Really enjoyed the Three Minute Thesis competition yesterday. I was very happy to be given the winning trophy after seeing some great presentations from fellow PhD students. Thank you to everyone who came up to me afterwards with their kind words and interest in my project.

This study examined prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during #gait in adults with persisting #concussion symptoms. PFC activity was higher in those with concussion, & higher PFC activity was related to greater symptom severity and some gait characteristics. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Researchers used fNIRS to record relative prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in people w/ #Parkinsons disease while walking. Their results suggest a reduction in PFC activity while walking may indicate less impaired, more automatic control of walking. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… #gait
