✨New preprint from me, Drs. Anna Kirkland, and Lindsay Squeglia at MUSC & Dr. @louisemewton.bsky.social at @sydney.edu.au✨ We used 3T MRS to examine age- and alcohol-related associations with metabolites in dorsal anterior cingulate cortex in 84 17-22 year olds that were recruited for alcohol use.

You can code how FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) the datasets are. This is an example but I'm sure there are plenty of others ardc.edu.au/resource/fai...
