🧠⚡️ New results from our n=178 brain stim dataset using 7T MRS and fMRI! ⚡️🧠
1. Baseline glutamate levels predict the gains from stimulation.
2. Brain stimulation modifies learning-related changes in patterns of activity.

#OHBM2025 was a blast -- the perfect way to celebrate submitting my PhD thesis with y'all 🎉
It was an honor to represent the Aussie imaging community alongside a fab panel in the LOC Symposium, sharing my final thesis work on homotopic connectivity:

We’re Explore Science, stepping out of stealth with something we think is pretty cool: Embodied AI Scientists running human experiments and publishing their own paper. We're excited to share our work - check it out! explorescience.ai/blog/embod…
#AI #Science
So AI can design/run/analyse/write up a full psych experiment now... with actual data it collected itself, proper stats, prereg and everything. This is pretty insane.

We just published this great essay at @AsimovPress. I think it persuasively argues that biologists should think of mitochondria as actual, living organisms (and not just as the "powerhouse" of the cell.)
This is my favorite passage:

If you think the next big idea in your field will come from inside the field, you're probably wrong.

Are you working with in vivo optogenetics? Ever wondered what the impact of shining laser light within the brain in the absence of exogenous opsins has on neuronal activity? PLEASE SEE biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… & READ 🧵👇
work done @SWC_Neuro, thx Mateo Velez-Fort & Troy Margrie

My PhD is out in @NatureComms! We showed that social transmission of stress in male mice impairs memory retrieval through a mitoCB1 mechanism in olfactory bulb astrocytes. Special thanks to @MarsicanoLab and @stressynomics, and to all the people involved! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Excited to present some work from the lab at this years BrainBox conference
Joining us from @UniOfQueensland this September in London is Dr Hannah Filmer who will be giving a talk on neurochemical predictors of generalised learning induced by brain stimulation and training.

there is a revolution taking place in biology before our eyes
I spent the past month reading the papers & interviews of @drmichaellevin, and wrote a long-form essay explaining his work and why it's important

Check out the papers, and let me know what you think!
Finally, thanks to everyone involved in these massive projects 🙏🙏🙏🙏
