Many congratulations to Daria Jensen @dariaeajensen.bsky.social - I am super happy that this work is now out 🥳 Please share with anyone interested in stress (disorders) and/or the hypothalamus.

🔊 Exciting news for #FocusedUltrasound enthusiasts & #NeuroTwitter !

🧠 Join us at the ITRUSST Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation Conference (FUN24) from July 11th-13th, 2024 at MaRS in Toronto, Canada. Registration & abstract submission now live at fun24.ca.…

Curiosity and the dynamics of optimal exploration

Review by Francesco Poli (Francesco Poli), Jill X. O’Reilly, Rogier Mars, & Sabine Hunnius

Check out our new preprint where we use a novel suite of analytic, recording and disruption tools to show a critical role for raphe nucleus in matching an animal’s behaviour and motivation-level with its environment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks so much Lukas B Krone - really enjoyed the Cortex Club format too, such curious and interactive minds ☺️ thx for having me 🙏🏼

📣This is out in AP&P now! link.springer.com/article/10.375…
Do check it out if a) you're interested in deconvolution modelling on EEG/eye-tracking data, or b) if you've always wondered what I did in my bachelor thesis with Olaf Dimigen 🥳 I'm really really happy this is out

Thrilled the first part of my thesis is out now as an early release in the Journal of Neuroscience.

Happy the 2nd empirical chapter has (finally!) been published in Nature Communications:

In this work, we used simultaneous EEG-fMRI recordings to investigate the temporal cascade of biased learning from rewards and punishments across cortex and subcortex.

If you’re at MEG UKI, you can hear Lilian Aline Weber talk about the study tomorrow – and her many cool follow-on studies using MEG with time-varying volatility/stochasticity, EEG+ketamine, and cool new versions of the task that are genuinely clinically tractable with high reliability.

While it’s *deeply* unfashionable to be publishing in eLife - the journal right now - do humour us for advertising a study that was several years in the making (submitted way back when it was still possible for reviewers to reject us!). We’re rather proud of it.🧵👇🧵doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Interested in focused ultrasound neuromodulation for mental health? Join us tonight and tomorrow (5-10pm UK time) for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) workshop on this topic organised by Lennart Verhagen and Kim Butts Pauly - open to the scientific community and the public (& free!)

Register for this National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) workshop from Sept. 14-15, which will examine focused ultrasound neuromodulation for mental health applications and share the latest findings and best practices. The workshop is open to the scientific community and the public. go.nih.gov/iUuaVtY

Thrilled to receive an #ERCStG for my project on social cognition and non-invasive deep brain stimulation! Grateful for my current position at UCL Experimental Psychology and UCL Institute of Mental Health's support that allowed me to develop my ideas. European Research Council (ERC), UCL Psych & Lang Sci, @UCL , ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/sep/…

Some major good news. Well done all involved in negotiating this to a successful conclusion.

Does ultrasound impact the human brain? Our latest study shows that it can, up to one hour after sonication, providing evidence of early phase neuroplasticity. 🧠
