The brainstem’s red nucleus was evolutionarily upgraded to support goal-directed action (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) ... Originally for quadrupedal locomotion, it is for action in humans. Functionally connected to the action (CON, SCAN) and salience networks, including ant.

How to find massive motor plasticity effects in the subcortex? Find out in our preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Turns out these new findings change our understanding of #Parkinson disease and some #sleep processes. Let me unfold it With Nico Dosenbach @gordonneuro Dillan Newbold

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves:

New paper out today in PNAS 🎉 demonstrating: 1) an association btw social disadvantage & child brain function can be observed at birth 2) these alterations are 🧠-wide, but most pronounced in functional networks & subcortex linked to childhood adversity doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
