And Eli Bueicheku showed that #locuscoeruleus changes may precede cortical tau, predicting future cognitive decline. She also highlighted some of the genetic features associated with this spatial pattern of tau vulnerability! With Jorge Sepulcre Lab Nature Aging 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4358…

Extremly honoured & grateful to be awarded one of the BrightFocus Foundation fellowships to continue our work on the role of neuromodulatory systems in Alzheimer's development.
Huge thanks to my mentors Mara Mather and Ulman Lindenberger Center for Lifespan Psychology (MPIB, Berlin) for their support!

We are beginning an online monthly seminar series on traveling waves of neural oscillations where we will explore new findings and methods with experts in the field.

We can’t wait to kick off our first seminar on April 2nd at 12-1p ET with Earl Miller Earl K. Miller

To all the fellow #locuscoeruleus enthusiasts! We are thrilled to announce a new LC meeting! This year focusing in particular on sleep and subcortical atlases, with contributions from Weinshenker Lab Heidi Jacobs Lab Cambridge FTD and many more excellent researchers!

Excited to see this feature out in ⁦⁦Science Magazine⁩. We had a lot of fun capturing highlights of my postdoctoral research with ⁦M. Werkle-Bergner ⁦Max Planck Institute for Human Development⁩ and also speaking about ongoing cross-species research with ⁦Tomás Ryan⁩ science.org/content/articl…

🔵 Noradrenaline directly regulates gene expression in the brain. 8 years in the making, now finally published in eLife - the journal 🥳
During revisions, we added 32 RNAseq samples and a meta-analysis of 71 RNAseqs to rule out major sex differences. #stress

Accepted! Our paper on subspace synchronization between prefrontal and motor cortex during rule-guided behavior is now published in Nature Communications. Spearheaded by Jan Weber and in collab with UniOslo_RITMO. Tweetprint below, but check out the final version for more details

Science Advances published our paper in which we asked: 'Where does all the sugar go in the brain?' ...it's less the size of the brain, than slow chemical signaling, 4 main findings below 🧵

Pupil size changes are a great marker of attention, BUT this requires very controlled visual input. New model Open-DPSM (t.ly/_onqK) spearheaded by Cai Yuqing #psynomBRM might resolve this. And you can use it: Load video + eye-tracking data & sit back! short 🧵

Super thrilled to share that our work on what shapes SO-spindle coupling across child and adolescent development is now published in eLife - the journal🔗elifesciences.org/articles/83565. Many thanks to amazing co-authors M. Werkle-Bergner Kerstin Hoedlmoser Michael Hahn Georg Gruber and our constructive reviewers 🙌
