- The neuroscience team at Nature Communications is hiring a new editor to be based in either Shanghai or Pune with experience in computational neuroscience or neuroimaging! springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/de-DE/Spring...
- Just ahead of the year of the horse - the most detailed horse brain atlas to date and preliminary evidence for default mode network organization!
- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDVery happy to see this last thesis paper in press @natcomms.nature.com! We combine intracranial EEG with multimodal MRI to study how interregional similarity in neurophysiology relates to different network scales ⚡ 🧠 Full story 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDVery impressed with @didacvp.bsky.social's work in @natcomms.nature.com, the most thorough mapping of longitudinal memory-atrophy relationships in normal aging, showing both global and memory-specific associations, which grow stronger with age. Early accsess here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDOur new paper is out in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s41... We combined psychophysics, 7T fMRI, and computational modeling of vision with placebo, 5mg, and 10mg psilocybin, in the same group of participants, to clarify the computational mechanisms of psychedelics. 🧵

- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhD🧠Out now @natcomms.nature.com ! Brain changes linked to childhood maltreatment are among the field's most published findings. Yet, we find extensive replication failure of gray matter correlates in three large cohorts (N=3225), consistent across subsamples, models and operationalizations🧵

- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDExcited to share our new paper w/ @cibaker.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com linking active vision & memory! We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵1/9
- Decade + long work at UNC here - we longitudinally link prefrontal thickness peaks at 12 months to 8-12 yr working memory performance + activation!

- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDwww.nature.com/articles/s41... Excited to see this out in @natcomms.nature.com today! This paper builds on the lab's work on self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback. We assessed several markers of cortical and cardiac arousal in a pure self-regulation and dual task setting.

- Happy to read @sydneywyatt.bsky.social’s piece on the recent study by @samkrimmelneuro.bsky.social @ndosenbach.bsky.social @gordonneuro.bsky.social re: the human red nucleus I was glad to discuss this great work with Sydney @thetransmitter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/brain-imagin...

- Reposted by Mac Woodburn, PhDIt's shocking how little is known about the brainstem red nucleus. In our new paper “The human brainstem’s red nucleus was upgraded to support goal-directed action” out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show that current thinking on the red nucleus is in need of a serious upgrade. rdcu.be/ehbOy
