Superb work by the stellar @bsevchik.bsky.social — a new fully processed open data resource focused on exec fxn in psychosis and ADHD.
‼️Also‼️ Brooke is applying to PhD programs now— great time to recruit an absolute star ⭐️ + wonderful human.

🧠⚖️📉 How does the cortical excitation-inhibition ratio mature during adolescence?
We asked this in our new paper just out in #ScienceAdvances ✨
“Adolescent maturation of cortical excitation-inhibition ratio based on individualized biophysical network modeling”

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to share my latest work "Microstructural asymmetry in the human cortex" now out in NatComms. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This work used cytoarchitecture (BigBrain), T1w/T2w, qT1, and MT measures to bring the cortical asymmetry from macrostructure to microstructure.

Microstructural asymmetry in the human cortex - Nature Communications
The human cortex displays an anterior-to-posterior asymmetry, identified via both post-mortem and in vivo microstructural measurements. Microstructural asymmetry is heritable, varies across cortical l...
