The Journal of Neuroscience: 46 (8)

Very excited to share a Special Collection at the Journal of Neuroscience (@sfnjournals.bsky.social) - Central Questions for Social Neuroscience Research. This issue includes some of the latest perspectives on social neuroscience research. Please check it out!👇

"Speaking: The Free Book" has migrated to vitpia.github.io/speaking/ The only true, freely available textbook for teaching and learning more about language **production** (which tends to get neglected in textbooks on "language"). Chapters written by experts in the field. New chapter expected soon!

That said, null findings in an HD-tDCS study, as well as the null findings from the Liebrand study, where the montage was adapted to focally target M1 with two electrodes, sound more convincing to me, but those are just my two cents :)

Many possible reasons: Electrode size, current intensity, stim duration, online/offline; experimenter bias, p-hacking, publication bias. I'm not saying that your study is wrong and the others are right, I just wonder why this obvious confound isn't avoided if you want to modulate M1 excitability.

Important work, but why did you put the return electrode over Fp2? By now we know from simulation work that this type of montage induces a massive E-field essentially covering the entire (pre)frontal cortex, which could potentially mask actual effects.

New chapter on sentence production in "Speaking: The Free Book" bookdown.org/v_piai_resea... beautifully written by @drlearnasaurus.bsky.social Go check, very useful resource for free (!) for teaching & initiating folks on topic of language production (usually missing from textbooks on "language"!)

*cries in cerebellum*

Fail them. Going to a NiN concert and not getting that reference is shameful.

Nice pants though.

New paper from our lab, in which we propose a resting-state aggression network including the cerebellum, hypothalamus, centromedial amygdala and subgenual ACC. Fun project and last paper of @elze.bsky.social 's PhD! 🎉

Psycholinguistic Databases, Stimuli, Utilities — Concepts & Cognition Laboratory

Updated our lab's psycholinguistic database page to include Kathy Rastle et al's new web interface for the Children and Young Peoples Books Lexicon (CYP-LEX). Check it out! Give me a holler if you want us to link to your dataset or know of others I've missed. www.reilly-coglab.com/data
