Long COVID EEG/fNIRS study! "This study aimed to correlate cognitive, neurophysiological, and olfactory function in a group of subjects who experienced acute SARS-CoV-2 infection with persistent hyposmia at least 12 weeks before the observation." Hyposmia is a loss of sense of smell. fNIRS is functional near-infrared spectroscopy, which is a very nifty method.
Some loss of prefrontal activity, but read the whole thing for details!

This is pretty cool--I remember the early RAISE studies in 2008, and I also remember getting an earful from European psychiatrists about how badly the US treats individuals with schizophrenia. Hopefully this means it is actually getting better (within the constraints of our murderous health insurance system, obv)...
"RAISE-ing the Standard of Care for Schizophrenia: The Rapid Adoption of Coordinated Specialty Care in the United States"
#science #neuro this is not a Frontiers paper, but it's a recent paper from the ENIGMA Schizophrenia group that I want to highlight. It was a project aggregating data from around the world that took forever to get going, keep going, and get through, and the key researcher died unexpectedly in March--so finishing it up was a labor in his honor, from his colleagues!
Plus, it's open access.

The editorial for this Research Topic just came out --"Mind over brain, brain over mind: cognitive causes and consequences of controlling brain activity - Volume II " includes seven articles published over the past 12 months.
You can see some examples in the image below--locked-in syndrome, spinal cord injury, intracranial EEG, etc.! How do we decode individuals' neural signals for neuro feedback or brain-computer interfaces?
Huge relief is hearing today that I'm permanently excused from #jury service on medical grounds. I had an unexpected call last week to serve on a jury, but with a #progressive #neuro disease leaving me largely #bedbound and #sleeping up to 18 hours per day I was totally unfit for this. Being in #Scotland I needed a medical letter/certificate from my #GP supporting this. All sorted now, and confirmed today by the #Forfar #court. Thanks so much.

Chuffed managed some #accordion play. Still learning Money, Money, Money by #ABBA. Played on my big Paolo Soprani/Clinkscales 1981 piano accordion. Some fluffs, but I'm pleased with that. And again my right hand control kept up, managing lots of three-note harmonies. My right hand control has been much better since I started learning my new French chromatic button accordion in June. Which is helping recover long-term lost hand control from brain damage from my #neuro illness. #squeezebox #music

#science #neuro This study examined individuals with and without insomnia, looking at the prevalence of childhood trauma and shame coping styles.
It was a small study so it's hardly definitive until replicated/generalized, but it's an interesting approach! The final model below shows adverse childhood experiences affect insomnia severity and the dACC response to shameful memories, but doesn't actually relate to shame coping. (But if you look at hyperarousal...)

It's Day 3 of #SciArtSeptember, and the morning of SF Zine Fest. Since I'm feeling a little nervous, it makes sense that I share one of my Generative Nerve artworks.

But recently, I've been experimenting with ink infused aluminum, and darker backgrounds work great on that.

A woman with paralysis speaks through a digital avatar after 18 years.
Brain-computer interfacing #BCI is an incredible field and one I've always been interested in. I can't believe how far it has come in the last 10 years.
I can't imagine the pain of being trapped, silent and aware, for that long. Hopefully this tech helps her find some happiness, and others who can benefit from it as well!
Going back a ways, this is an opinion piece from 2017, with V.S. Ramachandran as senior author (he's authored many famous books about human neuroscience!). It's an easy read, trying to use the mirror neuron system together with sleep paralysis to pull together a common explanation for out of body experiences and the sense that "there's someone in the room!" when there isn't.
Always fun! Mirror neurons aren't the hot topic they used to be, though.

#science #neuro Woot!! And it's open access, so have fun... I particularly like the image below because the ENIGMA groups are world-wide (heavily Caucasian but not completely), and the COCORO datasets are Japan-only, but the case-control results are beautifully replicated in general order of effect size for schizophrenia; less closely for the other disorders but still very similar. The most important thing was the diagnosis-free clustering on the volumes!
#science #neuro you know how a week's vacation goes by so fast? 😉 Just kidding, but this recent meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies of different experiments testing timing perception identified the left supplemental motor area (SMA) and bilateral insula as key areas. They used BrainMap so it's a limited view of the literature, but the results are pretty cool! and they do a nice job in the discussion--worth the read. 😁 🧠

Coming back from a different country where I don’t speak the language I’m contemplating how wonderfully mundane all the conversation around me is. Such a different experience if you don’t understand- can be disorienting even. Remember for visitors here!
Happy to share that the book #iEEG - a guide for #cog #neuro edited by my supervisor Nikolai Axmacher is now published: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-20910-9
Many great scientists from the field contributed and the result is an extensive collection covering essentially all relevant basic and advanced topics of invasive #Electrophysiology research in humans. Wish this existed when i started m phd, but good its here now anyways
Since it's #SciArtPortfolioWeek, I'm sharing a piece from one of my all time favorite #SciArt series: "Generative Nerves"
I first started creating these, with code, over 10 years ago, and I come back to it again and again.
Digging out my schoolgirl #French to email #accordion makers #Maugein to tell them how phenomenally the new chromatic box #CBA seems to be helping my hand control generally, fighting my #neuro cerebral #vasculitis. 250 ish French words later and all done. It's a marvel how much French language I remember, even if I have to check a few words here and there. But I can write 90% of it in one go. Higher French in 1988/9 at #Hawick High #School was a very long time ago. #LanguageLearning #squeezebox
In response to a few questions people have asked:
We used whole-cell patch-clamp #electrophysiology to record the activity of single #neurons.
The "resist changes" refers to #neuroplasticity. We found a reduction in long-term depression, or #LTD, in adult mice after high frequency stimulus (HFS) compared to adolescent mice.
These cells are specifically #GABA releasing cells in the ventral tegmental area (#VTA ), where GABA can regulate dopamine release throughout the #brain.

#science #neuro That vagus nerve just keeps showing up as being an important moderator of various processes! In this study, people hospitalized for recent heart failure got vagus nerve stimulation (it's a little buzzer on your ear lobe), and it seems to have an effect on heart function, unlike in the sham group. The idea that buzzing on your earlobe can affect your heart response still knocks me over, but it's a common mechanism used in studying vagal nerve stim.

#science #neuro There have been quite a few studies arguing that reduced white matter in various areas of the brain is related to the development of PTSD. This group examined people who came in for traumatic injuries, gave them a scan, and followed up 6 months later to see who had developed PTSD (I'm oversimplifying!). Only weak relationships with white matter measures were found, but see what you think!! They are careful to not overstate their case.

Explain it like I’m five.
“This new study demonstrates that the dopamine system helps the brain to anticipate the occurrence and duration of unpleasant events, but without taking prediction errors into account.” https://neurosciencenews.com/dopamine-aversive-event-21824/

@kendmiller @PessoaBrain @NicoleCRust @kordinglab Here's a proposal: What if we simply agreed to always started such threads with #neuro[TOPIC], so like #neuromanifolds, #neurolearning, etc.?
#Neuro +/- #Science +/- #Fiction
...is the blog's tagline, so by way of an explanation and an #intro here's some recent/popular posts, starting with the most recent:
A little #Neuroscience #history on the development of brain 'imaging'
I see what you did there…a (very) brief history of imaging and the brain: EEG and MEG
Hello. Twitter transplant here, not sure if I'll be here for good but mostly having my feet in different boats for the time-being so I can keep up with #neuro discourse on all fronts.
So, #introduction Let's see.. I'm a Sri Lankan psych. undergrad. from Cardiff Metropolitan. currently working on my honors thesis (mortality salience & TMT) and looking to graduate in summer after which I'm hoping to move on to postgrad, ideally PhD tracks. Most of the topics that interest me seem to revolve around the intersection of neurogenetics and evolutionary developmental biology, particularly within the context of language development and other forms of signalling from a game theory perspective as well. I hope as time goes by before the next academic cycle, that I'll be able to narrow down into specific niches to operationalise into proper research areas for postgrad programs.
I also work in a lab at the Department of Zoology at the University of Peradeniya, where most of my work mostly revolves around the genomics behind the disease ecology of vector-borne parasites and their behavioral ecology of their hosts and other neglected tropical diseases.
As far as myself as a person, I also work with moderate to severe prosopagnosia. I don't really have any interests worth mentioning outside of academia besides reading SF, watching animated series and feature lengths, being a climate collapsenik, long hikes to help me think or sometimes, unthink and working out to wear down unwarranted cortisol spikes. I've also got four cats and I'll be sure to show them off for imaginary clout when the moment arises.
P.S. - I'm currently looking for recommendations on complexity theory, anything you'd consider required reading, from books to papers—any of your favorite pieces, I'd really appreciate the suggestions.
Hi #neurodon! I want to learn more about experiments in rodents about model free vs model based behavior. Any suggestions for great papers/reviews on this broad topic would be appreciated! #neuro #neuroscience
