Exciting news! Our latest paper is now published 🎉 We dive into the fear generalization literature to see how individual fear gen profiles are typically quantified, extracted the most commonly used measures, and compared them using simulated and empirical data: doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...

Noradrenergic activation of the BLA promotes the formation of discrete memories of similar events that were experienced close in time, via a miR-134-regulated consolidation process within the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This took a WHILE but here it is!! The last part of my PhD work is now published @commsbio.nature.com 🕊 We uncovered the temporal and spatial context that define the mTL's role in fear processing. Huge thank you to my co-authors, reviewers, editors, and participants 💖 rdcu.be/exQKb

Last lecture of the summer term: Check ✅

1. Kevin Gross and I just posted a new science-of-science preprint. This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.

We are looking for a Postdoc who loves fMRI, psychophysiology and data analysis 🎉. We run studies on social cognition and related processes with a focus on schizophrenia. German skills could be beneficial, bc the position involves teaching, but not mandatory. stellen.uni-konstanz.de/jobposting/4...

WOW, what a journey! Finally, our new paper is published in the Journal of Personality Assessment! 🥳 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Happy 30th birthday year to SPM!! 🎈🍰 To get the party started, we are delighted to announce SPM 25.01, a major new version of the open-source neuroimaging software. Read the preprint to discover what's new arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12081 and download SPM for free from Github github.com/spm/spm/rele...

I am now officially part of the Bielefeld conspiracy (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefe...). It exists. Thank you @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social for hosting me!

come work with @stresscognition.bsky.social , @anjariesel.bsky.social , @nicoschuck.bsky.social @christianbuchel.bsky.social, @janhaaker.bsky.social as well as Tania Lincoln, Tobias Donner, Sarah Hohmann, Simone Kühn, Jürgen Gallinat and a bunch of brilliant students!

Welcome @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social ! 👋

An absolute MUST READ for anyone doing task-related connectivity analyses w fMRI data. So many good things in here! 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Prior knowledge changes sensory processing in the spinal cord?! 🤯 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #neuroskyence

It’s a Preprint! 👋 We show how we can dissociate perceptual from value-based mechanisms of generalisation + that stronger gen. in anxiety is associated with value rather than perception. w/ @ondrejzika.bsky.social @nicoschuck.bsky.social @bernhardspitzer.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n

I am very late to the party, but can we talk about the absolute LEGEND patchwork by @thomasp85.com?! I have two plots, one with a hidden y axis (it's the same for both plots). But the plot area will greedily take up the space freed up by the axis, so it appears larger in cowplot's plot_grid(). 1/4

Curious about how altered fear & safety learning contribute to anxiety, OCD, and PTSD? Check out our new meta-analysis on startle response, self-report, and SCR in fear conditioning! Together with Franziska Kausche, @hpcrstn.bsky.social & Kim Sobania. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
