Very happy to have gotten to work with @deannajgreene.bsky.social and Steve Petersen on this article in Neuropsychopharmacology: "Considerations for conducting dev neuroimaging research on mental health topics". Hopefully trainees and clinicians will find it useful! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The APC at @imagingneurosci.bsky.social is now only $1400! Keep the great submissions coming 🧠 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social

Imaging Neuroscience @imagingneurosci.bsky.social · Sep 5

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.

We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.

Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Can we run a child version of the Midnight Scan Club? Not at midnight, of course, but turns out we can! We collected large amounts of resting-state fMRI data from individual kids, and show high reliability with increasing amounts of data and individual variability. Check it out!

More on the Action Mode Network!

Evan Gordon @gordonneuro.bsky.social · Jul 10

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...

For Tourette syndrome awareness month, think about your understanding of Tourette and tic disorders. Most people don't know much about these disorders even though they are quite prevalent. Learn more at tourette.org/about-touret... and tics.wustl.edu

Plastic changes occur, and revert again when the cast is removed … not just in cortex.

@samkrimmelneuro.bsky.social shows the utility of Precision Functional Mapping deep into the brainstem! The red nucleus turns out to be much more potentially interesting for cognitive neuroscience than anyone thought, including connectivity to the Somato-Cognitive Action Network.

Sam Krimmel @samkrimmelneuro.bsky.social · Apr 10

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

I think this hasn't gotten as much attention as it should. Please look at this Executive Order, read what it says about grants, and think about what this means for scientific grants.

It continues to get worse. We can’t breathe a sigh of relief because it isn’t MY grant. We all risk being on the chopping block. Not even to mention the severe detriment to science, society, etc. 😢
