The Transdiagnostic Connectome Project: an open dataset for studying brain-behavior relationships in psychiatry. Sci Data 12, 923 (2025). doi.org/10.1038/s415... Happy sciencing all!! 🎉🧠⚛️
- 🚨Preprint!🚨 So excited to share my 1st major study as a postdoc at @holmeslab-bhi.bsky.social!🤘 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Using a transdiagnostic framework, we found that brain network dynamics were able to discriminate individualized psychiatric symptom profiles with high accuracy 🧵1/9👇
- Brain network dynamics – the nonstationary flow of information across brain systems – map individual diffs. in cognition/behavior better than activity or temporally-fixed connectivity alone. This has been shown in depression and schizophrenia; we asked if this extends transdiagnostically… 🧵2/9🧠
- Using the 11 diagnoses in the Transdiagnostic Connectome Project we tackled 3 Qs: 1. What dimensions of functioning pattern psychiatric symptoms? 2. How are dynamics impaired in patients? 3. Do dynamics classify symptom dimensions > diagnoses? 3/9 in-press Sci. Data: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Reposted by Carrisa V. Cocuzza, PhD (she/her)I'm thrilled to share that my graduate school project was just published in Nature Mental Health! We found that resting-state functional network predictors are more similar within vs between categories of internalizing and externalizing behavior in children (ABCD), adolescents (HBN) and adults (HCP)
