"fMRI is well-placed to integrate the diverse subfields of systems, cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience" argue Emily Finn Russ Poldrack Mac Shine in their @nature perspective, (my personal favorite paper in our #SfN2023 special issue) nature.com/articles/s4158…

How can animals learn from rewards across timescales? Our work with Pablo Tano HyungGoo Kim Athar N Malik, MD, PhD Alexandre Pouget @naoshigeuchida explores how dopamine neurons could enable multi-timescale reinforcement learning in the brain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First piece of my postdoc work with Marios Philiastides CCNi_UofGlasgow @UofGPsychNeuro now published in Cell Reports! We offer a spatiotemporal characterisation of outcome valence signals during reward- and punishment -based learning using EEG-fMRI fusion 1/4 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Early🎅present! Honing in on the brainstem w EEG-fMRI during learning in reward vs punishment contexts. Distinct spatiotemporal brainstem patterns converging onto context-ind. & beh-relevant cortical signatures 🧵by Joana Carvalheiro who spearhead this European Research Council (ERC) funded work👇

JOB ALERT! The CCNi at Glasgow University (@UofGPsychNeuro) is searching for a Professor (Chair) of MEG. Closing date: February 12, 2023. For details, check: jobs.ac.uk/job/DEU964/pro… Please Share widely.

How does uncertainty affect learning and what could be the underlying neural mechanisms? Our recent pre-print "Uncertainty-modulated prediction errors in cortical microcircuits" addresses this question: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread 1/7

"The inevitability and superfluousness of cell types in spatial cognition" w Xiaoliang (Ken) Luo Rob Mok Whether place, border, head direction, Jennifer Aniston, or whatever cells, are we fooling ourselves? Are these intuitive findings scientific discoveries? 1/6 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Looking for talented PhD students. Project: the foundations of behavior and intelligence. Come to our Comp Neuro lab in Barcelona to study natural and artificial Intelligence.

"I am a loser." "I am amazing." In depressed and non-depressed patients, OFC responds equally during negative judgments, but OFC responses during positive self-judgments are nearly absent in those with high depression scores! jneurosci.org/content/44/11/…

People living with #Parkinson’s disease use their brains more to stay motivated, a study from UoD Medicine reveals. Patients can create a pathway in their brain to prevent apathy, a common symptom of the illness. buff.ly/43Oxebf

STN serves as the brain's primary pincushion for DBS. But it has important and fascinating functions beyond that. Subthalamic nucleus anatomy and function thread…

Great to see this in print! Long journey but we got there in the end @BalsdonTarryn & @AndreaPisauro. Distinct basal ganglia clusters encode & integrate confidence and explicit feedback to drive perceptual learning CCNi_UofGlasgow @UofGPsychNeuro European Research Council (ERC) nature.com/articles/s4146…

📢Job Alert! We have a 2-year postdoc position to investigate the neural mechanisms of depression, in the context of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, using state-of-the-art brain imaging (7TfMRI-EEG) CCNi_UofGlasgow @UofGPsychNeuro UofG Sii UofG School of Health & Wellbeing jobs.ac.uk/job/DJA346/res…

This study from Balsdon & colleagues explores how confidence is used for learning, both with and without explicit feedback. It's a nice example of the complementary power of simultaneous #EEG-#fMRI to unravel spatiotemporal neural dynamics. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Another most excellent piece from @BalsdonTarryn 👇 We looked at the role of confidence in optimising decision making in dynamic environments (i.e. changes in sensory evidence within individual decisions) - with support from European Research Council (ERC) CCNi_UofGlasgow @UofGPsychNeuro
