New paper alert! In this updated systematic review, we explored how air pollution associates with brain structure and function during development. We present major takeaways from this growing body of literature, and recommendations for future work!

important work from the @hertinglab !!
Let’s clear the air for our kids: @KECKSchool_USC finds that air pollution from fossil fuels could be affecting children’s learning and memory. 🧠 today.usc.edu/exposure-to-ce…

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
ALT This is figure 1, which shows that precision imaging reveals neuroanatomical changes throughout gestation.
Happy to share that our team’s systematic review of the impact of outdoor air pollution on the developing brain is now out in preprint!

Woohoo! Exciting day and big congratulations to @DevynCotter and team for the publication of this important work ! See thread for highlights
New pub out! Using partial least squares correlations (multivariate method; identifies latent dimensions), we explored sex-stratified links between prenatal & childhood air pollution, immune function, & brain connectivity in adolescents from the ABCD Study bit.ly/4b3nA6q

What if there was an antibiotic that doesn't disrupt the gut microbiome?
There is now.

New pre-print alert from me and @Marybel08 !
In this paper we discuss how, despite being used as "control/nuisance variables", there is still little discussion in neuro spaces on how it is that we operationalize/contextualize #RaceandEthnicity.

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).

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/…
ALT Deep Normative Tractometry is a new AI tool developed by Wendy Feng, Bramsh Chandio and their colleagues to detect abnormalities in your brain's neural pathways. Trained on diverse data from the Indian NIMHANS and other diverse cohorts, the mathematical embedding of shape and microstructure in healthy controls is achieved using a convolutional VAE, a deep learning tool that can detect extremely subtle deviations from the norm. Shape and microstructural anomalies are visualised here in red colors, on 3D models of the brain's major neural fiber bundles.

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.
