New work by MD/PhD student Emma Strawderman shows that as brain tumors grow, they introduce functional changes in the contralesional hemisphere captured with resting state functional connectivity. Great job Emma!

Using machine learning, Strawderman et al. reveal that right-hemisphere functional connectivity patterns could reliably distinguish left-hemisphere glioma patients from controls, predict tumor presence in left parietal cortex, and detect isocitrate-dehydrogenase mutations. buff.ly/kiUiTwo

Super excited to share this paper! We show that lesions to parietal areas involved in skilled action disrupt processing of tools in the ventral stream. 1/8

Though it was a tough week with unfortunate news and events, it was also a great week supporting my students and their research!
