#neuroskyence

We are excited to kick off a series introducing the brilliant minds leading the research in NC. Each of these PI's have an extensive experience in the study of #neuroskyence and showcase the variety of research conducted in our unit. Stay tuned! @satupalva.bsky.social @uhbrain.bsky.social

Last week our PI's gathered for an overnight retreat at the Hotel Nuuksio to discuss future strategy, work wellbeing and many other important themes. Despite the packed schedule, they found time to relax and get to know each other better.

Check out our publication in JNeurosci with Matias Palva & Fernando Maestu. We show that shifts in brain criticality and excitability predict Alzheimer's dementia progression and allow classification of the early stage dementia www.jneurosci.org/content/45/9...

This image is a congratulatory social media post from FIMM. The background features a vibrant bouquet of wildflowers in a ceramic vase, set on a wooden surface. The main text states, "The Finnish Cultural Foundation has granted funding for several FIMM researchers." Below this, in larger, bolder text, it reads, "WARM CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GRANT RECIPIENTS!" Names of the grantees are listed: Sari Aaltonen & Paula Iso-Markku, Yingjia Chen, Michaela Feodoroff, Nemo Ikonen, Anil Kumar & Yuotidip Barman, Heikki Kuusanmäki.

Last week, the Finnish Cultural Foundation @skr.fi awarded €29 million to science, research, and the arts. We are proud of all our grantees and want to express our warmest congratulations to each of them, as well as our gratitude to the foundation for their valuable support!
