🧠 Congrats @felixklaassen.bsky.social with this unique DBS case study targeting the midbrain PAG. Direct PAG stimulation (and not a bordering control region) induces threat-specific bradycardia ❤️ @devoogdld.bsky.social @anneloeshulsman.bsky.social & co-authors www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Stimulation of the human periaqueductal gray induces threat bradycardia: a case report

The ability to recognize and anticipate potential danger is crucial for survival across species. The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) is implicated in regulating threat-anticipatory responses, in...

🧠 What makes threat memories so hard to forget? 🐍😱 Using focused ultrasound we provide causal evidence that the human amygdala drives rapid threat learning 🐍⚡ and determines how resistant those memories become to subsequent extinction 🐍🚫 🆕📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The human amygdala in threat learning and extinction

Ultrasonic neuromodulation of the human amygdala provides causal evidence for its role in forming persistent threat memories.

Gepest worden maakt je niet sterker: het kan diepe sporen nalaten

Olympisch schaatskampioene Antoinette Rijpmade Jong wil een voorbeeld zijn voor mensen die zijn gepest. Wat een ander vindt, moet je aan de kant schuiven, zei ze. Want gepest worden heeft tot ver na je schooltijd impact. Hoe leef je verder na dat trauma

Honderden wetenschappers willen minder salarisverhoging

Hoogleraar Laura Batstra en ruim duizend collega’s willen hun salarisverhoging voortaan liever in euro’s dan in procenten. Dat is eerlijker voor collega’s in lagere salarisschalen.

Super proud of @felixklaassen.bsky.social for his new paper on the neurocomputational link between defensive freezing and approach-avoidance arbritation under threat: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The neurocomputational link between defensive cardiac states and approach-avoidance arbitration under threat - Communications Biology

A human fMRI study shows that defensive cardiac states moderate the neural computations of reward and threat value underlying approach-avoidance arbitration.

Hi Bluesky! My lab is recruiting a grad student and a postdoc (for the postdoc we’re amassing some neat fMRI data that needs an analyst 👀). Visit our website for more info on our openings and to learn more about the LUMeNaries: scholarblogs.emory.edu/lumenlab/get...

I’m thrilled to share our new study examining how memories take shape under emotional contexts! Using custom musical pieces and a novel affect-tracking tool, we demonstrate that emotion dynamics (especially valence) shape the content and structure of episodic memory. rdcu.be/doK9K
