Had a great time chatting with CASNL alum @sudkrc.bsky.social and sharing our recent work on arousal!

Her editing/producing skills are next-level - she somehow wrangled my scattered brain into something that actually sounds coherent...

A true miracle worker 😅
NEW EPISODE OUT🧠!! In this episode, Su
@sudkrc.bsky.social chats with Dr. YC Leong @ycleong.bsky.social
of The University of Chicago on how dynamic brain connectivity predicts emotional arousal while watching Sherlock🕵️🧐

Out now in @nathumbehav.nature.com! We applied graph theoretic analyses to fMRI data of participants watching movies/listening to stories. Integration across large-scale functional networks mediates arousal-dependent enhancement of narrative memories. Open access link: rdcu.be/eKKAw

New preprint! 🧠

Our mind wanders at rest. By periodically probing ongoing thoughts during resting-state fMRI, we show these thoughts are reflected in brain network dynamics and contribute to pervasive links between functional brain architecture and everyday behavior (1/10).

Ongoing thoughts at rest reflect functional brain organization and behavior
Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC)-brain connectivity observed when people rest with no external tasks-predicts individual differences in behavior. Yet, rest is not idle; it involves streams...

Feeling fortunate that #SANS2025 was in Chicago, and so much of the lab was able to be part of the meeting! It's crazy how much the lab has grown over the past 3y10m, and I'm so proud of the work we are doing together! Happy that we could host the lab, alums (and surprise guests)!
