A brain injury was reported in a trial using ultrasound, framed as low-intensity TUS. Kim Butts Pauly and I reviewed the case and disagreed with how it's presented. Key acoustic data are missing.

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications!

I still get chills

Meet Mike
*30+ years severe depression
*first hospitalized @ 13y
*20 meds
*3 rounds of ECT
*2 near-fatal suicide attempts

Mike felt joy for the first time in decades after we turned on his new brain pacemaker or PACE

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

AI performance is known to scale with logarithm of sample size (Kaplan 2020), but in many domains, sample size can be # participants or # measurements...

We have argued that the brain’s Action Mode Network controls functions required for goal-directed behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now, in new work, we show that AMN contains distinct subnetworks for making decisions, implementing actions, and processing feedback. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Check out this stellar work from the one-and-only @valeriejsydnor.bsky.social w/ team at @pennlinc.bsky.social + (many!) friends -- providing new evidence that thalamo-cortical connectivity coordinates the hierarchical progression of cortical plasticity in development. Out in @natneuro.nature.com.

What is the best measure of functional connectivity (FC)?

It's shocking how little is known about the brainstem red nucleus. In our new paper “The human brainstem’s red nucleus was upgraded to support goal-directed action” out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show that current thinking on the red nucleus is in need of a serious upgrade. rdcu.be/ehbOy

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠

The ITRUSST Practical Guide on Transcranial Ultrasonic Stimulation (TUS) for neuromodulation is finally out, endorsed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN). This is quite the “opus magnum” with 23 beautiful educational figures.
