🚨 Excited to share the latest preprint form the lab ➡️https://tinyurl.com/32d3be9f
Here we tackle a long-standing chicken-or-egg 🐣🥚question in #autism and developmental neuroscience
➡️ Is excitation–inhibition (E:I) imbalance a "cause" or a "consequence" of #autism?
Check out what we found!

thrilled to share this project over a decade in the making out now in @pnas.org! We show that precocious GABA boosting in neonates by early sevoflurane/propofol anesthetic exposure accelerates visual cortical maturation in human infants

How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
