How does the frontoparietal network encode information from auditory and visual tasks? Jade Jackson et al show it encodes rule information in both, with the same neural resources, but it does so using modality dependent non generalisable codes: doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a…

To my surprise, our Nature Reviews Neuroscience review on the Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Inhibitory Control of Thought has landed on the cover! Cover art below! For an "explainer thread", see our earlier tweet. MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit #memory #ptsd x.com/Memory_Control…

Loic Menzies (CRO The Centre for Education Systems) chairs a panel on mental health & neurodiversity in young people. Expert insights from Prof Duncan Astle, Prof Professor Tamsin Ford 💙 & Charlotte Kume-Holland (Department of Health and Social Care) #sciencepolicy #csapconference2025

Was lovely to do this interview with WiNUK: Women in Neuroscience UK 🧠 🥰 Hopefully some useful tips on engaging with #scicomm but the main one is... just do it!! You are an expert (whether you believe it or not 😉) so get out there and get talking!

New opinion paper linking the brain’s DMN response to cognitive transitions during narratives and task-switching; by Ashley Zhou, John Duncan and Daniel Mitchell (Dan Mitchell): doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Jackson et al conducted an interslice TMS-fMRI protocol to assess the minimum time required between TMS pulses and MR slices to avoid MR signal loss and show a TMS frequency of up to 10 Hz is possible: doi.org/10.1016/j.jneu…

New research tracks how empathic disequilibrium, the balance between emotional and cognitive empathy, shifts from age 3-12: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

CBU researchers led a worldwide community consensus on the challenging but powerful combination of brain stimulation with neuroimaging using TMS-fMRI: nature.com/articles/s4159…

New results! We tested 3 control conditions for rh-TMS entrainment and showed ar-TMS performs best (matching sensory without inducing oscillatory effects). Also explored how rh-TMS/ar-TMS/sham-TMS differentially impact Oscillatory and Aperiodic activity! brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
