I study how mechanical forces influence brain function and health, bridging disciplines across cognitive neuroscience, memory, navigation, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, population coding & anatomy. Committed to interdisciplinary research.

The fact that a drug can dissociate neuronal from BOLD-based measures of connectivity is a powerful example for the non-linear relationship between spikes and fMRI-BOLD.

The Hidden Cost of Human Evolution: Why Our Brains May Be Vulnerable to Age-Related Degeneration What if the traits that make us uniquely human—our large brains and upright posture—also make us vulnerable to neurodegenerative diseases? Our new research tests this and suggests that a common aspect...

Fascinating study that suggests that the origin of AD-related tau pathology is mechanical stress caused by anatomical architecture www.linkedin.com/pulse/hidden... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Creative experiences and brain clocks - Nature Communications Creative experiences such as dance, music, drawing, and strategy video games might preserve brain health. The authors show that regular practice or short training in these activities is linked to brains that look younger and work more efficiently.

fMRI_EPI_KspaceAcquisition_short This is a demonstration of how a single slice of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is collected. Before this makes any sense, you will need to understand…

Nice demo by Mark Lescroart @neuromdl.bsky.social on EPI imaging of a single #fMRI slice. Great for teaching! :)

Principles of neocortical organisation and behaviour in primates One sentence summary The study of brain MRI from 70 different primate species reveals a fundamental principle of neocortical organisation and behaviour driven by mechanical morphogenesis. The develop...

Fascinating prepring showing that mechanically-driven brain folding may determine behavior more than genetics across primate species www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
