Neural Signatures of Flexible Temporal Orienting under Spatial and Motor Uncertainty

Abstract. The goal-dependent use of temporal expectations enhances visual performance, even without concurrent spatial or motor predictions, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. To ide...

„Potential mechanisms and functional significance of aperiodic neural activity“ Timely review article by Michael Preston Jr, @syd-smith.bsky.social & Brad Voytek

Potential mechanisms and functional significance of aperiodic neural activity

This article gives me hope: trust in science isn’t lost, and both scientists and the public want deeper connection. How do we build it? My favorite way is through real conversations that humanize science and make public funding transparent and accessible. What's yours?

The Kavli Foundation@kavlifoundation.org · 6mo ago

Trust in science is getting attention, including at #AAASmtg. The 'war on science' isn't what many assume. The Kavli Sparks program gathered scientists to examine data on public sentiment on science and science funding, challenging assumptions. Learn more: bit.ly/4kTLBDK

What makes some melodies feel "right" and others totally "off"? We have an intuitive affinity for some musical scales over others, like Bobby McFerrin shows here (youtu.be/ne6tB2KiZuk?...). Check out @omriraccah.bsky.social's paper - a clever collision of psychology and music - to learn more.

This is a fascinating study dissecting the degree to which functional connectivity in EEG is driven by aperiodic activity instead of oscillations -- how robust are connectivity findings in a frequency band (theta, alpha) when oscillations are not omni-present? www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Functional connectivity is dominated by aperiodic, rather than oscillatory, coupling

Functional connectivity (FC) has attracted significant interest in the identification of specific circuits underlying brain (dys-)function. Classical analyses to estimate FC ( i.e ., filtering electro...

Changes in cognition are some of the first noticeable symptoms of mental health conditions like depression. This study is a roadmap for neuroscientists and clinicians looking to personalize psychiatric interventions and identify where cognitive deficits and diagnostic symptoms overlap in the brain.

AJ Simon@ayejaysimon.bsky.social · 11mo ago

New preprint alert! We used connectome-based predictive modeling in a transdiagnostic sample to identify brain network correlates of wide array of behavioral measures. We also identify where networks supporting cognition overlap with those linked to diagnostically related clinical symptomatology.

We need multimodal data 💯 current frameworks overlook that single-nuclei transcriptomics reveals over 50 distinct inhibitory subtypes with potentially different contributions to circuit function throughout the lifespan! My research aims to relate these macro-scale measures to microcircuits 🙏
