My review with @caterinagratton.bsky.social is (apparently) open access for those who couldn't see it before:

www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

We discuss individual differences in brain network organization and how to home in on and talk about commonalities in the face of such differences

3) @dianacperez.bsky.social is presenting TUESDAY AM at LPB028

Diana used precision datasets of younger and older adults to individual brain network maps
โ–ถ๏ธ she shows that variability increases across the lifespan, suggesting new models for the development of individual differences

Group-to-individual generalizability and individual-level inferences in cognitive neuroscience Much of cognitive neuroscience research is focused on group-averages and interindividual brain-behavior associations. However, many theories core to tโ€ฆ

We focused on fMRI studies of ๐Ÿง  networksโ€ฆ but thereโ€™s so much more neat idiographic work being done in other neuroimaging & psychology domains! See @mattmattoni.bsky.social's recent review for more thoughts on uniting these perspectives

We wrap up by reflecting on this exciting โ€“ if complex! โ€“world that precision ๐Ÿง  imaging has opened for cognitive neuroscience, where we are challenged to chart individual brains to discover what makes them unique and what they share in shaping our minds.

Do brain network differences explain behavior? Sometimes -- but we review evidence suggesting the answer is not that simple. Stochasticity ๐ŸŽฒ, redundancy ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿง‘ and degeneracy ๐ŸŒ€ are probably all important, in addition to simple one-to-one mappings.

Why do we have variability in brain networks in the first place?
We discuss cases of perinatal damage and early life experience to make sense of these findings, as well as possibilities for plasticity in brain networks in adults
