Openly shared implementation of TMS targeting is still rare, so we are pleased to make ours freely available for research use: github.com/ThomasYeoLab...
Let us know if you have any issue running it!
Tree-based MS-HBM TMS targeting algorithm. Contribute to ThomasYeoLab/Kong2026_TMSTree development by creating an account on GitHub.github.com
Our TMS algorithm is now published in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...
If you are coming to @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social, come check out our poster about our open label trial.

"The differences between modern human and Neanderthal brains, as estimated from endocranial reconstructions, do not meaningfully exceed those among different modern human populations." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
What matters most for childhood brain organization?
We analyzed 649 variables.
The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers.
Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES.

How can we acquire new knowledge and skills on a daily basis while remaining the same person?
I'm excited to share our new preprint led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Ally Dworetsky tackling this question, just in time for #OHBM2026:

Do humans show sex differences in brain activation? If so, are these task-specific or general — and do they relate to sex differences in brain anatomy and behavior?
We dove deep into these questions in a new paper just out in Nature Communications | tinyurl.com/3rdrb524

Anti-science politicians and activists are spreading misinformation about science in Oregon. These misinformation campaigns have put the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) at risk of closure. We’re asking you to use your voice.

Function & cytoarchitecture don't overlap ... they're orthogonal. Prefrontal cortex is plastered with chains of functional patches previously mostly known from face processing. Why multi-modal parcellations are wrong ... and other insights hidden by group-averaging of fMRI data. great explainer👇🏻
Indiana University is in great financial health, according to a recent independent analysis. The report says administrative costs have grown significantly while instruction and faculty pay lagged. @weiss-a-woni.bsky.social

modern humans on average. These shape differences have long been...
I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics.
It turns out I was wrong.
Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams.
