Decided to challenge myself to share more often online without filtering and overthinking, so starting a 365-day challenge where I’ll post a neuro fact once a day. #ShyButSharing365 (Feel free to join, doesn’t have to be neuro-related)

“As a therapist, you’re often a container. With time, that kind of chips away at you.” We talked to Ana Dumitru, clinical psychologist trainee in the UK, about therapy, training, life, and cultural differences. #psychology #therapy #MentalHealth #interview #journey #neuroskyence #talk #life

I'm near speechless. @awaisaftab.bsky.social heard was I was trying to say (and added his own insights). Thank you for engaging with Elusive Cures so thoughtfully, Awais. I'm so appreciative.

”Do you remember that episode from the PowerPuff girls in which the colorful clown is accidentally bleached, turning into an evil mime, and he starts absorbing all the colors from Townsville, stunning everyone into sadness? That’s how I feel lately.” #empathy #neuroskyence #positivity #hope

We’ve known for some time that air #pollution is bad for human #health. But the focus was mostly on the lungs and heart. Yet somewhere along the way, it became more mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of that. #neuroskyence

German is expanding! Thanks to @christophmetzner.bsky.social, you can now read about fMRI neurofeedback in German as well: neurofrontiers.blog/de/fmrt-neur... As usual, don’t forget to share with your friends! And if you’d like to join, details below. #neuroskyence #SciComm

📢Call for students📢 Are you a student passionate about #science communication? Do you speak more than one language fluently? We want to hear from you! We're looking for multilingual students to help us make #neuroscience more accessible. Details here: neurofrontiers.blog/the-brain-ac... #SciComm

“It’s hard to unscare people once the seed has been planted.”

Neurofeedback promises to teach people how to control their own brain activity and help manage anything and everything, from depression to ADHD. Of course, the scientific reality is a tad more complicated. #neurofeedback #neuroskyence #depression #therapy #nuance

How does the dominance of English in science influence science communication? What effects does it have on the scientific education of the population? And how can we counteract them? #SciComm #skyence #education #STEM #English #culture #society

This is going to seem very random but I miss how the old bird app would have worked brilliantly for this: I’m looking for someone who can help me find information about how, and in what - if any - capacity, the Salvation Army might have been involved in adoption processes in London in the 1910s.

Neurociencias Para Todos brings neuroscience education to remote communities in Mexico. @analog-ashley.bsky.social‬ talked with founder Monica López-Hidalgo about the program’s efforts and the importance of making neuroscience accessible to all. www.thetransmitter.org/community/br...

“A decision, it turns out, is not hatched in a single cortical enclave, but emerges from a grand orchestration of regions spread across the brain, including those once understood to be the preserve of movement rather than thought.” Cool work on distributed coding of decision-making. #neuroskyence

New academic year, same big question: should you actually do a PhD? Here’s a personal take (grain of salt advised). #AcademicSky #PhD #PhDLife #academia

What do amyloid plaques, cookie cutters, and presenilin have in common? And what does that have to do with viruses? You can find out below. #alzheimer

How are your gut and your brain interacting with each other? We take a look in this article. #neuroskyence #gut #brain

It used to be important, maybe even fun, definitely something at which you were doing pretty well. But along the way, it somehow got spoiled. Instead of looking forward to it, now you dread going into work. That's how burnout sneaks in. #neuroskyence #burnout #SelfCare #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth

Wait, we can do that? In short, yes, but only under very specific circumstances. #SciComm #DidYouKnow #BrainActivity #skyence

Progesterone is another sex hormone best known for its effects on the female reproductive system. Similar to estrogens, however, it’s becoming increasingly clearer that progesterone impacts many more systems in the body, both in females and in males. #neuroskyence #skyence #hormones

#EEGManyLabs website is now live: eegmanylabs.org A home for our global effort to test the replicability of influential EEG findings, share resources, improve methods in cognitive neuroscience, and grow an open, connected community.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

When we hear “hormone effects on the brain”, we tend to think of sex hormones. Involuntarily, we might picture some sort of erratic behavior, be it increased aggression or “excessive” emotions. But did you know that there are many more hormones which act on your brain? #neuroskyence #hormones

Did you know that the placebo effect has an antagonist? #neuroskyence #nocebo #placebo #DidYouKnow #FunFact

Some time ago, we wrote about the effects of social media on attention and the implications for science communication. Once again, the present reality doesn’t quite live up to past optimism. #neuroskyence #ScienceCommunication #education #YoungMindsNeedMore #skyence #attention #SocialMedia

Cotard’s syndrome is characterized by the belief that one is dead. It’s an eerie reminder that reality is constructed by the brain. But do we actually know what brain changes lead to this belief? #neuroskyence #cotard #brain #self #psychology #skyence

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/ha...

How do estrogens impact brain function? Perhaps not surprisingly, there are still a lot of unknowns here. But we’ve summarized what’s known in the article below. #neuroskyence #hormones #estrogen #brain #research

In today’s post, we’re turning our attention towards yet another mental disorder often portrayed in the media, but still not fully understood or easily treatable: posttraumatic stress disorder (or PTSD, in short). #neuroskyence #MentalHealth #ptsd #psychology

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Haven't heard anything about Sergio Canavero in a long time (fortunately), but I must admit this was one of the most entertaining deep dives ever. #neuroskyence #skyence #WildClaims #fun

I just got the notice that all the FlyBase people at Harvard, including me, will be laid off on October 12. I'm devastated.

Finally got around to writing a somewhat proper introductory post. It includes some musings about using the word “blog” in science spaces and about how the creative process looks like for me. #neuroskyence #skyence #blogging #ScienceBlogging #writing #academia #SciComm #neuroscience #brain

Two years ago, I thought this was all very basic information and *everyone* would soon grasp that AI does not, in fact, understand. Back then, I was disappointed that I couldn’t write anything of more substance. Today…well, today I’m just disappointed. #neuroskyence #ai #llm #neuro #skyence

Thanks @avaskham.bsky.social & @thetransmitter.bsky.social for including me in this discussion of why individual differences matter.

So far, volunteers have helped add articles in #German & #Lithuanian, and translate everything in #Romanian. We’re still looking for people who can help us bring accessible #neuro content into any #language, no matter the size. Get in touch or share with someone interested. #neuroskyence #skyence
