New Preprint 📖 with @rogierk.bsky.social on 🔥 Does wildfire pollution affect cognitive and brain development? We merged data sources to answer this question in ~9000 children! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... #PsychSciSky #CogPsyc #CogDev #devpsy #CogSci

#OHBM2026 such an inspiring keynote by Dr Maiden Nedergaard talking about the glymphatic system. My work is heading there next with @muriahwheelock.bsky.social @briangordon81.bsky.social and I am all pumped up 🦸so here is my take away

So excited to present this work at #ohbm2026 ➡️ Tuesday afternoon at the neural circuits of memory and learning oral session chaired by @rosannaolsen.bsky.social & Carl Hodgetts ➡️ Wednesday and Thursday at the poster 3103

Eye opening! @cognijunior.bsky.social we have a brain health & sleep program, let's get to work on a stress reduction program ...

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Andrew N. Van, Nico U.F. Dosenbach, et al: Frame-wise multi-echo distortion correction for superior functional MRI doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Starting puberty changes the brain and that start timing matters. At 9-11 years old, girls are already experiencing these changes strongly.

Thalamic recordings show a rhythm that’s strong in wake and REM and absent in deep sleep: An electrophysiological signature of conscious states. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Proud of this team for this multidimensional tour de force! By decoding EEG signal, we show that the brain handles competing distractors through rapid dimension-specific modulation based on a multivariate conflict signal. More in @davideghez.bsky.social's 🧵. Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2025.11.16.688701

New preprint! Last year we showed humans adapt attention in a dimension-specific way when multiple things compete for attention. Now we read out the neural dynamics of this adaptation. doi.org/10.1101/2025.11.16.688701 w/ @mikefreund.bsky.social @theazalabak.bsky.social @wouterkool.bsky.social

Fascinating thread by @gordonneuro.bsky.social on a new discovery of functional chain architecture in prefrontal cortex. Evidence presented is very compelling. My take:

This is going to be my conversation starter at #ohbm2026 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

GastroPy is now out in early beta! Please to share our Python toolbox for electrogastrography and stomach-brain coupling analyses. It includes tools for cleaning, visualising, and analysing EGG data, plus fMRI stomach-brain coupling workflows. Docs, code, and preprint below. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Aging reorganizes human large-scale brain networks, with consequences for cognition & dementia risk. We’ve now mapped brain network changes over a wide range of the mouse lifespan. The changes mirror key features of human aging, but not entirely New @pnas.org paper🧵 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thrilled to announce our new paper in @natneuro.nature.com! We managed the impossible: precision functional mapping during #DBS, with 11.7h fMRI/patient. Selective DBS-induced deactivations in the SCAN, building on our recent @nature.com paper. nature.com/articles/s41... @ndosenbach.bsky.social

Avec @cognijunior.bsky.social, Estigma et @federationfresco.bsky.social, nous proposons un atelier interactif autour du cerveau : puzzles, vidéos et goûts mystères pour la @semaineducerveau.bsky.social 🧠 📍 18 mars – 15h 📚 Médiathèque de Bagnolet #semaineducerveau #sciencescognitives #vulgarisation

As someone who has a hard time remembering my phone number, let alone 10k digits of pi, I am in awe of these memory champions who make it look easy -- but how do they do it!? 😵‍💫 @roselynechauvin.bsky.social explains it in pictures. See how their brains are wired differently! doi.org/10.64898/202...

It's pi day 3.14 ... I don't know any of the other digits but Nelson Dellis knows 10,000 of them Read how he does it doi.org/10.64898/202... And then read how you can do it too with his upcoming book "Everyday genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem-Solving, and Much More"

And ... There might be more similarities than people think between H.M. and the 6x US memory champion 👀

How can someone train their brain to have not just improved performance, but to have unbelievable, superhuman performance? You have to hijack a brain system used for something people do very well (remembering stories) and trick it into helping with tasks we don't do well (remembering numbers).

The 6x US memory champion – Nelson Dellis – can memorize a deck of cards in 40 seconds and knows the first 10K digits of pi. To figure out how, he let us peak inside his brain. Here is what we learned in our precision brain mapping study www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... youtube.com/shorts/MryMq...

"You see what you look for, and you look for what you know." We are proud to release FOCUS: a 100 μm deformable human subcortical atlas precisely registered to MNI space. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 New preprint: Objective Quality Assessment for Precision fMRI Precision functional mapping (PFM) enables individual-level brain network studies — but demands more, and better, data. We introduce an objective framework to determine when a dataset truly supports interpretable, replicable PFM.

Such a fascinating paper! Less than 3 years after the discovery of the new motor network (SCAN) interleaved between effector motor regions, SCAN is proving highly relevant for Parkinson’s! It offers potential to improve treatment and reduce symptoms non-invasively.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... the original research article ... no paywall

Non-invasive brain surface stimulation targeting personalized SCAN alleviated symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease. See the videos below.(www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

Happy to share a short but super cool video that gives a quick overview of our Nature paper on the somato-cognitive action of netwokr in Parkinson's disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m very excited about this new work describing the specific cortical-striatal circuits that are altered in Parkinson’s Disease and that should be targeted for optimal PD treatment. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Parkinson's disease affects over 10 million people worldwide. A new study led by WashU Medicine researchers is paving the way for more personalized, non-invasive treatment, tackling this neurological disorder at its root. @ndosenbach.bsky.social medicine.washu.edu/news/brain-n...

A recently discovered brain network that links cognition (thinking) and actions may have an important role in Parkinson’s disease and could improve its treatment, according to a study published in Nature: spklr.io/63320DMwOi #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence #Parkinsons 🧠 🧪

Petit passage sur @iciradiocanada.bsky.social ce weekend pour parler de notre dernière publication dans @cp-cell.bsky.social sur l'effet des 💊 stimulants sur le 🧠. #TDAH A réécouter ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie... avec @benjaminkay.bsky.social @ndosenbach.bsky.social @washumedicine.bsky.social

What if we've misunderstood how ADHD stimulants work? WashU Medicine brain imaging and child neurology teams joined forces to uncover where in the brain these drugs act — knowledge that could improve how attention disorders are treated. medicine.washu.edu/news/stimula...

Things are not obvious. And I have so many new questions now.

Envie de créer un kit d'enseignement des neurosciences pour mieux apprendre à destination des lycéens ?

Un énorme projet (1 an sur le nouveau design et 3-4 ans sur les vidéos tuto !) 😱 Rendez vous lundi soir ! @cogniclasse-afsc.bsky.social @federationfresco.bsky.social

Important consideration to better model neuroimaging data

That's going to be very useful !!

We have argued that the brain’s Action Mode Network controls functions required for goal-directed behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Now, in new work, we show that AMN contains distinct subnetworks for making decisions, implementing actions, and processing feedback. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Looking forward to talk about my latest research findings at the LOOPS webinar

Alert!!!! “An Action Networks Model for Pain” We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it. 👉 thread below 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!
