Our latest out now in @natneuro.nature.com led by @trangcao.bsky.social looking at the reproducibility of MRI morphometry phenotypes in psychiatric disorders. Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thread: x.com/TrangCao2016...

The cross-site reproducibility of MRI morphometric phenotypes in psychiatric disorders - Nature Neuroscience

A large analysis of MRI studies in five psychiatric disorders reveals that maps of brain volume differences in psychiatric illness are rarely reproducible, highlighting the need for alternative approa...

If an action results in error, each neuron requires an individualized teaching signal that guides change in its output. This is the credit assignment problem of learning. Are there neurons in the brain that can compute such a sophisticated teaching signal? Yes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Climbing fibers encode the gradient of a loss function for the cerebellum

Neurons in the brain are often many synapses away from motoneurons, yet if a movement results in error, each distant neuron needs a teacher that considers its specific contribution to production of th...

Compositional recombination is facilitated by a distributed cortico-cerebellar network

Compositional recombination is facilitated by a distributed cortico-cerebellar network

Tan et al. demonstrate that flexible human cognition relies on two distinct neural processes: specialized brain regions that handle specific task components, and a distributed cortico-cerebellar network that recombines these components. This finding indicates that the cortico-cerebellar network serves an important role in coordinating complex, generalized cognition across different contexts.

"Replay occurs in the dorsal striatum during offline consolidation of a procedural memory in mice" - even with total hippocampal lesions pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42493550/ It looks like memory replay is a general capability of the brain - not a special feature of the hippocampus!

New preprint! We show low arousal states promote hippocampal ripple genesis in sleep and wake. This bridges rodent work, where ripples predominate during sleep, with human studies reporting ripples during active behavior, identifying low arousal as a common mechanism www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

I am recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student, funded by a new ERC grant. The grant focuses on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception, using 7T fMRI (hippocampal subfields, cortical layers) and MEG+iEEG. The intended start dates for both positions are in early 2027. 🧠🟦 1/3

New preprint alert! doi.org/10.64898/202... Throughout life, we are often told to persist in the pursuit of our long term goals. However, the most important factor to consider in the real world for whether to continue pursuit or abandon one's goal is knowing how much progress you are making.

Our first Impact Factor is 3.0 — an important milestone for a new journal. As with most new journals, the first IF is affected by the smaller publication volume in the launch year. Latest citation data are encouraging, and the journal’s IF is set to rise in 2027.
