It was an overwhelming honor to receive the Karl Zilles Award in Integrative Neuroscience at OHBM 2026. I cannot wait to continue growing along with this beloved brain mapping community🌷🧠
NSB Lab
@nsb-lab.bsky.social
Neural Systems and Behaviour Lab, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia We investigate brains, networks, genes, models, cognition & disorders. Led by @alexfornito.bsky.social
#2177 Francis Normand bridges the gap between geometric eigenmodes and functional gradients in the cortex with perturbation theory And in #2766 Gabriella Chan uses a production and spreading model to investigate the genetic and connectomic constraints on gray matter volume changes in schizophrenia!
And #0403, where Marko Ruslim models individual-specific wave propagation of neural activity along the visual hierarchy ! Now the final Wednesday/Thursday posters: In #2128, Yinuo Shu describes how topologically complex connections support the diversity and flexibility of brain attractor dynamics!
Other Monday/Tuesday posters: #0425 by recent alumnus @dralexholmes.bsky.social, on cortical geometric constraints on hierarchical sensory integration #0676 where @m-gajwani.bsky.social investigates the self-similarity of human brain organization across scales using fractal mathematics ❄️
How reproducible are morphometric phenotypes in psychiatric conditions? Hint: for most disorders, reproducibility may require very large sample sizes. See poster #1729 (Wed/Thurs), led by @trangcao.bsky.social You can also checkout the preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Interested in thalamocortical connections and automatically reconstructing them? See poster #2176 (Wed/Thurs) on our bespoke thalamocortical tractography pipeline developed by @priscilatlevi.bsky.social and @arshiyasan.bsky.social, balancing personalization and biological plausibility!
Check Neuromodes, our new brain geometry package for simulating activity, understanding brain structure or organisation differences, null modelling and more! Led by @victor-barnes.bsky.social @izachpope.bsky.social @m-gajwani.bsky.social Poster #2027 (Wed/Thurs) github: github.com/NSBLab/neuro...

1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by Trang Cao in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @nsb-lab.bsky.social
Have you been using ABCD data? Are you measuring psychopathology with the CBCL? You will want to check out our latest preprint, led by @kanepav.bsky.social, which shows that the constructs measured by the tool fail to meet many basic validity tests. Peep the thread!
