Neurosalience #S3E3 - OHBM2022 Live: The way forward to better brain-wise association studies (BWAS)

This week on Neurosalience, something a little different: a live podcast recorded at the OHBM 2022 Annual Meeting featuring a continuation of a discussion of the recent paper "Reproducible brain-wide association studies require thousands of individuals" by Scott Marek et al. This paper set the stage for some great discussions about what it means for the field and its broader implications for brain research (see Season 2 Episode 21 for a discussion with the authors: https://bit.ly/3T1lWu8). For the live podcast we are joined by four leaders in the field whose research is very related and hinges on the ideas around the Marek et al. paper.

Guests:

Avram Holmes, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Psychology and of Psychiatry at Yale University.

Caterina Gratton, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University.

Paul Thompson, Ph.D. is a Professor of Ophthalmology, Neurology, Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences, Radiology, Psychiatry, and Engineering and Associate Director of the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute.

Monica Rosenberg, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago.

Title: MindMap - The Intricate Wiring of the Human Brain

Description: The human brain is an enormously complex network of interconnected neurons. Brain activity is orchestrated via information propagation between cortical and subcortical gray matter through fiber tracts that interweave long projections of nerve cells in white matter. This image, captured via diffusion MRI, illustrates the marvel of the intricate wiring patterns of the human brain.
