New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Ioana-Florentina Grigoras, Charlotte J. Stagg, et al: Baclofen, a GABAb receptor agonist, impairs motor learning in healthy people and changes inhibitory dynamics in motor areas doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

New paper out in @imagingneurosci.bsky.social! 🎉 We found that baclofen, a GABAB receptor agonist, leads to impairments in motor learning in healthy people and blunting of the expected GABA decrease during learning @oxcin.bsky.social @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk @ndcnoxford.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

📣 We're hiring! 📣 Research Assistant in Sleep and Stroke Rehabilitation The Plasticity Lab are looking for a research assistant who will carry out studies investigating sleep, motor learning and recovery in healthy adults and people with brain injury. Details and application: shorturl.at/fgdm7

Paper alert: our study using a novel ultrasound stimulation device to precisely target deep brain nuclei is out in Nature Communications @ndcnoxford.bsky.social @oxcin.bsky.social @mrcbndu.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk @ucl.ac.uk www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌍 OxCIN Global Scholars: apply by June 30th! 🌎 Our Global Scholars programme provides a year of remote MRI training and collaboration for early-career researchers from the Global South. Apply now to join the 2025/26 cohort. Please repost! oxcin.ox.ac.uk/about/traini...

OxCIN's mission to understand the brain and improve health is built on 3 pillars: Building technological bridges Training curious teams Delivering real solutions In the next series of posts we'll take you on a tour of our research and training to show you how we do that!

Excited to share our latest preprint on connectivity modulation with dual-site tACS! We show that in-phase tACS at 20 Hz can disrupt fMRI connectivity between the primary motor cortices, but also affects connectivity with other motor regions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Some of my PhD results are now out as a preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We found that baclofen impair motor sequence learning and changes [GABA] dynamics during learning in motor areas
