@foxmdphd.bsky.social's legendary anticorrelation paper has now been cited over 10.000 times and this was reason for a dedicated PNAS cake. Congratulations again, Mike, for this unbelievable pioneering effort that opened up the then novel field of resting-state fMRI!

Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network?

In our new paper out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social, we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome.

A 🧵 below:
A generalized epilepsy network derived from brain abnormalities and deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications
Ji et al. identify an idiopathic generalised epilepsy network that links heterogeneously distributed brain abnormalities to a common brain network and deep brain stimulation sites which reduce general...

At the DC #standupforscience today.

The question was “Why are you here?” She came up with this on her own! (I helped her with the spelling)

So proud of her! #standupforscience2025

How can a brain disease increase creativity? We derive a brain circuit from creative tasks demonstrating they share reduced activity in the right frontal pole. Then we show that brain lesions & neurodegeneration that increase creativity are connected to this location

Mapping Neuroimaging Findings of Creativity and Brain Disease
This study using network mapping of meta-analytic data investigates whether creativity maps to a specific brain circuit and whether damage to that circuit aligns with creativity changes observed in pe...

Why do different studies of brain atrophy in schizophrenia identify different brain regions? New paper by @braincircuits.bsky.social
shows these regions are part of one common network.
