Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics.

From ATP to MRI: Mildred Cohn's Pioneering Work in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ATP is the stuff of life.  Without it, cell communication shuts down, muscles freeze, and anything requiring ready energy (which is to say, darn near everything) stops.  For biologists, it's a critica...

Mildred Cohn was born 112 years ago today. In the middle of the 20th century she pioneered the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to probe the chemical processes governing the storage and release of energy in ATP. Here is her story!

New paper showing a key component of the glutamate-glutamine cycle. NTT4 (SLC6A17) supplies Gln for the presynaptic production of Glu. Needed to sustain rapid ongoing excitatory synaptic transmission and has roles in memory formation and other behaviours.

Steady‐state free precession for T2* relaxometry: All echoes in every readout with k‐space aliasing Purpose Multi-echo gradient echo imaging is useful for a range of applications including relaxometry, susceptibility mapping, and quantifying relative proportions of fat and water. This relies prima...

I’m very excited to share our latest paper, out today!

TL;DR: we measure all images of a multi-echo gradient echo acquisition *simultaneously* and in *every readout*

New paper showing how regularisation improves the accuracy of 1H MRS spectral fitting. Using simulated data, we show our new approach (ABfit-reg) offers improved accuracy (~ %10) over the "gold-standard" LCModel method. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @thechbh.bsky.social #ISMRM #MRI #MRS

🧠 Excited to share our new preprint! 🧠 Check it out and let us know what you think! 👀✨

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.

Beautiful.

Happy to have been involved with this really cool paper, and a new way to investigate fMRS data from Maria Morelli and Martin Wilson. With @martinw3141.bsky.social, @kdudzikowska.bsky.social, @ajquinn.bsky.social, and @brainapps.bsky.social

Proud to have our first fMRS study from @thechbh.bsky.social published with Maria, @kdudzikowska.bsky.social, Dinesh, @ajquinn.bsky.social, @pgmm03.bsky.social, @brainapps.bsky.social :) Looking forward to making further developments towards fMRS becoming a popular tool for measuring brain activity.
