Ayer saltaba por twiter el tema de los ✈️ viajes de estudios y a continuación, una parte del profesorado empezaba (como viene siendo habitual) a quejarse de "lo mal que está la juventud". A continuación mi hilo sobre el tema 👇👇👇
Como todo lo que escribe o dice @indomitus8 este hilo es genial. Si no lo sigues, te recomiendo encarecidamente que lo hagas.
No se me ocurre una manera mejor y más gráfica de mostrar el problema burocrático de la investigación universitaria que este tuit 👇👇👇
Sin duda, espectaculares los datos del artículo que te presento a continuación sobre desarrollo 🧠 cerebral 👇👇👇

Over the past few decades, neuroimaging has become a ubiquitous tool in basic research and clinical studies of the human brain. However, no reference standards currently exist to quantify individual differences in neuroimaging metrics over time, in contrast to growth charts for anthropometric traits such as height and weight1. Here we assemble an interactive open resource to benchmark brain morphology derived from any current or future sample of MRI data (http://www.brainchart.io/). With the goal of basing these reference charts on the largest and most inclusive dataset available, acknowledging limitations due to known biases of MRI studies relative to the diversity of the global population, we aggregated 123,984 MRI scans, across more than 100 primary studies, from 101,457 human participants between 115 days post-conception to 100 years of age. MRI metrics were quantified by centile scores, relative to non-linear trajectories2 of brain structural changes, and rates of change, over the lifespan. Brain charts identified previously unreported neurodevelo- pmental milestones3, showed high stability of individuals across longitudinal assessments, and demonstrated robustness to technical and methodological differences between primary studies. Centile scores showed increased heritability compared with non-centiled MRI phenotypes, and provided a standardized measure of atypical brain structure that revealed patterns of neuroanatomical variation across neurological and psychiatric disorders. In summary, brain charts are an essential step towards robust quantification of individual variation benchmarked to normative trajectories in multiple, commonly used neuroimaging phenotypes.
