The big advance in the science of human aging is the ability to quantify it and relate the metrics to health and disease. A new paper today @CellCellPress takes this to the next level with organ clocks and multiple biologic layers (omics) of data across the lifespan.

Ten years (!) after submitting the grant, NextBrain is published in @Nature . NextBrain is a brain atlas built from 3D histology that enables segmentation of 3D brain scans (MRI, Hip-CT, even photos!) into hundreds of regions.

Adult human brains have between 86-100 billion neurons and every single one is unique - like snowflakes! ❄️
In this 3D rendering by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see 3 different shapes. Can you name all of them?

Cool study on TBI-induced remission of addition!
I tried to get the lesion-tract mapping by setting lesion as ROI on the HCP1065 template and run fiber tracking.
Results show TBI disrupted
1. uncinate (red)
2. IFOF (green)
3. ant thalamic rad (pink)
4. local U-fibers (blue)

Could having a TBI ever be paradoxically beneficial?
We report a case of a patient with chronic refractory alcohol use disorder that went into remission following a TBI with focal OFC hemorrhage 1/2

🧠 Updated my open-source SWC Neuron Morphology Editor (runs directly in-browser!)—now with 3D views & custom segment colors (e.g., toggle axons). Demo uses @AllenInstitute MICrONS data. Can't wait to animate neurons for talks!

Our latest work UNA has been accepted to #CVPR2025!
UNA is the first modality-agnostic model to synthesize healthy brain anatomy from images with potential abnormal patterns --- Achieved by our novel fluid-driven anomaly generator on-the-fly.
