Review: 85% of 27.5k participants rated sleep as important/ very important for brain health. But the evidence for a causal role of sleep is surprisingly weak relative to the amount of attention to sleep in science and society. Kristine B Walhovd LCBC - UiO journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

Enjoyable read in Brain by Tom Pollak against "inflammatory reductionism" in psychiatry, and in favour of ‘tolerance of ambiguity’ - the extent to which an individual can cope without certainty. academic.oup.com/brain/article/…

Great opportunity 👇

New paper: neural segregation in development & dedifferentiation in aging associate with memory. Within & between-network FC during encoding and retrieval, 2 samples, 7-82 years, n=734, using a multiverse approach. Lead by Håkon Grydeland 👏 LCBC - UiO sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Really interesting preprint from Maxwell Elliott et al: 1-year brain changes reliably detected by cluster-scanning - burst of multiple, very short T1's. Great potential for tracking individual differences in brain change over clinically meaningful intervals. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is the coolest preprint I have been a (small) part of: twins cybercycling in virtual reality to demonstrate how early and later environmental influences on the cortex can be distinguished and modified LCBC - UiO Kristine B Walhovd biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We find hippocampal correlates of superior episodic memory are the same across adulthood - we don't find evidence that special hippocampal features are important in aging across memory activity, macrostructure, microstructure and atrophy. LCBC - UiO rdcu.be/edvSC

Preprint from Didac Vidal Pineiro - a common brain factor underlying memory decline in older age. Stronger associations in older, but independent of genetic Alzheimer risk. Very interesting work using >10.000 MRI scan. LCBC - UiO biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did you know that different prenatal environment causes MZ twins' brains to deviate? But when exposed to cognitive intervention in adulthood, common genetics make their brains converge while DZ twin brains become more different. Fascinating! LCBC - UiO biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very interesting from Didac Vidal Pineiro - MUCH higher reliability for structural neuroimaging measures with longer follow-up time rather than more follow-ups or higher n. 2.-year follow-up requires 4 times higher n than 6-year follow up. LCBC - UiO direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d…

Very nice in pnas - people who slept closer to their own culture's norms for sleep duration had better overall health. Sleep duration is more complex than often considered in a strict neuroscientific or biomedical sense. Christine Ou Steven Heine pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Very happy to have been a small part of this 👇

Very nice and interesting work on how to achieve accurate estimates in inhibitory control tasks.
