Katzen schlafen bevorzugt auf der linken Schulter. Das haben Onur Güntürkün von der RUB und ‪@ocklenburg.bsky.social‬ mit internationalen Kolleg*innen herausgefunden. Sie vermuten, dass dieses Verhalten die Überlebenschancen der Tiere steigert. #CatContent Mehr Infos: 👉 news.rub.de/wissenschaft...

Just saw another manuscript that was all "We applied model Z to X and Y." Time to repost this blog post: "Let's do statistics the other way around" www.the100.ci/2024/08/27/l... If you're doing substantive research, the statistics are just a means to an end, not the centerpiece.

What are we talking about, when we talk about 'representations'? My undergraduate student, Oyinkansola Olorunleke, is conducting a thesis project on the concept of representation in cognitive sciences & neuroscience. We are seeking interested participants in the below survey: tinyurl.com/2e6rcnxv

You didn’t have the full Berlin experience without joining a protest. Universities face cutbacks, since the Berlin Senate failed to uphold the terms of the higher education pacts and unilaterally implemented cuts amounting to 142 million € – an 8% decrease to the 2025 budget. So we chipped in ;-)

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

I am overjoyed to share that I will be joining the Faculty of Psychology @tudresden.bsky.social as Professor/Chair of Biopsychology! Thrilled and excited about this new chapter for both myself and the lab!

IMPRS COMP2PSYCH doctoral student @zoyamooraj.bsky.social presents this important review with co-authors including LIFE alumni and faculty @mjdahl.bsky.social, @markuswb.bsky.social, Ulman Lindenberger, and @garrettneuro.bsky.social!

PhD student @zoyamooraj.bsky.social et al. with a remarkable vision for the future of the cog neuro of human aging, now live in Neuron: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt.... Task-related function is the future y'all... there can be no substitutes if we want to understand cognitive aging.

To start off 2025, we are very pleased to introduce a Special Issue on the Neuroscience of Aging, curated by Axel Guskjolen. We hope you enjoy every single piece of it as much as we do! www.cell.com/neuron/current

Wow one of the best videos of basic hippocampal anatomy for the human brain. Very helpful for those curious to see where memories for events and episodes are first stored in the brain:

Question for fMRI aficionados: We are planning a spatial memory study in 4-8 yo kids. For navigating the virtual environment, we are looking for a MRI compatible joystick / touch pad etc. that allows easy 360° movements. Do you have any suggestions for suitable devices?
