Happy to share my last PhD work "Genetic, transcriptomic, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric underpinnings of cortical functional gradients". We used UKB, HCP, and QTAB to analyze the genetics of functional gradients. The results are so good, consistent, and inspiring! (1/3)

Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers?
With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

For all the thalamus lovers❤️🔥 : Excited to share that our Paper is out now✨Huge thanks to @sofievalk.bsky.social and all collaborators @meikehettwer.bsky.social, @wanb.bsky.social, @amnsbr.bsky.social, @jroyer.bsky.social, @borismontreal.bsky.social, @linaschaare.bsky.social, Seyma Bayrak
Low-dimensional axes derived from thalamocortical connectivity align with intrathalamic microstructure, functional connectivity, and structural covariance, shedding light on the multimodal organization of the human thalamus.

Multimodal thalamus by Alex John and team! We found two axes organizing nuclei and linked this to microstructure and core-matrix models. Thanks to reviewers and coauthors for help and support and ideas for the Thalnado project www.nature.com/articles/s42...

As of today, the main finding of my PhD is published in the European Journal for Neuroscience! 🥳🥳
Together with Gesine Müller, we looked at hemispheric asymmetries in the mouse auditory cortex. We find layer, sex, and hemispheric differences: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

Hemispheric Asymmetry of Intracortical Myelin Orientation in the Mouse Auditory Cortex
We find that the right and left auditory cortex in mice are both organised in cortical columns, with asymmetric myelination in the different layers and differences between the sexes. In addition, the...
