Herpes zoster vaccination eligibility reduced the probability of new dementia diagnoses, suggesting its potential preventive effect. https://ja.ma/4lagSB6

Autism is associated with inflexibility of brain dynamics. Watanabe and Yamasue show that TMS over the right superior parietal lobule while the brain is ‘stuck’ in a certain state reduces this rigidity and relieves various autistic traits. @takamitsuw.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A paper in Nature reports the discovery of a new species of tyrannosauroid — the group of dinosaurs that includes Tyrannosaurus rex. This discovery sheds new light on the evolution of wider tyrannosaur species. go.nature.com/4jM0KVo #Paleosky 🧪

Evidence in support of the "Brain from the inside out": Response to movies is dominated by intrinsic brain dynamics. The dynamic itself is barely alternatered by the task of watching movies. Human intracranial recordings from 5000 electrodes, now out in eLife. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Huge congrats to @adeelrazi.bsky.social @leonovelli.bsky.social and team on this monumental achievement - a valuable open resource for the community!

Several postdoc positions are still open in the lab. fMRI or EEG experience is desirable but strong Matlab/python expertise would be also appreciated as itself. Anyway, please contact me if you’re interested!

The IIT debate-debacle (also sometimes referred to as the "Consciousness Wars") continues with this letter: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Followed by a response by several IIT proponents: www.nature.com/articles/s41... And a rejoinder(?) by Gomez-Marin & Seth: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Synthetic biologists discuss with Nature why it’s so hard to write a genome. “We underestimated how complex biology is.” 🧪 🧬

It is with great sadness that we announce the recent death of award-winning researcher and colleague Prof Eleanor Maguire. Prof. Maguire was a cognitive neuroscientist at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology for more than 30 years. bit.ly/40fjpBk

Happy to share my recent career update in academia: full professor @ IRCN UTokyo. Thank you, the tenure committee and the apparently anonymous seniors who wrote reference letters in their busy times! PS. We’re still looking for a project assistant professor (≈senior post doc)!!
