Excited to share our work on infant brain development! Even though it seems like newborns sleep a lot, their brains are incredibly hard at work building brain tissue related to myelin and synapses in sensory-motor cortex in the first 6 months of life. socialsciences.nature.com/po…

Our annual symposium (virtual) will bring together scientists investigating the application of brain stimulation technologies to solve clinical challenges. Register now for "Frontiers of Neuromodulation" bit.ly/3rtpc5z @bradlega @drpouratian @UTSWNeurology

Excited to share our new work on infant development, which is now out in Nature Communications. We found that white matter bundles of the infant brain myelinate incredibly fast and that different white matter locations develop at different rates socialsciences.nature.com/po…
No ice or snow stopping this group of dyslexia advocates! @DallasIDA
Check out our awesome lineup of speakers, @gothemind, @weedentracy, @Steph_AlOtaiba &

Ever wonder if the white matter connections of high-level visual areas are linked to cytoarchitecture, category-selectivity, or both? Excited to share the first project of my PhD, with @mareikegrotheer, @dfinz, @vsnatu, @JesseGomezBrain, & @kalatwt:

@vsnatu et al describe microstructural tissue growth in early infancy, highlighting the importance of cortical myelination to brain development. @monaebear @kalatwit @mgrotheer @kularholly @avivmezer @stanford_vpnl @StanfordBrain @StanfordPsych nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Let’s begin 2nd day of #Flux21 Flash talks #1 will start at 6am PDT. The chair is Laurel Gabard-Durnam and the speakers are Cong Wang, Dietsje Jolles, Max Herzberg, Nicholas Fogleman, Robert Hermosillo, and Vaidehi Natu.
Excited to share our work on infant development at #Flux21. Come see my Flash talk (Flash talk #1) and poster (1-H-62) today to see how cortical microstructure develops in the first 6 months of human life.

How do visual experiences shape the developing brain? #NEIfunded research suggests cortical recycling for adjusting to changing visual demands (infants: face recognition, older kids: word recognition). @JesseGomezBrain @dfinz @kalawt @KularHolly @vsnatu @StanfordBrain
Excited to share this awesome work led by Marisa Nordt where we find that the brain recycles areas to accommodate the growing cognitive demands of reading and face recognition in school-aged kids! @JesseGomezBrain @dfinz @KularHolly Alex Rezai @kalatwt nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Sorry to post urgent request! Is anyone in the BayArea flying to India tomorrow & willing to take medical equipment for my dad 🥺Shipping bottlenecks are disaster. On organizational front @IndiaCOVIDSOS - we have supplies ready to leave but stuck w flight cancellation. Please DM

Excited to share our new work on white matter development in infancy. We find that least mature white matter at birth myelinates fastest after birth. We also introduce babyAFQ, a new tool for white matter bundle identification in individual infants. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Excited to share my new work on how babies begin to sense their world and the immense tissue growth in cortex to support sensory functions. @Monaebear @kalatwt @mareikegrotheer @AvivMezer @KularHolly biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
