The effect of spherical projections on spin tests for brain maps | doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Spin tests are the de facto null model for map-to-map comparisons in brain imaging. Why don't they perfectly control false positives? @vincebaz.bsky.social explores ⤵️

🧠Brain network structure and local biology jointly shape ALS atrophy. Disease epicenters show transcriptomic enrichment for mitochondrial function, endothelial cells and pericytes. Individual variation in epicenters aligns with clinical symptoms.

Let us characterize a novel network of four frontal face patches (FFPs) arranged dorsoventrally in the human lateral prefrontal cortex! 🔢
