Do humans show sex differences in brain activation? If so, are these task-specific or general — and do they relate to sex differences in brain anatomy and behavior? We dove deep into these questions in a new paper just out in Nature Communications | tinyurl.com/3rdrb524

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by @twktan.bsky.social @mandymejia.bsky.social, we find that we may be censoring too much! doi.org/10.64898/202... arxiv.org/html/2603.07... Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!

Organization of neuropeptide systems in the human brain | doi.org/10.1038/s415... Neuropeptides are functionally diverse signaling molecules in the brain and body. @cebric.bsky.social curates an atlas of neuropeptide receptors and relates it to brain function @natneuro.nature.com 🧩 🧠 ⤵️

📢 New preprint from the lab🧠 ▶️doi.org/10.64898/2026.03.12.710517 What does fMRI connectivity actually reflect at the neural level? The natural intuition is: more neural activity = more connectivity! Using cortical perturbations we show this is not necessarily the case: sometimes less is more! 👇🧵

Our work on gene therapy for creatine transporter deficiency is now online in #Brain ➡️https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awaf275 In this study we (i) characterize network-level and behavioral alterations in a common form of monogenic #autism and (ii) test whether gene therapy can rescue these deficits 🧵

The program is coming together well for the Brain Connectivity Workshop www.bcw2026.org/program. This will be our 25th year! Consider coming just before the #OHBM annual meeting. #Neuroscience

fMRI connectivity is dominated by recurring high-amplitude BOLD events (CAPs, QPPs) But what originates these events? Many think neuromodulation is the culprit. Our new work offers a simpler take: cortico-cortical dynamics alone can generate CAP-like events! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013995 🧵1/n
