Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Massive update to the braincharts!! Led by Lena Dorfschmidt, @aarona-b.bsky.social and Jakob Seidlitz for the LBCC. New models, new phenotypes, more data, more insight, more, more more!! Another @upenn.edu @campsydept.bsky.social and now also KCL team-up! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Charting structural brain asymmetry across the human lifespan
Lateralization is a fundamental principle of structural brain organization. In vivo imaging of brain asymmetry is essential for deciphering lateralized brain functions and their disruption in neurodev...

New preprint out! We mapped brain vulnerability in Alzheimer’s using MIND networks + population modelling.
Put this together with a brilliant team @raibethlehem.bsky.social @sarahmorganuk.bsky.social and many more still making their way to Bluesky

Truly stunning and comprehensive set of analyses from Edward!
Pleased to share new work from our group, led by PhD student Edward He. Edward joined the group as a summer student interested in the genetics of resting state functional connectivity, measured using graph networks.

We ask if there is *any* shared genetics between autism and some selected structural MRI phenotypes.

Happy to share my last PhD work "Genetic, transcriptomic, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric underpinnings of cortical functional gradients". We used UKB, HCP, and QTAB to analyze the genetics of functional gradients. The results are so good, consistent, and inspiring! (1/3)
