What aspects of neurodegeneration are reflected by blood NfL in Alzheimer's disease? Avenues for a clearer understanding of blood NfL? Delighted to share our latest review with Jessica Damoiseaux in Brain! Thanks to the reviewers and Ana M Daugherty John Woodard for the feedback

Check our Trends in Cognitive Sciences paper-differences in brain and cognition in aging do not necessarily reflect age changes! Greater effects of modifiable factors early in life. Should #aging and #AD research look to development? LCBC - UiO Anders Martin Fjell @lovdenlab authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13…

Ever wonder how people's brains differ from one another? ➡️ Individual differences in 🧠 organization commonly come in 2 forms: shifts in borders & 'ectopic intrusions' far from expected locations Now out in Nature Neuroscience, led by Ally Dworetsky rdcu.be/dGeIp 🧵soon!

Curious about harmonizing diffusion MRI data across multiple sites and scanners using Tractometry? We explore various methods for selecting bundle features in ComBat harmonization, such as bundle-specific, whole-brain, and bundle-core-wise. Which approach comes out on top? 👇🏽

90% Of His Brain Was Missing And He Did Not Know It — In 2007 in France, a 44-year-old man went to the doctor complaining of numbness in his leg and underwent a brain CT scan that revealed a shocking truth. That man didn't have 90% of his brain. The skull was almost entirely
