So thrilled to see our pre-print online. This was an incredible team effort and I am so proud to have been part of this amazing study, special thanks goes to @nickywhiffin.bsky.social and @gregfindlay.bsky.social for their mentorship. Go check-out Nicky's thread hereunder:
🚨I could not be more excited to share our new preprint on saturation genome editing of the small nuclear RNA (snRNA) RNU4-2:

Saturation genome editing of RNU4-2 reveals distinct dominant and recessive neurodevelopmental disorders
Recently, de novo variants in an 18 nucleotide region in the centre of RNU4-2 were shown to cause ReNU syndrome, a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that is predicted to affect tens of thous...

TL;DR: Brain morphometry at 64mT (= 0.064T) is very much feasible. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that the dataset -> ~ T1w & T2w scans x (4 resolutions x 2 Hyperfine Swoop 64 mT scanners + GE 3T scanner) x 23 adult participants = 390 scans -> is openly available: openneuro.org/datasets/ds0...

🚨 New Preprint 🚨
Targeting intracranial electrical stimulation (ES) to network regions defined within individuals causes network-level effects
By Cyr et al.
***
Q: Can we use individualized network maps from precision fMRI to modulate a targeted network via intracranial ES?
A: Yes!

Hi world - its been a hard year with #cancer meaning I missed out lots of fun things. It would mean a lot if you checked out my new album of tracks. Out on all platforms including #Soundcloud (free). Let me know which tracks you like and a special prize if you work out the two levels to the project
Hot Summer Nights the new album by the Natural Philosophers is out now.
If you would like to help:
Stream it a few times
Post reply mentioning a track you like by name.

For years we have tended to discount activation signals in the white matter as artifact. It's becoming clear now that this was a mistake - white matter shows stimulus-driven activation similar (though much smaller) to gray matter. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37824529/
