New preprint! Are early environments associated with the pace of cortical network development?
In my first postdoc preprint with the @wunder_lab, @BarchDbarch, @rogers_ce, and Chris Smyser, we addressed this question.

Session 4: Early Network Development is starting now! @MinghuiOuyang presents the developmental connectome, @UTooley links prenatal environment to cortical development, Gondova examines connectivity in preterm infants, and Ayzenberg covers newborn visual organization🧠#FITNG2024

@UTooley showed that the prenatal environment affects brain network development speed in the first 3 years. Early development pace is linked to risk factors and outcomes, with faster development in lower-SES children. #Neuroscience #BrainDevelopment #OHBM2024
I’ll be talking about my work on prenatal environment & the pace of brain development at @OHBM @OHBM_Trainees during the Tuesday symposium at 12 PM with chairs @StephForkel and @philkuhnke.
Since I'm not able to make it in-person, please connect with me here for Qs! #OHBM2024
ALT Title slide with OHBM logo, saying "Prenatal environment is associated with the pace of cortical network development over the first three years of life"

This work was done with the @wunder_lab at @WUSTLmed, with @BarchDbarch, @rogers_ce , and Chris Smyser, along with many wonderful collaborators who aren't on this platform (and @tara_smyser , @shimonyjs, @hashtagAshleyN, and @lisa_gorham who are).

Sharing our new study by @keylas3, @SilvaJ_C, Rafael Bayarri Olmos et al (with T. Horvath & @PutrinoLab) showing that a passive transfer of IgG from patients with #longCOVID into mice recapitulates ⬆️ pain and other symptoms 🧵 (1/)

Where things stand with Long Covid
By Jason Gale @jwgale in @washingtonpost
A great review of where we stand.
A lot of progress has been made in understanding Long Covid. We need to figure out how to treat it.

Thanks for the wonderful write up, @kara_mcgaughey!
🚨 #BrainsInBriefs article alert!
#NGG student @kara_mcgaughey writes about recent work from NGG alum @UTooley, who took one of the first looks at brain function during early and middle childhood to study brain connectivity and cognitive development!

First preprint out of @Stanford_PMHW! Mood disorders are a leading cause of disability, potentially due to co-occurring cognitive impairments. However, cognitive impairments vary dramatically from person-to-person, even if they share the same diagnosis. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Excited to present work from precision functional mapping of neonates @FIT_NGIn tomorrow, at poster 2-F-60.
Really cool data collected by @ChadMSylvester and Alyssa Labonte — come check it out! #FITNG2023
Also be sure to check out all our precision mapping of neonates, with posters from @_JuliaMoser at 2–F-56, @KoiralaSanju1 at 1-F-59, and Alyssa at 1-C-23!

Ever wondered, how much data you need to construct a reliable individual specific functional brain networks in a newborn infant? Come chat at poster 1-N-100 #Flux2023
So excited to read this! I always love to chew on what Bart and co. are thinking about 🤩
Very happy to announce our new work which proposes a critical period model for the progression of developmental plasticity along the sensorimotor-association axis during youth!
Out now in @TrendsNeuro! 🧵

NB: Now hiring postdocs interested in this work!
Our work highlights the importance of understanding timing and directionality of environmental associations with trajectories of cortical brain development, and emphasizes the first years of life as a target for policies supporting optimal child development. /16
A big thank you to all the wonderful collaborators on this project: A Latham, J Kenley, D Alexopoulos, @tara_smyser, B Warner, @shimonyjs, J Neil, & J Luby, and support of @WUSTLmed @MIRimaging, and thank you for reading!
Reach out with q's, comments, feedback, etc😊. /16
