🚨 Registration extended to Oct. 3 We're convening intellectual and developmental disabilities research experts from across the country for a two day symposium 🔗 bit.ly/46xlBXL 📅 Oct 28 & 29 📍 Rochester, NY - a top place to visit in the fall via @usatoday.com 🍂 🎨 @charmainela.bsky.social

#URochesterResearch found microglia, the brain's immune cells, play a key role in how the brain adapts to the changes in this area during adolescence, which may transform how neurodevelopmental disorders are treated during this window and, possibly, into adulthood

Just as chronic pain care is multidisciplinary, so is the research approach @urmed.bsky.social Drs. Jennifer Gewandter & @paulgeha.bsky.social are investigating whether language or facial expressions can be used to characterize different types of chronic pain Read more⤵️

Human auditory cortex integrates information in speech across absolute time (e.g., 200 ms), not phonemes, syllables, words, or any other time-varying speech structure: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What happens when you listen to speech a different speeds? Does your brain change its processing speed too? It turns out, no @samnorman-haignere.bsky.social & researchers at @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social found the auditory part of the brain keeps clocking in at a fixed time via @natneuro.nature.com
