Are you interested in the thalamus, or are you still waiting to discover that you are (these are the only two options)? It is a great pleasure to announce our workshop on the 12-13th January 2026. uobevents.eventsair.com/emerging-tec... @thechbh.bsky.social #neuroscience

New layer-fMRI preprint using simultaneous layer-fMRI with EEG at 7T. Establishing an acquisition and analysis setup to capture layer-fMRI correlates of spontaneous alpha power variations. By Marsh et al. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.
So this happened, it's wonderful to get local recognition for the work we put into our little shop, it's been a crazy 2025 so far and we're not done yet! #VivaStirchley #VivaBrum #ShopIndependent #MadeInBirmingham🐂

Good to see everyone is still able to maintain there attention towards the end of the first day of the fMRS symposium at Bangor Uni.
The 2nd Bangor fMRS symposium kicked off tonight, with a welcome dinner in Bwyd da Bangor. A good start I think.
Check out our latest paper.. - A simple view of the ageing effect across the full spectrum and the whole head - Spectra of effect sizes - Covariates can change effect size - Replication! We hope this facilitates synthesis of results across a rich and varied literature of age effects #neuroskyence
Robust and replicable effects of ageing on resting state brain electrophysiology measured with MEG. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.01.668093v1
Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics. Open access: doi.org/10.1111/jnp....
Mildred Cohn was born 112 years ago today. In the middle of the 20th century she pioneered the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to probe the chemical processes governing the storage and release of energy in ATP. Here is her story! tinyurl.com/3xn9hhs2 #WomenInSTEM #ChemSky #HistSci 🧪
From ATP to MRI: Mildred Cohn's Pioneering Work in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
ATP is the stuff of life. Without it, cell communication shuts down, muscles freeze, and anything requiring ready energy (which is to say, darn near everything) stops. For biologists, it's a critica...

New paper showing a key component of the glutamate-glutamine cycle. NTT4 (SLC6A17) supplies Gln for the presynaptic production of Glu. Needed to sustain rapid ongoing excitatory synaptic transmission and has roles in memory formation and other behaviours. doi.org/10.1016/j.pneurobio.2025.102785
