New paper!
We introduce an efficient set of statistical features for fMRI time series (calibrated on mouse manipulation experiments and tested on mouse and human data): catchaMouse16.
Paper: doi.org/10.52294/001c.140433
Code: github.com/DynamicsAndNeural…
Alam et al. develop a canonical time-series feature set for characterizing biologically informative dynamical patterns in fMRI: doi.org/10.52294/001c.140433

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. What if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development”bit.ly/wmaxes

How does blood perfusion map onto canonical features of brain structure and function? @Asa_Farahani investigates ⤵️

(14/17) RBC data is also accompanied by a website to help facilitate data access and maintenance (reprobrainchart.github.io/). If you need any help with RBC, find us on INCF NeuroStars using the RBC tag (neurostars.org/tag/rbc).

(13/17) But perhaps the most exciting part of RBC? It is SUPER easy to access. Since everything is 100% anonymized (T1s refaced!) there’s no DUA or forms. Just download it from AWS using Datalad via INDI. BIG thanks to @awscloud for supporting open science!!!

(12/17) Additionally, we found that higher overall psychopathology was associated with greater connectivity between the default mode and frontoparietal networks, suggesting a loss of normative developmental network segregation.

(11/17) The existing literature on associations between major dimensions of psychopathology and imaging features have been more varied. Our analysis of RBC data demonstrated that reduced SA and GMV (but not CT) were linked to higher overall psychopathology.
