Mapping obesity-related traits with regional white matter microstructure highlights the importance of brainstem tracts and sex-related differences. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.24.25321078v1

The dissonance between wanting and liking has always fascinated me. I recently wrote about Nguyen et al.’s (2021) review on the neural underpinnings of atypical wanting and liking. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), the first bemother.eu/en/ paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Frøya wrote her first word today at home office. True story. Apparently she’s also into brain imaging 🧠🐈
