Excited to share our new work, "Developmental deviations of association-network structural connectivity in youths with ADHD predict symptom and treatment outcomes", now out in Nat. Biomed. Eng. @natBME: nature.com/articles/s41551-0…! Congrats to @chocoxu0925 & Zhao.

🚀 Excited to share our new paper in Nature Mental Health! 🧠 Our Brain-Behavior AI framework identifies 3 transdiagnostic biotypes in youth with ADHD and anxiety. 🔎 Signatures emerge even before diagnosis, offering promise for early risk identification. #AI #MentalHealth

Excited that this paper, "Highly replicable multisite patterns of adolescent white matter maturation", has now been published in Neuron! It may be found at cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…. To freely access the paper for the next 50 days, please use this link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1nxdd…

Are there dynamics that can be generated stably in only one direction of time? Five years ago, my attempts to generate reversed Lorenz dynamics with a reservoir computer kept failing. Five years later, that question has led to a theorem. arxiv.org/abs/2610.02845

Our lab (shazhiqiang.wixsite.com/sha-…) has an open PhD position. We use neuroimaging (MRI) to study human brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Students who are interested in computational neuroscience and neuroimaging are welcome to contact me for more information.

Excited to share our new work now out in Nature Neuroscience!! We use a whole-brain framework to show that aging and Alzhiemer's disease affect the brain's functional organization along completely separate axes. Paper and thread below 👇

Why do neural networks become modular? Our paper is now out in Nature Machine Intelligence! @NaturePortfolio We show that multi-task learning promotes modularity under limited capacity and task demands help explain features of brain architecture in addition to the spatial constraints. Great thanks to all the co-authors. @WHYWYH007 @yifannnwu @DaniSBassett @marcelomattar rdcu.be/YJ12NBxvrHsa

3 years ago, we reported pronounced poor body health in mental illness. Is it just a side effect of treatment? Our new study @molpsychiatry shows that dysfunction in multiple body systems is already present in first-episode, drug-naïve patients. nature.com/articles/s41380-0… 1/6🧵

Final version of our @CellCellPress paper led by @_francisnormand modelling mouse, marmoset, macaque, chimp and human connectomes from geometric constraints alone is now out! @turnerinstitute @NSB_Lab

Excited to share our new work, "Developmental benchmarks of executive function reveal sensitive periods for adolescent mental health", now out in @NatMentHealth: nature.com/articles/s44220-0…! Congrats to @YangLi1_888, Lirou, Yinan & @chocoxu0925.

First study out! Using a new cooperative paradigm and multi-agent inverse RL, we show that mice spontaneously adopt leader/follower roles, and the prefrontal cortex encodes these role dynamics and an egocentric social value map of the partner’s position. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

check out this incredible new work by the amazing @MJaskir, integrating information across many different dMRI measures to look at brain organization across the lifespan + variation in epilepsy.

Thank-you @_TheTransmitter for covering our recent work led by @TrangCao2016 on the reproducibility of MRI phenotypes in psychiatry Story: thetransmitter.org/spectrum/… Article: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… @NSB_Lab @turnerinstitute

Functional connectivity in brain white matter provides information about individual differences in brain age, cognitive performance, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity symptoms that is not explained by gray matter connectivity alone. In PNAS: ow.ly/RaM250ZzVXl

Our new work, "White-matter functional connectivity uniquely predicts brain age, cognition, and psychopathology beyond gray-matter connectivity," is now out in PNAS @PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…! Congrats to @cngjng333533221, Shaoling & @xsmilebook.

📣 New preprint: Multiple Nested Distributed Language Networks in the Human Brain. 📣 Brain regions specialized for language have been extensively described. But are they organized into one network, or multiple? Our new preprint provides evidence for the latter: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Honored to be named the runner-up for the Science & PINS Prize for Neuromodulation, with my essay now published by @ScienceMagazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… The essay lays out how mapping the brain's functional circuits lets us move brain stim. from deep toward the brain surface.

This work is out at @NatureNeuro. Thanks to the amazing team @AFornito @NSB_Lab @jchrispang @m_gajwani @AshleaSegal @DrAlexHolmes J Wiley @SidChop @HelenJuanZhou CChen FJi BHarrison @cgdavey @constable_toby @JegTiego BHartshorn JKwee @BellgroveMark

Our latest out now in @NatureNeuro led by @TrangCao2016 looking at the reproducibility of MRI morphometry phenotypes in psychiatric disorders. We quantify the reproducibility of grey matter volume and cortical thickness differences in Schizophrenia, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Autism, and Alzheimer's Disease. AD findings are reproducible; results for the other disorders are not. Bootstrapping suggests increased sample sizes can help for schizophrenia, but very large (i.e, N>1k) samples may be needed for other disorders. Our findings are consistent with a low SNR disease phenotype. Peep the thread and link for more details!
