Interested in the mechanisms shaping the extraordinary complexity of the connectome?

Then check out our new preprint, lead by
Francis Normand with a stellar team, showing how geometry constrains connectome architecture:

New paper from @annierhcheng.bsky.social

using data from IMAGEN and ABCD she identifies distinct signatures of impulsivity and negative affect in youth that uniquely overlap with a neuromarker of risky alcohol use

Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social.

Visual highlighting how sociodemographic identities influence brain, behavior, and brain-behavior relationships.
Figure caption: key goal of research in the brain sciences is to capture relationships between the brain and behavior. When studying these brain–behavior relationships, it is crucial to recognize that sociodemographic factors, such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, education, religion, spirituality, health, language, environment, age and socioeconomic status (among others), can independently and interdependently influence these reciprocal associations.
