Regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood, according to research published in @NatureNeuro. go.nature.com/4enUvov

What if there was an antibiotic that doesn't disrupt the gut microbiome? There is now. A discovery published @Nature today nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @PaulHergie and colleagues @UofIllinois @justsaysinmice

Yay! Check out this paper led by @62442katieb looking at variance differences in neurodevelopmental change across sociodemographic categories in #ABCD! Spoiler: there are important differences!! – at Los Angeles, CA

A major review of randomized trials analyzing the role that exercise can play in combating depression: bmj.com/content/384/bmj-2023… Summary: Exercise combats depression, and more exercise combats it more. The effects can be (at least) as large as pills. Please, look after yourself.

The ENIGMA consortium is using #AI on brain scans to identify depression patients who may benefit the most from a promising new treatment using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). @USCLONI @enigmabrains keck.usc.edu/news/new-ai-dri…

Introducing... ⚡️DEEP NORMATIVE TRACTOMETRY!⚡️ Wendy Feng + Bramsh Chandio have created a generative #AI algorithm that spots anomalies in your brain's neural pathways. They distinguish microstructural versus shape anomalies using a Convolutional Variational Autoencoder that they trained on diverse diffusion MRI data (from India/US) to learn their joint high-dimensional distribution. New paper 👉🧠⚛️⚡️: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Back to work after a great week at #USAExposome2024! Presented our work on prenatal/childhood air pollution exposure, immune function, and white matter microstructure in adolescence (won 2nd!) and met amazing scientists pushing for solutions to environmental health disparities.

BRAIN GROWTH CHARTS, ages 0-6, compiled from infants+children in South Africa, Singapore, Germany, the Baby Connectome Project+more; Ann Alex, Rebecca Knickmeyer +ENIGMA-Origins show numerous factors affect brain growth, language, motor function in 2,108 children (3,607 MRIs at 5–2,250 postnatal days); children born pre-term or with low birth weight tend to show catch-up growth w/ age: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… Congrats to all! 🧠⚕️@DrDamienFair @anqi_qiu @LZollei @enigmabrains

Excited to share our new preprint describing new linkages in ABCD Release 5.0 detailing social and physical environments that may impact child/ adolescent neural development. We introduce a framework we're calling the "Adolescent Neural Urbanome." 🏢🌳🛣️ osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/ga…
