News from ENIGMA-Epilepsy! 🧠

Our latest study links polygenic risk for TLE-HS to cortical thinning in kids—mirroring patterns in adult patients.

Early imaging-genetics insights could reveal interplay of epilepsy risk and phenotypes before symptoms emerge.

Is it a golden rule that reviewer comments only arrive when you least need them? Waited months… and of course they pop up exactly when everything else is on fire. At least they're nice and constructive 🫠

My brilliant labmate, Keith Dodd, created this non-aggressive denoising pipeline for fMRI data for his dissertation! It has been super useful on some of our high-motion datasets, and I highly suggest folks check it out for their own studies 🧠📈🪲:

I'd say a normal amygdala is the greatest threat in free climbing. Just doesn't apply to Alex so of course he can say it's something like doubt

Thanks for sharing your slides! I was so excited to see this important symposium in the schedule - but couldn't go because I had to attend a Zoom meeting which was too important to be missed just because of a conference (how ironic!)

Great work! I assume English is the mother tongue of all participants? Super interesting to see those differences between BE and AE speakers. I reckon the difference must be massive between ESL speakers and native speakers. What are your thoughts?
