Postdoc in the Adaptive Dynamical Systems group led by @macshine.bsky.social at The University of Sydney 🧠
I'm probs either biking, hammocking, and/or caffeinating rn ☀️🌻

📢Maths in the Brain Workshop 2026 in Melbourne.
We will bring together researchers across Australia with a shared interest in understanding the brain from a quantitative perspective.
This year's keynote is delivered by Professor James Cole, University College London.

Excited to share newly minted PhD Anu Korukonda's tour de force thesis work describing the impact of pathogenic tau on #locuscoeruleus function in a mouse model of early #Alzheimers. A must for #BlueSpot researchers! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Inter-individual variability of neurotransmitter receptor and transporter density in the human brain | doi.org/10.1007/s004...
How do neuroreceptor distributions vary across people?
Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs.
But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅
First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti.

Have I missed your favorite subcortical/cerebellar/brainstem atlas?? 🥲
Feel free to create an issue suggesting one, or create your own vectorized map (& hopefully share with other researchers via repo PR 🙏) following the guide in the preprint + project website!

These plots can be readily integrated with cortical surface visualizations created using the fantastic ggseg package (github.com/ggseg/ggseg) led by @drmowinckels.io, as shown here with a GABAA-a1 PET map from Hansen et al. 2026: doi.org/10.1007/s004...
Live your best data viz life below the cortical surface, with pre-vectorized atlases ready to apply to subcortical/cerebellar stats from neuroimaging, transcriptomics, cytoarchitecture, etc 💅 demo'ed here on neurotransmitter PET receptor maps from Justine Hansen & co in @misicbata.bsky.social group
