Our paper in Nature Comms is now online! Summary below but in short we use living human brain slice cultures in a number of different ways to model dementia processes. Big team effort led by myself, @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social and @clairedurrant1.bsky.social rdcu.be/ej647

π§ Thinking about adding public engagement to your CV?
Itβs a great way to build confidence, skills & career options - but getting started can feel like a mysteryπ€
In our new interview, @beccasue99.bsky.social shares how she got into SciComm during her PhD, and why itβs been a game-changer.
This is a great piece on failure in academia. "βHas the author considered submitting to a smaller, more specialized journal?β Yes, I have." π

What began as a hallway chat at @mrccbu.bsky.social with @idoshal.bsky.social grew to a deep conversation and turned into a BNA insight paper. We explored subjectivity in neuroscience from the voices of ECRs.
Endless thanks, dearest Ido, and Nimrod Hertz @britishneuro.bsky.social
New study out now (doi.org/10.1111/ejn....)! Modelling MEG dynamics with RNNs reveals how reduced inhibition may shape neural signatures in ZDHHC9-linked neurodivergence!π§ π§¬

π¨ New paper π¨
How do people with mental health conditions experience bodily signals, and what are their priorities for interoceptive research?
These questions are what @lydiajhickman.bsky.social and my new paper in eClinicalMedicine tries to answer. 𧡠1/8

I put some introductory #EEG / #MEG videos together, based on our introduction to #neuroimaging at the @mrccbu.bsky.social
: youtube.com/playlist?lis.... They should cover the most common aspects of EEG/MEG analysis, including pre-processing, source estimation and functional connectivity.
