We describe rare cases of acquired aphantasia, people who lost the ability to visually imagine after a stroke or other brain injury.

- Thrilled our ADHD network mapping work is now out in Annals of the Child Neurology Society, and honored to be featured on the cover! 🔗 Full article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @childneurosoc.bsky.social @bostonchildrens.bsky.social @simonwarfield.bsky.social @braincircuits.bsky.social
- 2️⃣ Why this study? Do brain imaging studies on anatomical changes in ADHD consistently identify the same brain regions? Surprisingly, our meta-analysis of 38 studies found minimal spatial agreement across studies.

- Reposted by Alexander Li CohenHow can a brain disease increase creativity? We derive a brain circuit from creative tasks demonstrating they share reduced activity in the right frontal pole. Then we show that brain lesions & neurodegeneration that increase creativity are connected to this location jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

- Excellent resource!!!
- I would have titled this: “Shining a light on the black hole: Look you can see activations in orbitofrontal cortex now!”
- Completely agree.

- Are you tempted to orthogonalize the regressors in your fMRI model? @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social tells you why this is almost never a good idea, and is likely to wreck the interpretation of your model. mumfordbrainstats.tumblr.com/post/1337933...
