Our latest on precision MRI in AD/FTLD!
A group of young people sit on a bench behind a fence at a baseball diamond. Text reads, “FREE Vaccine Clinics in Boston. Get your flu and COVID-19 vaccines for free. No appointment necessary, walk-ins welcome. Find dates, times, and locations at boston.gov/vaccine-clinics.” The logos for the City of Boston, Boston Public Health Commission, Boston Public Schools, Boston Centers for Youth and Families, Legacy Care Group, and Shaw’s Star Market are at the bottom.
We’re offering free vaccine clinics in Boston. Vaccines are safe, effective, and protect against serious illness. Getting vaccinated keeps you healthy and helps protect your family, friends, and community.

If you're an ISTAART member, please consider voting for me as one of your incoming Steering Committee members for the Neuroimaging PIA! I'd love the opportunity to be part of this exciting community of scientists and shape the future of translational neuroimaging.
The plan for NIH is in, source with full 64 page proposal for all of HHS is linked. Reported in WaPo. This is catastrophic. Reduction to 8 centers. 40% cut in budget. 15% IDC cap. This will decimate science across America open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

This is fantastic, Roberto, not sure why we hadn’t run into your work… we’ll check this out and most definitely follow up with you!
Ah we’ve totally missed this! Thank you for pointing me to it!!☺️
If you're at #CNS2025, be sure to check out the poster presentation Monday morning (D139) by our wonderful mentee Josh on flatsurfer -- our soon-to-be-released python package to create limbic-centered flat maps of the cerebral cortex. w/ @jtheriault.bsky.social
Yes, taking 30+ short MPRAGE scans as was done here wouldn't be feasible in a typical neuroimaging experiment (and hence PoC!). We're hopeful that compressed sensing sequences with faster (~1 min) AT will prove more useful and realistic in longitudinal studies over short time intervals.
**New Preprint** We show that pooling morphometric estimates via "cluster scanning" (i.e., repeat T1w MPRAGE scans with AT = ~2 min/ea.) allows detection of cortical atrophy in phenotypically vulnerable regions in phenotypes of AD and FTLD over 3- and 6-months.
