MT770: Denis Chaimow presents "Towards a reproducible layer fMRI pipeline for high-level cognition" which entails a pre-registered replication study of VASO fMRI in the prefrontal cortex >> Mon: 1:15pm - 2:15pm and Tue: 2-3pm

MT771: Karolis Degutis presents "Increased working memory load activates superficial layers of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex" - a GE-BOLD study with results from layer-specific decoding of WM load and WM content >> Mon: 12:15pm - 1:15pm and Tue: 1-2pm

Come along to the #ohbm Multivariate Approaches session on Thursday morning (yes, after the club night) to see more simulation results from Dr. Tijl Grootswagers and Alexandra Woolgar - we looked at the benefit of creating pseudotrials using trial averaging and resampling. Poster WTh579

Sadly, I decided to leave #OHBM22 today. Caught covid 5 weeks ago and exhaustion is bringing my symptoms back. So I need to go home & rest. Sorry that I miss catching up with most of you! Really looked forward to reconnect! Make sure to chat with Denis Chaimow & Karolis Degutis

Hello OHBM attendees. Now that the conference is drawing to a close, did you get Covid?

I've spent the past year on a passion project, asking: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What have we learned? What challenges do we face? And what's our plan? As I pull it all together into a book, I want to champion these 11 references:

Dynamic layer-specific processing in the prefrontal cortex during working memory biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Excited to share our new preprint on working memory activity in the layers of the human dlPFC. Check it out!

!!! Hot off the pre-print press: "Dynamic layer-specific processing in the prefrontal cortex during working memory" - if you are into working memory, high-resolution fMRI (7T), cortical layers and the prefrontal cortex check out out Karolis' thread on our new results!!!

Happy to see that this work is now out in Communications Biology! nature.com/articles/s4200… We show that the layers of the PFC have distinct laminar activation profiles to working memory load and also provide evidence that this code is dynamic.

Layer-specific imaging of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reveals distinct laminar responses to working memory load and dynamic coding of working memory trial phases. Karolis Degutis, Romy Lorenz doi.org/10.1038/s42003…
