🧠 Real-world diagnosis ≠ case vs controls! Can MEG distinguish multiple diseases at once? Turns out a small set of phase-based connectivity edges can separate #MS, #ALS, #PD, and #MCI! @mconstancecorsi.bsky.social @inserm.fr @univ-amu.fr @univparissaclay.bsky.social

In case you missed it, I made a feed that uses a locally hosted LLM to sort through the entire Bluesky firehose to find great science. Topics span all cognitive science and neuroscience. Check it out! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"How can funders avoid crossing the Szilard point?"
The Szilard point is "the threshold at which the total cost of competing for a grant equals (or surpasses) the value of the available funding."
New preprint out!
How does criticality propagate from local neuronal circuits to whole-brain dynamics?
We tackle this with a multiscale, connectome-based mouse model @ldallap.bsky.social . 🧵/n

With deep gratitude to my extraordinary co-authors @MariannaAngiolelli, @FukaiTomoki, @GustavoDeco, @pierpasorre.bsky.social, and @davemomi.bsky.social
—this work would not have been possible without them.
Supported by the MSCA grant @ec.europa.eu and @upf.edu—more to come!

Thrilled to co-chair w/ @pierpasorre.bsky.social at the @ohbmofficial.bsky.social Satellite Meeting! Feat. D. Depannemaecker & @gianmarcoduma.bsky.social ma.bsky.social.
Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.
We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.
Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

A great work led by Camilla Mannino w/ @pierpasorre.bsky.social & @neurodynamicslab.bsky.social! @nerv-lab.bsky.social @institutducerveau.bsky.social 🧵
🧠 New Preprint out!
Brain fluidity: a functional marker of neuronal death in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Our results highlight the link between dynamic brain connectivity disruptions and neurodegeneration in AD.

Beta burst waveforms in PD! We find that specific types of beta bursts are rate-modulated by l-dopa, and STN-cortical connectivity during these burst types is related to clinical improvement. Fantastic work by Hasnae Agouram with @pierpasorre.bsky.social 🧠📈
Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social
In many brain areas, neuronal tuning is heterogeneous. But how does this diversity help behavior? We show how tuning diversity shapes representational geometry and boosts coding efficiency for perception in our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to Marie-Constance Corsi recipient of this year’s Early Career Award! Dr. Corsi’s innovative work in the #BCI field is already making a big impact.
A new computer model of Parkinson's disease has been created by researchers in France and Italy and tested in a first small-scale patient trial.

After a long journey, our paper is officially out in PNAS! 🚀 Huge thanks to the team — excited to finally share it with the world. Check it out: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Open source is draining.
One's todo-list is open to world.
People seldom realize the cost of what they get for free.
Unpleasant comments do happen.
Cost of maintenance is not understood.
