Talking about spooky stuff…try to do awake mouse fMRI.
Oh, you want it spookier? Try to add simultaneous Ca2+ imaging.
Now, do it all again, longitudinally….
So proud to finally have this out!!!

Longitudinal, simultaneous wide-field fluorescent Ca2+ imaging and fMRI in awake mice
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be applied in mice and humans making it a key technology in translational neuroimaging research. Yet, most neuroimaging studies in rodents use anesthes...

This project finally wrapping up 👇!!! 40+ mice, 5 different cell types of calcium recordings, 1006 EPIs…. All done simultaneously, of course ;) What a journey this was!! As usual… 🐭 🧲 🧠
Really proud to share this w/ @francimandi.bsky.social from the Lake lab: we applied fingerprinting in a simultaneous wide-field fluorescence Ca2+ imaging and BOLD-fMRI dataset in mice!

Multimodal identification of the mouse brain using simultaneous Ca2+ imaging and fMRI - Communications Biology
Using simultaneously acquired wide-field fluorescence calcium imaging and BOLD-fMRI, subject-specific signatures are observable in the mouse connectome, with stronger individual specific patterns evident in the calcium data.

Recently had the last piece of work from my PhD published, only took 2.5 years or so. Check it out here! Thanks to @coreyhorien.bsky.social @francimandi.bsky.social @toddc.bsky.social
Identifying dynamic reproducible brain states using a predictive modelling approach
Abstract. Conceptually, brain states reflect some combination of the internal mental processes of a person, and the influence of their external environment. Importantly, for neuroimaging, brain states...
