Illustration of the progression of pregnancy

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵

Our project on ghrelin and anhedonia has been making excellent progress thanks to the hard work of @corcerebrum.bsky.social and the entire project team.
I am positive that we will wrap up two preprints until the end of the year.

A Mirror Reveals a Surprise About Bird Brains A modified version of the classic mirror test suggested that roosters recognize their reflections.

Thanks Micah!

Hi Lucy! I'm doing some work around the topics of gastric interoception, emotions, and food in babies so would be nice to have a chat at some point 😊

Thank you 😊

#HiSciSky #AcademicSky I'm a #DevCogNeuro interested in bodyrepresentations, multisensory development and #interoception. I focus a lot of my research on infancy and toddlerhood.

Bear with me while I try and figure out how to navigate this new space :)
