Well done Stefano!

Here's our take on the BWAS paper & individual differences analyses in human neuroscience more generally Emily Finn. Props to the original authors for such discussion-generating work nature.com/articles/s4159…

Schematic of circuits and functions of the human brain. We still need to know more. #neuroscience #NeuroTwitter #Bioinformatics #MedTwitter #brain #Science #sciencetwitter

Definitely, one of the most interesting readings of the last time (by Luiz Pessoa and coll.). I believe other related fields may benefit as well from a similar perspective: moving away from standard mental constructs to complex behaviors. A short thread royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Congrats to Arianna Menardi & @criscosta94 for their prizes at Società Italiana di Psicofisiologia & Neuroscienze Cognitive. Padova Neuroscience Center

Short answer: Yes

Can a network analysis reveal the specific roles of #adaptability, #curiosity, and grit in learning and wellbeing? A study on ~600 Italian students. Read the paper by Tommaso Feraco Enrico Sella Chiara Meneghetti and Giorgia Cona from Università di Padova here: doi.org/10.3390/jintel…

🎉New paper out! 🎉 Does what we just saw affect our ability to fulfill an intention? Short answer: yeah, it does! Long answer: doi.org/10.7717/peerj.… A novel method to investigate the impact of negative & COVID-related information on 🧠 Thanks to Giorgia Cona & Giovanni Cantarella

Altogether, involving multiple modalities allowed us to A. confirm the top-down nature of specific processes, and B. find new interpretations for previously unclear findings. A special thanks to Giorgia Cona and Giorgio Arcara for their irreplaceable support
