Also @jellinap.bsky.social , #MindBrainBody , Young Scientist Awardee 2023, presents her stunning work on #brain-#heart coupling across the menstrual cycle analysing resting heart rate variability and heartbeat-evoked potentials - with links to premenstrual #feelings. #MBBS2026 #MBB

Two past Young Scientist Award winners are presenting today at #MindBrainBody Symposium: @ege-kingir.bsky.social on cardiac dynamics in visual and somatosensory perception & @jellinap.bsky.social on neural-cardiac processing across the menstrual cycle 🫀🧠 Consider appplying in next years! #MBBS2026

Pleased to share the acceptance of our #ESCAN2026 Symposium: Dynamic brain-body interactions in perception, selfhood, and cognition across health and disease, featuring Francesca Garbarini, Nicholas Hedger, @jellinap.bsky.social and @paulasalamone.bsky.social, see you in Rome! @escaneu.bsky.social

Last day of #ACNP2026 and it is raining, so the beach is not an option ☔️🏖️ Instead, get yourself a tropical drink (I can help with that -leftover drink tickets from folks who already left 😄🍹) and come by poster TH187 for a chat on brain-heart dynamics + menstrual cycle @acnporg.bsky.social

New release of PowerLMM.js! Browser-based power analysis for longitudinal models with dropout. Now includes: - Power analysis summary report - Reproducible & shareable configs (URL/JSON) - Calculations validated against R - Hypothesis region visualization powerlmmjs.rpsychologist.com

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

Reminder: We want to hear *your voice* on taboos in women's and gender diverse health! 💬🧠Your perspective will directly inform priorities in research and a women's health resource platform. Find survey link at our website: www.cbs.mpg.de/cbs/en/resea...

Could the diversity of findings in heartbeat-evoked response (HER) research be due to variability in methods? In our new preprint my co-first authors, Maria Azanova and @willenjoy.bsky.social, and me systematically reviewed 132 M/EEG HER studies and found:

We were part of the annual retreat of the Department of Neurology at @mpicbs.bsky.social at beautiful Kloster Nimbschen this week 🧠🌿 A fantastic few days of science, discussion, and connection in an inspiring setting – and with exciting awards for our group!

"The menstrual cycle: an overlooked vital sign in psychiatry?" It's worrying how often menstrual, hormonal and menopausal questions are missed out of a psychiatric history. Timely work from Dr Katie Marwick and colleagues. mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/28/1...

Integrating the menstrual cycle into heart-brain research is a crucial step toward advancing sex-specific medicine and improving outcomes for female brain and body health, argues a new #ScienceAdvances Focus. #WomensHealth scim.ag/4bG8Lso

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

How the #MenstrualCycle shapes #heart and #brain health - @jellinap.bsky.social together with Julia Sacher @cogneuroend.bsky.social & Arno Villringer describe how these naturally occurring variations might influence #stress, mood, and long-term #womenshealth: tinyurl.com/35pu6447

Absolutely loving the cover art of the new Science Advances issue, featuring their SI on “Advancing the Science of Women’s Health” that highlights the growing wave of research dedicated to understanding women’s unique biological and psychological experiences www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!

Quite proud to present my first senior-authorship publication, together with @neuromodlab_KUL Key message: a 4 week course of intranasal oxytocin decreases amygdala connectivity and improves cardiac autonomic balance in children with autism doi.org/10.1159/0005...

My first post here marks my final day (for now) at KU Leuven and the @neuromodlab_KUL 👋 It's been an incredible journey since I took my first steps into research in 2015, filled with much learning, growth, and unforgettable experiences 🎓 See you soon!
