Do Fidem 💙❤️ Today, I graduated from @ox.ac.uk with a DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences! @stedmundhall.bsky.social @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @oxcin.bsky.social @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk

New name, same values! As OxCIN we continue to be: 🤝a team 📢engaged with public, patients & policy 🌈inclusive 🔑open Congrats to this year's winners of our Good Citizen Awards, who went above and beyond to promote positive research culture! www.oxcin.ox.ac.uk/about/vision/culture/good-citizen-awards

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Catharina Zich, Charlotte J. Stagg, et al: Human motor cortical gamma activity relates to GABAergic intracortical inhibition and motor learning doi.org/10.1162/imag...

We proudly present... 🥁 our Associate Directors, who will oversee the 3 pillars of OxCIN: Laurence Hunt (Technological bridges) @lhuntneuro.bsky.social Saad Jbabdi (People & Training) @saadjbabdi.bsky.social Charlotte Stagg (Translation) www.oxcin.ox.ac.uk/about/governance/associate-directors

Associate Directors

Aligned with the three pillars of our mission, our Associate Directors bring their experience and leadership to the Centre.

oxcin.ox.ac.uk

OxCIN's mission to understand the brain and improve health is built on 3 pillars: Building technological bridges Training curious teams Delivering real solutions In the next series of posts we'll take you on a tour of our research and training to show you how we do that!

Yesterday we launched into a new era as the "Oxford Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging" (OxCIN) in the most wholesome and fun day! Really looking forward to seeing where this next stage takes us 👏👏 @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @heidijoberg.bsky.social @fmrib-karla.bsky.social

Great to see this out @mareikegann.bsky.social ! 👏

Dual-site beta transcranial alternating current stimulation during a bimanual coordination task modulates functional connectivity between motor areas https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.04.647211v1

Excited to share our latest preprint on connectivity modulation with dual-site tACS! We show that in-phase tACS at 20 Hz can disrupt fMRI connectivity between the primary motor cortices, but also affects connectivity with other motor regions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Some of my PhD results are now out as a preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We found that baclofen impair motor sequence learning and changes [GABA] dynamics during learning in motor areas

Baclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist, impairs motor learning in healthy people and changes inhibitory dynamics in motor areas

Inhibition mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is implicated in motor plasticity and learning, with [GABA] in the motor cortex decreasing during motor learning. However, the causal relationship bet...

So magical seeing the Magnolia at New College! 🌷☀️

I love my job. The @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk opened its doors to Oxfordshire schools to tell them all about our exciting research. We quickly turned the students into "neurosurgeons" by getting them to "implant" DBS electrodes into jello brains! Our "targets" were strawberries in lieu of thalamic nuclei...

1 BSc, 2 MSc degrees, countless hours of studying, reading, writing, meetings, coding, later... I've gained a new title! I have so many people to thank, but I'd like to thank 🧵

We successfully held our 19th Science Day! Thanks to our brilliant ECRs and alumni speakers Dr PD Dodson (University of Bristol), Dr S Trouche (University of Montpellier), Dr H Cagnan (Imperial College London), and Dr AH Becker (Medtronic)!@ndcnoxford.bsky.social www.mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk/news/unit-sc...

Such a fun and wholesome @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk Winter Science Day at St Hilda's College and @stedmundhall.bsky.social! Thank you for the opportunity to present my recent fMRI work 🧠🩵⚡ @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @neuroplastics.bsky.social @cjstagg.bsky.social
