👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social AI Core co-director @amykooz.bsky.social on the application of AI to advance women’s health in neuroscience
Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty www.nature.com/articles/d41... 👆🏼one to watch by @amykooz.bsky.social and Co
Reading up on precision imaging & struck by these findings of greater hormonal variation - & impact on brain networks - in the sampled man vs woman!
Another nail in the coffin of the 'hormonal/hysterical' woman?!

‼️🥳New publication from
@giorgia-picci.bsky.social and co in Journal of Neuroendocrinology.
🔍Using a dense longitudinal MRI design, this study maps intraindividual pituitary trajectories in 3 women before, during, and after pregnancy🤰🧠.
In Beautiful Hawaii for @ossdcomm.bsky.social premeeting on women’s health! Up next is @emilyjacobs.bsky.social for our keynote on the Unchartered Mind: New Frontiers in Women’s Health.
My perspective in The Transmitter on the role of AI and neuroimaging in advancing women’s brain health.
“To put it bluntly, we need to recruit more AI researchers to be interested in women’s brain health, and we need to make women’s brain health researchers more fluent in AI.”

Addressing the gap in women’s health data will require collecting widespread data on pregnancy, menopause and other life events that women experience, writes @amykooz.bsky.social.

Study could help reveal why some mental health disorders vary between men and women — but it's not clear whether the differences are due to sex or gender.

During pregnancy, the maternal body undergoes profound, coordinated physiological adaptations to support the developing fetus, including major shifts in immune regulation and dramatic changes in the vascular system. Accompanying these peripheral adaptations, recent longitudinal studies in humans point to significant remodeling of the nervous system, occurring in lockstep with increases in gonadal hormone production. To understand the neural adaptations tied to pregnancy and the postpartum period, a holistic approach is essential—one that accounts for changes across multiple peripheral systems. In this review, we consider the impact of the endocrine, cardiovascular, microbiome, and immune systems on the maternal brain. By adopting this integrative approach, we aim to better understand the biological pathways that shape the maternal brain during normative pregnancies and those marked by adverse events.
🚨 New preprint: Objective Quality Assessment for Precision fMRI
Precision functional mapping (PFM) enables individual-level brain network studies — but demands more, and better, data.
We introduce an objective framework to determine when a dataset truly supports interpretable, replicable PFM.
