New Paper: White-matter functional connectivity uniquely predicts brain age, cognition, and psychopathology beyond gray-matter connectivityWe published a research article in PNAS, demonstrating that functional connectivity involving white matter provides unique information about human neurodevelopment and behavior beyond gray-matter connectivity. Both gray–white (G-W) and white–white (W-W) functional connectivity robustly predicted bra...11 Aug , 2026 -
New paper: Intracranial EEG reveals working memory-related dynamics and connectivity in human white matterWe published a research article "Intracranial EEG reveals working memory-related dynamics and connectivity in human white matter" in Science Bulletin. Using human intracranial EEG recordings, this study provides electrophysiological evidence that human white matter exhibits tract- and frequency-spec...21 Jul , 2026 -
Congratulations to Dr. Xiaoyu Xu on her PhD graduationWe are pleased to announce that Dr. Xiaoyu Xu has successfully completed her PhD and received the Outstanding Graduate Award from Beijing Normal University. During her PhD, Dr. Xu focused on the typical development of white-matter structural connectivity during youth and its alterations in attentio...01 Jun , 2026

ABOUT
We study the fundamental organizational principles and behavioral relevance of brain structural and functional networks in humans, and seek to map normal brain network development and how it alters in mental disorders across youth. To achieve this, our team combines neuroimaging techniques, network modeling, machine learning, behavioral and experimental design. We are an independent lab at Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing (<...
