Sad news - Barbara did amazing work…
Barbara Finlay, who died on 12 September, championed the idea that developmental constraints dictate how evolution sculpts brains, which she used to model the timing of hundreds of events and align them across mammalian species.View quoted post on X

Thankful to be part of this fab collab led by @TrangCao2016, S Saha, & Z Tao showing that geometric eigenmodes facilitate identification of potential biomarkers for hereditary ataxias:

Our latest out now in @BiologicalPsyc1 led by @SidChop disentangling effects of illness from antipsychotics on longitudinal cortical thickness changes in early psychosis
🧠 Excited to share the results of our placebo-controlled RCT in psychosis: cortical thinning in the first year of illness is very likely not because of antipsychotic medication, but due to the illness itself.

Final version of our @CellCellPress paper led by @_francisnormand modelling mouse, marmoset, macaque, chimp and human connectomes from geometric constraints alone is now out!
