So excited to see this fabulous work by stellar MD-PhD student Briana Macedo now out as a preprint. Briana reports some of the strongest results I've ever seen -- very strong (25% variance, out-of-sample) associations between the childhood environment and white matter. Thread below!

How much does the childhood environment shape the brain? In our new preprint, we study the exposome (300+ environmental exposures) and link it to white matter structure in 8,000+ kids. 🧠✨ 🔗 Read the preprint: bit.ly/4wfsybZ 🧵 Thread below

Updated preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... We have improved DELSSOME and showed that we can accelerate the estimation of two new biophysical models. By collating 12,005 individuals, we derive normative trajectories of cortical E/I ratio across the lifespan ...

While the world burns, we cook up a new preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2025... Biophysical modeling is a key tool to derive mechanistic insights into the brain. These models are governed by biologically meaningful parameters (unlike artificial neural networks), but the dirty secret ... 1/N
