Sad to see our first commercial scanner heading off to MRI retirement home after 20 years sterling service. The new UHF scanner will take its place in 2026.

Excited to kick off the first Tract-Anat club virtual seminar series by presenting the history of tractography. Contact Francois Rheault (8$™) or Chiara Maffei for zoom link. Join us Thursday for may 23rd 9:00 CST 14:00 UTC and see if you can answer these questions:

One week left to register for the #FSLcourse2024…see you soon in Osaka 🇯🇵

Amazing closing words from our local organiser Takuya Hayashi: “banri ikku [Miyamoto Musashi] - No matter how far you travel, the sky is one, and connects the world.” Thank you all! #FSLcourse FSLeyes @OxfordWIN

Really exciting to have a dedicated society for our field! Massive thank you to the IST leadership team! Please support by joining for free 👇

Our book on diffusion MRI tractography is now out: shop.elsevier.com/books/handbook… Enjoy!

Massive congratulations to Jenna Hanmer for winning the 2024 bicismrm award for innovative methods in preclinical imaging, for her work on rodent MRI, tissue clearing and light-sheet 3D microscopy! SPMIC @OxfordWIN Uni of Birmingham

Great presentations from Stephania Assimopoulos J.P. Manzano-Patron @francescodanto Jenna Hanmer and Andrea Torchi bicismrm 2024. Thank you SPMIC for organising and all presenters and attendees for a great conference!

🚨 Postdoctoral position @OxfordWIN - deadline Oct 4th🚨 This is about sensitising MRI to cell type to explore neuroplastic changes 🧠. You would help develop and implement a molecular (& cell-specific) MRI technique based on the BOLD signal.

New preprint! Using simulation-based inference #SBI to map orientation #uncertainty and perform brain probabilistic #tractography. Work led by J.P. Manzano-Patron in collaboration with Jakob Macke Michael Deistler Cornelius Schröder Theo Kypraios @ppjgoncalves. European Research Council (ERC)

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

📢 We are excited to announce that the Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography is finally out! 🎉 Huge thanks to all the authors and the ever growing tractography community at IST International Society for Tractography and DSG-ISMRM ISMRM Diffusion Study Group !! From Flavio Dell'Acqua, Maxime Descoteaux, Alexander Leemans

We are soon starting our 5-year MRC programme grant on novel noninvasive ultrasound or magnetic stimulation for brain and mental health (see press release link). Watch out for our job advertisement for a postdoctoral fellow in neuromodulation later on... nottingham.ac.uk/news/new-resea…

New Nature Communications paper! We developed the first MRI-based atlas mapping neurotransmitter disruptions in stroke, opening doors for personalized treatments. Full article: rdcu.be/edHcH #Neuroscience #StrokeResearch #MRI #Neurotransmitters
