Happy to share that our work is finally published in @commsbio.nature.com! We identify molecular and cellular signatures of hemispheric specialization, linking language and attention to distinct neurotransmitter, mitochondrial, & cellular organization across the cortex 🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s420...

🔥happy to re-share this herculean effort - the result of years of work building a database from open data and community contributions. Many thanks to the fearbase team for their effort and hard work and to the broader community for their support! Important work to shape a collaborative future 🤲

I am celebrating 10 years of my blog, In Your Hands. I have written over 150 posts describing handedness research. Read my comments on the 10-year history at sites.psu.edu/clarep #laterality #lefthanded #neuropsychology

Happy to announce that the journal Laterality is inviting short commentaries to answer the question "How many handednesses are there?" We aim to facilitate an open dialogue across disciplines and species. Submission deadline is 10th July 2026. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Did you ever notice that Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog are left-handers? Here is a short explanation why left-handedness is so common among the muppets. westerhausen.dk/sinister-mup...

Sadly, not an April Fool & also not surprising. “An analysis conducted by @nature.com in collaboration with Grounded AI suggests that at least tens of thousands of 2025 publications, including journal papers, books, & conference proceedings, probably contain invalid references generated by AI.” 🧪

Check out our comment on the sustainability of neuroscientific research, now out in Nature Human Behaviour!

New comment talking about something very important: How to do sustainable, open science in neuroscience! 💪🧠 Thanks to the @igor-dgps.bsky.social team for another great collaborative piece ❤️

New paper from our IGOR Sustainability project in Nature Human Behaviour: “Sustainable neuroscience through open science” ♻️🧠 As there is no research on a dead planet, neuroscience must weigh its environmental footprint alongside its societal impact. A thread 👇 [1/4]

Isabelle was my intern last year and I thought I would try writing a science short story as a didactic #scicomm exercise - and was amazed at the result! ♥️ So here it is now for all of you to read! ☺️ I think from now on all my students might be asked if they want to try it out 😁

New study from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience @ruhr-uni-bochum.de in @plosbiology.org shows that #cortisol administration impairs path integration, a specific navigational process, and reduces grid-like brain activity patterns in the #entorhinal #cortex of the brain 🧠 plos.io/3NmX3eG
