, this time I managed! I would like to thank
@silviadesantis.bsky.social @desantislab.bsky.social for the incredible support, which I think was exactly the difference that allowed me to succeed this year. Now on to more science and research at the intersection between neuroscience and ML!

Incredibly happy that @maxeggl.bsky.social was awarded the prestigious Ramon y Cajal contract, the first step to establish himself as an independent scientist in Spain. Incredibly well deserved! We are so lucky to have you at the @neuroalc.bsky.social… except for your inexplicable dislike for coffee

🧠 World #MultipleSclerosisDay is coming up!

What if we told you that bigger isn’t always better at least when it comes to axons? In one of our studies, we found that early axonal swelling could be a red flag for brain damage in #MS

Curious? 🧐 Dive into the paper 👉 elifesciences.org/articles/79169
A translational MRI approach to validate acute axonal damage detection as an early event in multiple sclerosis
MRI is sensitive to the increase in axonal caliber due to pathology and was used to detect widespread increase in the average axonal caliber in multiple sclerosis brains with short disease duration on...

Our article "Menos tiempo, mejor diagnóstico: cuando la IA alivia las listas de espera en resonancia magnética" was published @es.theconversation.com! It deals with the problem of making MRIs 10x faster without losing accuracy? Let’s dive in! @desantislab.bsky.social @silviadesantis.bsky.social

⚠️ Sex matters. Many #MRI tools in mice rely only on males. The problem? Males and females aren’t the same. This introduces bias and skews results 🔍

Our #MouseX atlas includes both sexes and builds on the #AllenMouseBrainAtlas to improve consistency and reduce bias 🐭

🧠 Our new article in @Conversation_E!
We show how AI can reduce brain MRI scan time by 90% — without losing accuracy.
Faster, more accessible and privacy-respecting imaging with simulation-based inference.
