Finally, we found that lower complexity is linked to lower age and better cognitive and motor performance. We take this as a sign that a higher capacity for complexity drops may represent a behaviorally relevant and beneficial aspect of brain function.

Baby brains 2.0! Delighted to present our work OHBM on brain shape #complexity in human newborns from DevelopingConnectome. Find #OHBM2023 poster 2331 for a chat on how individual #brain shape strongly reflects #genetic similarity between any two neonates, enabling twin predictions.

Huge collaborative preclinical stroke study from our dpt!

PLUS all this, at our satellite meeting on 4th December, including a datablitz session and a talk on how to get your grant/fellowship, aimed at early career researchers. See you there!

Find out the topics and speakers for the 2023 Encephalitis Conference. We have a packed two days planned for anyone who wants to join us online or at @RCPvenue in #London in December. To read the programme and book your tickets, visit 👇 bit.ly/46fUv67

What happens when the body attacks its own #brain?! Check out #ohbm2024 poster 514 (Mo/Tue) on autoimmune #encephalitis (AE) where we show that cognitive impairment in a subtype of AE is linked to a reorganization of the brain's white matter #network. Great to be OHBM in #Seoul!

We’re excited to share our latest work on dynamic predictive templates and hallucinations, published today in Current Biology! (cell.com/current-biolog…)

High prevalence of overlap between NMDAR #encephalitis & #MultipleSclerosis 👉 12% in GENERATE NMDARE cohort 👉 high frequency of central vein sign in lesions of overlap patients 👉 clinical, CSF, and genetic findings to follow Presented by fabulous Joseph Kuchling #ECTRIMS2024

🌉 As 2024 ends, I am concluding my postdoc at Stanford University in Nima Aghaeepour's lab. I am deeply grateful for the supportive community that made all of this possible, and for colleagues who became friends and mentors who shaped my scientific path.

New paper in Brain: Healthy people under S-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist, and people living with schizophrenia, a disorder associated with NMDAR hypofunction, spend more time in an external mode of perception - where noisy sensory signals override knowledge about the world.

Although anti-LGI1 encephalitis is traditionally viewed as a form of “limbic” encephalitis, this study characterizes it as a global “network disorder” that affects both limbic and extralimbic brain systems: hubs.la/Q0355v3V0 #NeuroTwitter #NeuroX

Congrats to Thomas on winning best oral presentation at the Danish Neurological Society annual meeting 🧠🧠🧠 Presenting nation-wide data on very long term outcomes in autoimmune encephalitis

Hohe Wirksamkeit, wenig Nebeneffekte: Eine neuartige Zelltherapie, entwickelt von Forschenden #CharitéBerlin, soll schwere Form der autoimmunen Gehirnentzündung künftig behandelbar machen.

This study assessed the presence of central vein sign (CVS) in T2-hyperintense pediatric-onset MS (POMS) lesions via SWI at 1.5T MRI. Findings show CVS is frequently detectable in POMS, consistent with the “40% cutoff rule” & Select6* criteria in adult MS: hubs.la/Q03CcQ-80
