Mapping the spatiotemporal continuum of structural connectivity development across the human connectome in youthWe published a research article in Nature Communications. This study identifies a spatiotemporal continuum of structural connectivity (SC) development along the sensorimotor-association (S-A) connectional axis during youth and further demonstrates its implications for both cognition and psychopathol...15 May , 2026 -
Long-range white-matter pathways enable efficient spontaneous propagation in the human brainWe published a research article "Long-range white-matter pathways enable efficient spontaneous propagation in the human brain" in The Journal of Neuroscience. By integrating stereo-EEG with diffusion spectrum imaging, this study shows that brain-wide information propagation is not determined by dist...11 May , 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 (<...
