Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 7T TANA! It was inspiring to welcome 140+ participants from academia, clinical centers, industry to discuss the ultrahigh-field #MRI. Grateful to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for advancing the 7T community together. #7TMRI #Neuroimaging #UHF #MRSI

Excited that Imaging Neuroscience has gotten its impact factor. Note that the impact factor is artificially low for the first year of any journal (because of the way it is calculated), so we expect the impact factor to improve next year. See more statistics below
A note on first IF for new journals: IF is based on citations in year 3 of papers published in years 1 and 2. As papers from year 1 have longer to accrue citations, the smaller launch-year output reduces the first combined calculation. This effect disappears the following year.
Using fMRI data from 20 mouse models and large human cohorts, a recent study in @natneuro.nature.com identifies two dominant dysconnectivity patterns linked to distinct molecular signatures in #autism. See our summary and perspectives on the latest work from @gozziale.bsky.social lab: rdcu.be/fiSOL
Our preprint has grown up, and it is now out in @natneuro.nature.com Bottom line: variable patterns of brain connectivity in #autism can reflect distinct underlying biological mechanisms 🧠🐭 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Mouse fMRI datasets: tinyurl.com/44dwe6dz Detailed explainer below👇
Autism subtypes identified using cross-species functional connectivity analyses - Nature Neuroscience
Pagani et al. used cross-species fMRI to reveal two autism subtypes, characterized by lower and higher brain connectivity and linked to synaptic and immune-related pathways, respectively.

Can we use brain scans to identify biologically distinct "autisms"? And If so, how? In our latest cross-species study 🐭👨 with @iitalk.bsky.social we dive into these questions! Find out more here 👇👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below 🧵 1/n
Very grateful to all members in the team who contributed to this work over the years. We hope multimodal approaches continue to open new opportunities for understanding how neurochemical dynamics relate to whole-brain fMRI activity. www.nature.com/nprot/volume...
#7T Translational Alliance of North America Meeting will be held on July 27, 2026. We invite abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations and welcome colleagues in #UHF #MRI and #clinical translation. 📣 Abstracts: unc7TTANA2026@gmail.com 📝 Registration: www.med.unc.edu/bric/2026-7t...
1/6 Excited to share our new Nature Protocols article led by Tatiana Shnitko: “Measurement of electrochemical brain activity with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry during fMRI”, a step-by-step guide for simultaneous FSCV + fMRI. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
At #OHBM2025 in Brisbane, Australia? Come join the MIND lab symposium on Thursday at 9 am in P2!! @shellakeilholz.bsky.social We’ve got a great line-up of talks from @shihyyi.bsky.social , Nan Li, Seong-Gi Kim and @edeguz.bsky.social working with @gozziale.bsky.social
Two years after a fun and inspiring retreat at our institute in #Rovereto, our position paper on the future of rodent functional neuroimaging is finally out 🐭🧠👇 📄https://tinyurl.com/42spkbft Here we outline key challenges & a roadmap to advance the field! Proud of this collaborative effort 🥳🎉
Come meet us during ISMRM! On Saturday (May 10) at the Bruker event and Monday (May 12) at 14:01 in the fMRI power pitch session, Harry Chao will talk about his work mapping inter-brain functional connectivity in socially interacting mice using SORDINO.
Another new paper from the Lab, with a multimodal fMRI / CBF / cFOS approach in an animal model of Parkinson's Disease! Congrats @ruxandalungu.bsky.social @ciscaff.bsky.social, Sara Monteiro and our great collaborator Tiago Monteiro! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

1/ Six years in the making! Our preprint on SORDINO fMRI is out. We're sharing the raw data and sequence to facilitate brain-wide mapping in awake, behaving rodents. If this could be useful to your colleagues and friends, please help spread the word! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
