Our latest PP led by Iva Ilioska, in collab. w/ Neural Systems and Behaviour Lab Donders Institute. We use normative modelling to characterise the inter-individual variability of FC alterations in people with autism from individual edges to macroscale networks: tinyurl.com/mr4673cw

Excited to share my PhD results showing a hierarchical coordinate system for sequence memory in human EC. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Below is a thread explaining this nonsense. 1/9

Short lecture by Kurt Vonnegut on the 'simple shapes of stories.' Or storytelling + data visualization + data visualization about storytelling = mind blown.

Concerned about standard case-control studies in psychiatry? Check our our latest on embracing variability in biological studies led by Ashlea Segal, with @AvramHolmes @amarquand Linden Parkes & J Tiego now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences: cell.com/trends/cogniti…

Our latest in Trends in Cognitive Sciences on embracing, rather than mitigating, variability in the search for biological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders Available here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k32t4sIRvTB… Thanks to the dream team (Alex Fornito, Jeg Tiego, Linden Parkes, @AvramHolmes, @amarquand)!

Born #OnThisDay in 1934 was astronomer, astrobiologist and science communicator Carl Sagan. As well as being one of the world's greatest science communicators, he worked on the Viking and Mariner missions. Listen to his famous 'Pale Blue Dot' monologue: bit.ly/2ANRX30

Our lab (thefinnlab.github.io) is excited to review PhD applications this cycle! Check us out if you wanna do interesting stuff with brains and behavior in the woods 🌲🧠🌲Apply to Dartmouth Psych&Brain Sciences via Guarini Grad School (graduate.dartmouth.edu/admissions-f...) by Dec 1!

Nice results. You can't understand cortex w/o the thalamus Primate thalamic nuclei select abstract rules and shape prefrontal dynamics biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Neuroscience They also find a spectrolaminar cortical motif like this study: nature.com/articles/s4159…

I am recruiting for 2 posts to join our FTD research! A research assistant or postdoc working on PET and coordination of a new study: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49140/ A biostatistician to work on blood-based markers in ONFIRE: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49134/ Deadline 8th Dec - share widely!

You had me at “neuron-astrocyte interactions” 😉 ⭐️ 🧠

Adult human brains have between 86-100 billion neurons and every single one is unique - like snowflakes! ❄️ In this 3D rendering by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see 3 different shapes incl. (from left to right) a basket cell, tufted excitatory cell, and a Martinotti cell.

The Laurent group is back again working with the pogona. They found that light pulses can reset or entrain the alternation between REM and slow wave sleep. Through careful tests, they conclude that this ultradian rhythm works like a CPG. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Exciting news!

Brilliant

My paper is out!! 🎉 "Opponent control of reinforcement by striatal dopamine and serotonin", nature Here, we show that dopamine and serotonin signals form a gas-brake system for reward in the mammalian brain 🧠 THREAD ⬇️ 1/n

SleepLüthiLab uncovers a dual role of #locus Pierre-Hervé Luppi in #sleep -> 1) its strict gatekeeper role for the sleep cycle 2) the partial brain-body arousals it generates. Powerful minds behind all this: Alejandro Osorio-Forero Georgios Foustoukos Romain Cardis nature.com/articles/s4159…

A very exciting episode out now — our very own @bethfisher_1 tells us all about optimism! Beth shares work on psilocybin administration in rats🍄 and how optimism shapes our engagement with the world. We hope you enjoy listening as much as much as we enjoyed recording this one!
