🚨 New paper out!

Presurgical brain dynamics (resting-state fMRI) predict short-term cognitive deficits after glioma surgery. Most recover by 3 months — deficits are transient and manageable. 🧠

Huge thanks to my PhD mentor Jorge Jovicich!

Huge congrats to @bcassone.bsky.social for leading this collaborative effort so brilliantly! 🎉 Fascinating to find out how functional connectivity fingerprint holds strong across TRs - great insights on optimizing fMRI acquisition. 🧠 Thrilled to see this out in HBM! ✨
🚀 Your brain’s unique functional connectivity fingerprint? TR can’t hide it! 🚀

Excited to share that our study is now published in HBM! 🧠✨ dx.doi.org/10.1002/hbm....
