Heartfelt thanks to co-authors/lead Udo Dannlowski & @jgross.bsky.social for the great collaboration, and to the teams behind open data&code initiatives @camcan-2010.bsky.social, neuromaps, BigBrain&ENIGMA toolbox for providing data and tools that made this work possible #Neuroscience
We find partic. distinct associations with neuronal density, large-scale gene expression&multiple neuromodulatory systems. We also show that age-related patterns (18-88 y) in these #MEG markers map onto neuroinflammatory, cholinergic/monoaminergic, myelination, developmental&vascular signatures.
Brain anatomy and molecular signaling predict neurophysiological dynamics across the lifespan

Happy to share work dissecting the contribution & relative importance of cortical features explaining regional variation in MEG markers using multiv prediction #neuroskyence
Come work with us, answering interesting questions in new ways
G'day connection makers. On **April 16th**, we're hosting Georg Northoff telling us about intrinsic timescales. If it sounds interesting, here's the link to register: cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
***Please forward to interested colleagues***
The call for symposia (deadline 15 April) and abstracts (deadline 1 May) for Biomag 2026 in Beijing (23-25 Aug) is now open:

Neuropeptides are functionally diverse signaling molecules in the brain and body.
@cebric.bsky.social curates an atlas of neuropeptide receptors and relates it to brain function @natneuro.nature.com 🧩 🧠 ⤵️
Incredibly excited to finally share this project! Most heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for their support 🫶🏻 Looking forward to much more gut-brain research to come!
Very happy and proud about two recent preprints by talented PhD students Sümeyye Sen Alpay and Sarah Allen.

Nice review by @rhens.bsky.social of the >300 papers using CamCAN data to study the cognitive neuroscience of aging rdcu.be/e73yS - thanks to the authors of all those papers!

Conjunctive population coding integrates sensory evidence to guide adaptive human behavior. New work led by @jonasterlau.bsky.social in @pnas.org. We used human intracranial EEG to understand how coordinated population activity supports context-dependent behavior. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... (1/4)
Ripple oscillations are central for memory and sleep.
But ripple detection in humans remains challenging. Here we introduce a simulation approach in @natcomms.nature.com as common ripple detectors mainly pick up 1/f noise and not genuine oscillations

Median time under review (time intervened from submission to acceptance) of articles indexed in PubMed with a female first author (n = 2,562,262), a male first author (n = 3,405,821), a female corresponding author (n = 975,010), a male corresponding author (n = 1,946,469), a female first author and a female corresponding author (n = 757,878), a male first author and a male corresponding author (n = 1,357,835), all-female authors (n = 650,280), and all-male authors (n = 2,146,799)
Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org
Over the years, I have written a few Jupyter/Rmd/Matlab notebooks that attempt to teach some statistical concepts, particularly in neuroimaging. You can find them here: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/rik.h..., though I will say a bit more about each one in a number of posts over next few days.
🎉 The data of the Berlin Aging Study (BASE) are now accessible via the Research Data Center of the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) @zpid.bsky.social.
This is a unique longitudinal data set with great potential – also for young scientists.

Aperiodic activity reflects pathological waveforms in epilepsy (and not necessarily hyper-excitability or altered E/I-balance). The 1/f slope goes up *or* down as function of waveforms during seizures. New work by Laura Heidiri and Frank van Schalkwijk from the lab: www.jneurosci.org/content/45/5...
Thrilled to share our paper is out now in @ebiomedicine.bsky.social 🥳 The interoception accuracy part is still my favorite 🤩 Have a look: www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...
A paper from my PhD lab is on Science! This is a really cool new way to utilize EM connectome datasets. Congrats to the team!

Hunger often affects our mood, but is this a conscious or a subconscious process? Using continuous glucose monitoring, we show that differences in mood are driven by hunger ratings, not just glucose. #neuroskyence 🩺

Kenza Bennis investigated daily reconfigurations of EEG functional networks in older adults and highlighted their associations with the presence of AD biomarkers, and longitudinal cognitive trajectories over seven years!
A great collaborative work !

New position, new social media account. After 5 fantastic years in Tuebingen, I moved to @yale.edu and the @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this summer - which means that I’ll be recruiting PhD students and postdocs. Please help me to spread the word and see current opportunities below 👇
New work from the lab published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social by @jonasterlau.bsky.social and Jan Martini. We describe that trial-by-trial variability indexes recurrent connectivity across the cortical hierarchy, which supports reliable and flexible coding www.cell.com/neuron/abstr... (1/4)
Exciting news from the chairs of Biomag 2026, Prof. Jiahong Gao and Prof. Huan Luo — the conference website is now live: biomag2026.scimeeting.cn The meetings take place in Beijing, 23–25 August 2026.
