👀Brainstem atlas animation 👀 Using high-quality NIH Human Connectome Project data, we previously built a probabilistic map of 23 major brainstem fiber bundles—overcoming distortion issues that plagued past studies. It's publicly available for all: bit.ly/44kQFuy 🧠🔬

Basal ganglia output is a formidable bottleneck Striatum neurons project to output nuclei in a ratio ~16:1; but their targets outnumber them by up to 150 to 1. New paper on how I got to those numbers & the model of basal ganglia output they imply eneuro.org/content/12/4/E…

New paper on arousal in the brain! What controls the controller?

We pay people to quit their jobs, and start fighting the world’s biggest problems instead. Not someday. Not later. Now’s the time. Already, 20+ people across Europe have made the leap. Because the truth is: The world doesn’t just need more brilliant minds. It needs brilliant

Big congrats to Andrew Luskin mbruchas et al., on their paper on circuits controlling LC neurons. Lots of interesting data on the peri-LC cell types, connectivity, and function to dig into here.

Please chk out the lab's newest paper, a labor of love it was. From Andrew Luskin & Li Li, MD, PhD, w/ @madisonmartin Brain in a jar Rhiana C Simon, PhD @GoldenNeuron Stuber Lab & others. We report a new road map for the LC-NE & peri-LC systems. Thx National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) NIDAnews nature.com/articles/s4158…

I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Michael Bruchas about an absolutely banger recent paper from his group that tracked down cells in the brainstem that subtlety and precisely control the output of the locus coeruleus. Check out my interview here!

Come meet CAMRI UNC members during ISMRM! On Saturday (May 10) at the Bruker event and Monday (May 12) at 14:01 in the fMRI power pitch session, Tzu-Hao Harry Chao will talk about his work mapping inter-brain functional connectivity in socially interacting mice using SORDINO.

Applications for our postdoc position closes in 6 days! (Deadline: May 18 11:55pm AEST) If you are interested in MRI, modelling of brain dynamics, and genetics in health, disease, or across evolution, we would love for you to join our team👇👇
