Neuroscience | Volume 26 | 2025 Researchers at the University of Rochester are advancing transdisciplinary approaches to better understand, predict, and treat chronic pain. Paul Geha, MD, who was a recent guest on the Neuroscience P...

Over 50M Americans suffer from chronic pain, but we still rely on a 0–10 scale

@urmed.bsky.social & Eastman Dental researchers are changing that by studying brain structure, pain modulation, & biomarkers #URochesterResearch 👇 @paulgeha.bsky.social

Millisecond Windows of Time May Be Key to How We Hear, Study Finds What happens when you listen to speech at a different speed? Neuroscientists thought that your brain may turn up its processing speed as well. But it turns out that at least the auditory part of the b...

“This was surprising. It turns out that when you slow down a word, the auditory cortex doesn't change the time window it is processing. It's like the auditory cortex is integrating across this fixed time scale.” #URochesterResearch

Temporal integration in human auditory cortex is predominantly yoked to absolute time - Nature Neuroscience Temporal integration throughout the human auditory cortex is predominantly locked to absolute time and does not vary with the duration of speech structures such as phonemes or words.

What happens when you listen to speech a different speeds? Does your brain change its processing speed too? It turns out, no

@zuckermanbrain.bsky.social found the auditory part of the brain keeps clocking in at a fixed time

Human auditory cortex integrates information in speech across absolute time (e.g., 200 ms), not phonemes, syllables, words, or any other time-varying speech structure: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The one very important consistency over all these years is that state-of-the-art treatment for chronic pain is multidisciplinary... This treatment approach reflects the fact that chronic pain is almost always a truly biopsychosocial condition. Robert Dworkin, PhD, Professor of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Neurology, and the Center for Health + Technology

It's critical in chronic pain research & treatment to consider & treat the whole patient. This approach dates back to the 1970s when Dr George Engel conceptualized the biopsychosocial model @urmed.bsky.social

“Thank god for IVF so I could get pregnant”

“Actually god made you infertile, science made you pregnant.

So it’s thank science actually”

Communicating ideas with other scientists is an essential part of doing science.

At conferences, you talk about what you're doing, present at posters/talks, and hear feedback. That process refines & improves yr thoughts.

Conferences and seminars are vital for science progress.

Distinct audio and visual accumulators co-activate motor preparation for multisensory detection - Nature Human Behaviour Egan et al. examine multisensory evidence accumulation and show that auditory and visual evidence is accumulated in distinct processes during multisensory detection, and cumulative evidence in the two modalities sub-additively co-activates a single, thresholded motor process.

In this article, Egan et al. examine multisensory evidence accumulation and show that evidence in two modalities sub-additively co-activate a single, thresholded motor process.

Check out our new multisensory decision study!
We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two?
A1: co-activation
A2: two!
