Spatially convergent fMRI signatures of diabetes and male sex identify genetic vulnerabilities to accelerated brain aging https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.14.648801v1

New: Energy use shapes brain organization and development. We use gene expression maps from the @alleninstitute.bsky.social Human Brain Atlas to map the main energy metabolism pathways in the brain. Led by @moohebatpe.bsky.social @misicbata.bsky.social @goliashf.bsky.social and Justine Hansen 🧵

Ketones, a fuel that can be used by insulin-resistant neurons, can re-stabilize brain networks when taken from ages 40 to 60, suggesting a midlife “critical window” for early metabolic intervention to prevent neurodegenerative diseases. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New results! A model built like the brain but NOT trained on neural data. Yet, it replicated neural (and behavioral) data. And it made novel predictions that were confirmed in data! New learning principles emerge from biomimetic computational primitives
