We are learning a whopping lot about the cerebellum and its role (or not) in psychosis. Papers are forthcoming! (Well, pre-prints. Actual publications taken longer.)

so we're playing around with different posterior cingulate seeds in the same dataset and learning a heck of a lot about how the Default Mode Network will "change" depending on exactly where you put your seed. Fascinating to see, but I don't know what to DO with it! 🫥

I think this one is still under review somewhere, but I wanted to highlight Kyle's work on it. Given reproducible ICA patterns from 100,000 resting state fMRI datasets, what do we call them all? That was a lot of work!
And it's a really good functional atlas, too.
