Does the brain change during pregnancy? You bet it does. How about doing 26 MRI scans on a single person pre-conception to 2 years post-partum. WOW! Laura Pritschet and colleagues nailed it with their new paper in @NatureNeuro. Key Points: - The authors point out that pregnancy is a period of profound hormonal and physiological changes. - The authors did something incredible by mapping neuroanatomical changes in an individual from preconception through two years postpartum. - Boom! There were pronounced decreases in gray matter volume and cortical thickness. - There were increases in white matter microstructural integrity, ventricle volume and cerebrospinal fluid. - There were few regions untouched by the 'transition to motherhood.' My take: This study shows us how a single brain in a single person can be a powerful resource when scanned serially over time. This method is hard to pull off, however what it has the potential to teach us about neuroscience is mind-blowing. Though this paper is only a single subject, the data provides a comprehensive map of the human brain across gestation. It will be interesting to add to the dataset, so we can understand changes across multiple persons and multiple conditions. The convergence of evidence is revealing that pregnancy as associated with dramatic neuroplasticity. How about a shout out to this 38-year-old woman who underwent 26 MRI scans along with blood draws from 3 weeks preconception through 2 years postpartum! nature.com/articles/s41593-0… #pregnancy #brain @ndosenbach @andreashorn_ @EMiddlebrooksMD

Coming up at #WMIC2024! Today, @Kimia_Samadi will give a talk on molecular imaging of fatty liver disease (🕐9:39-9:49) & tomorrow @gregdbowden will talk about his work with @Scott_labUM at @UMichRadiology, giving insights into #radiochemistry & #DataScience (🕐9:26-9:36)

Strong work and a great presentation by Angela Han who spent some time with Eric Webb, @Scott_LabUM, and I over the summer. She did some excellent work, helping us establish next-gen high throughput methods for radiochemistry. Well done Angela! @UMichPharmacy @UMichRadiology

Our latest paper describes automated synthesis and preclinical imaging of a novel [18F]Fluorolidocaine analog via sequential C-H radiolabeling and is out in @rsc_medchem. Congrats @MadisonFrazier1 (1st paper!) @jays_wright @afallenbrooks. Read it here: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Arti…

That's a wrap for @SocRadiophSci #CAFACHEM 2024 @UMichRadiology @Scott_LabUM ☢️🧪👩🏻‍🔬 Thanks to all participants for an excellent meeting!

Our new work with @Sanford_Lab in @JOC_OL describes a photochemical Cu-mediated fluorination of aryl iodides using AgF and UVB light (313nm). The presumed radical method has been translated for #radiochemistry using a combination of K18F & AgOTf: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

The @SocRadiophSci #CAFACHEM summer school starts @UMichRadiology TODAY!!! We are hosting 75 young radiochemists and 20 faculty from all over the world who have come to Ann Arbor to talk about their latest work in carbon, fluorine and organohalogen #radiochemistry ☢️🧪⚛️🩻

When reviewer 2 responds to your response to reviewers…

There is 1 week left to register and join us in Ann Arbor for the CAFACHEM 2024 @SocRadiophSci summer school. Come and talk all things organic and halogen #radiochemistry with >75 attendees from all over the world! ☢️⚛️ srsweb.org/cafachem2024-regi…

First up at #SNMMI24, come to @RPSC_SNMMI @SNM_MI CMIIT poster mixer to hear about research being done by our faculty @jays_wright & Eric, postdocs Jason, Ryan, Josh & @gregdbowden, undergrad Kevin, & grad students @MadisonFrazier1 @DrGallium Helen, Casey, Gina, @HorikawaMami!

Happy to share our latest publication on advancing #Parkinson’s diagnostics! Discover how arylpyrazolethiazole derivatives can image αlpha-synuclein aggregates in vivo. This could push forward early #diagnosis and therapeutic assessment! Read more here: doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c0…

📬 4 June 2pm: next CHEMistry Seminar by @ESMI_CHEM Study Group. Nominate an ECR from your team/network to speak & let's talk chemistry 🧪⚗️☢️! Details on nomination & seminar-login at e-smi.eu/esmi-study-groups/c…

🏃‍♀️Only a couple days left until @Der_GirlsDay will take place on April 25! So hurry up and register for the last remaining spots: 💊#Cancer #Drug development: girls-day.de/.oO/Show/ifit-e… 🔬Skin & #Immunesystem: girls-day.de/.oO/Show/ifit-e… #womeninscience #girlsday #cancerresearch

1/2 Nuclear medicine @UMichRadiology has imaged cholesterol trafficking with NP59 & FNP59 for years. New work by @afallenbrooks & Ben Viglianti in @ACSMedChemLett unexpectedly shows esters may be better imaging agents as they are delivered to tissues faster than free cholesterol.

Abstract submission is open for CAFACHEM2024, the @SocRadiophSci Summer School on Organic and Halogen Radiochemistry. Submission Deadline: May 13, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. US Eastern Time. cafachem.org/submissions/

Action shots from yesterday's @UMichPharmacy symposium. Great speakers and lots of cool science, ideas and philosophy being discussed-exciting time to be a chemist! Thanks to @JNJNews for sponsoring-I hope this becomes an annual symposium! @gregdbowden @leecronin @JanssenUS

Delighted to welcome Dr. Christine Gelin @JanssenUS and Prof. @leecronin to @UMichPharmacy for today’s @JNJNews symposium! @gregdbowden from our lab will give one of the trainee talks on his work with #HighThroughput #Radiochemistry & #DesignOfExperiments. Hope to see you there!

My first true foray into the wonderful worlds of radiochemical methodology development and photoredox chemistry!! So cool! And Learned a lot!! Was super fun putting this together with Kevin, Eric, @jays_wright, @Scott_LabUM, and @Sanford_Lab!

Our latest paper with @Sanford_Lab is out in @JOC_OL and uses #photochemistry and copper mediators to radiocyanate diverse thianthrenium salts in 5 min @ room temp in air. Congrats Xwitter-less Kevin and Eric, @gregdbowden and @jays_wright. Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
