NIIN alum, now a neuroimaging researcher 🧠,
Artemy Vinogradov ‘20 has joined @neuro_kj’s team at our USC LOFT lab as a project specialist. He is exploring new uses of functional MRI in health and disease.
Congratulations to NIIN alum Amy Ankoh ‘26! 🎉
Amy is now a neuroimaging research specialist in the Aging, Brain, Circulation (ABC) Lab at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

State-of-the-art imaging. Innovative informatics. Collaborative research. This is what accelerating discovery looks like. 🧠 ini.usc.edu
Coding and brain data, together from day one 💻
Our fall boot camp covers Bash, MATLAB, and Python, plus brain mapping and MRI data basics, a strong technical foundation before the research begins💪🧠
What does day one look like for NIIN's newest class? 🧠
Our students recently wrapped up orientation at Stevens Hall, meeting faculty, discussing coursework, and getting to know the facilities at @USCLONI. Excited to see where this cohort takes their training! Welcome aboard!
Congrats to NIIN alum, Amaryllis Tsiknia on her latest paper. Hear her discuss her findings here on The Academic Minute.
We are always looking for new ways to detect Alzheimer’s disease early.
Amaryllis Tsiknia, neuroscience PhD candidate at the @USC, may have found a clue.

New paper from NIIN instructor Dr. Leon Aksman's lab.
Our new study, led by @leon_aksman and Yingxu Liu, finds that gray matter and superficial white matter, the brain's short-range wiring, work together to support cognition in older adults. Healthier wiring may help protect thinking skills when gray matter declines 🧠
The 459-person study is among the first to examine this brain layer in a community-based population in India.

Recent work led by NIIN Instructor Dr. Lauren Salminen.
Our researchers, led by @LSalminen, found that exposure to common air pollutants was linked to different, and in some cases opposite, patterns of brain change in regions especially vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease. Older women showed a thinner cortex; younger men showed a thicker one, an association that reversed around age 65.
