3) @dianacperez.bsky.social is presenting TUESDAY AM at LPB028
Diana used precision datasets of younger and older adults to individual brain network maps
▶️ she shows that variability increases across the lifespan, suggesting new models for the development of individual differences

We focused on fMRI studies of 🧠 networks… but there’s so much more neat idiographic work being done in other neuroimaging & psychology domains! See @mattmattoni.bsky.social's recent review for more thoughts on uniting these perspectives

We wrap up by reflecting on this exciting – if complex! –world that precision 🧠 imaging has opened for cognitive neuroscience, where we are challenged to chart individual brains to discover what makes them unique and what they share in shaping our minds.

Do brain network differences explain behavior? Sometimes -- but we review evidence suggesting the answer is not that simple. Stochasticity 🎲, redundancy 🧑🧑 and degeneracy 🌀 are probably all important, in addition to simple one-to-one mappings.

Why do we have variability in brain networks in the first place?
We discuss cases of perinatal damage and early life experience to make sense of these findings, as well as possibilities for plasticity in brain networks in adults

This approach has uncovered key 🧠 network insights into, e.g.:
• distributed & parallel association networks
• prefrontal specialization
• motor map interruptions (from @gordonneuro.bsky.social 👇)
• subcortical–cortical links
• network evolution & development

In the face of these individual differences, how can we find common principles in 🧠 organization across people 👨👨👧?
We map out a strategy using a series of relative ‘zone’-based markers.

Cognitive neuroscience often averages 🧠 MRI (and other) data across people.
While helpful for broad insights, we argue this hides both 1️⃣ shared principles and 2️⃣ individual differences-- much like averaging fingerprints would lose both unique IDs and common features, like loops and whorls.
