Científicos de UNAM usan estimulación magnética transcraneal contra las adicciones
A través de una bobina que se coloca sobre el cuero cabelludo se generan campos magnéticos que incentivan regiones cerebrales.

Using a transdiagnostic framework, we found that brain network dynamics were able to discriminate individualized psychiatric symptom profiles with high accuracy 🧵1/9👇

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...

Awesome @afni-pt.bsky.social invited me to this and I think it's a great concept.
The result of a large (42 authors!) collaboration:
"Go Figure: Transparency in neuroscience images preserves context and clarifies interpretation"
arxiv.org/abs/2504.07824
TL;DR: The FMRI world can (and should) improve results interpretation and reproducibility *today*, via transparent thresholding.

This was led by former Bachelor student Débora Elizarrarás and postdoc César Carranza. Here we wanted to study structural brain changes in opiod self-administration. Specifically if there was a link between MRI volume and neuroinflamation.
