Had a great time at the MEG Nord conference in Aarhus, Denmark presenting the latest work of @pandonaude.bsky.social and myself on the cerebellum in Parkinson's disease, which is more than just basal ganglia. Poster: laumollerandersen.org/poster.pdf Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠📈

MEG Nord returns to Aarhus, Nov 26-28, inaugurating our new OPM lab! Keynotes from @olejensen.bsky.social, James Bonaiuto @danclab.bsky.social, Sophie Scott; sessions will feature both group leaders + early career researchers. Registration & abstract submission now open: cfin.au.dk/meg-nord-2025

📈🧠 We're looking for brains! 🧠📈 Postdoc + PhD positions are available to help pioneer fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers, measuring prenatal responses to sound and light to understand how we start making sense of the world even before we're born. 🐣 Please get in touch to hear more!

Our open-access article - Testing circuit-level theories of consciousness in humans - together with Yunkai Zhu, Carolina Fernandez Pujol, @dvwz.bsky.social, @jonescompneurolab.bsky.social, @tmarvan.bsky.social, and @danclab.bsky.social, was just published @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social.

So great to see so much OPM-MEG showcased at #FITNG2025! Come see my own contribution demonstrating fetal OPM-MEG with visual stimulation responses at poster P2-H-96. We plan to take this much further in the next few years, also happy to chat about the postdoc or PhD position we have available!

Dr. Margot Taylor is giving an inspiring talk about how to expand the frontiers of neuroimaging in toddlers with wearable OPM-MEG (Optically Pumped Magnetometer - Magnetoencephalography) 🧠 @sickkidsto.bsky.social #FITNG2025

Wonderful to see fetal OPM-MEG developing nicely. Congrats to Chiara Capparini for a wonderful talk and her young investigator award! #FITNG2025

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

We fed cows the ground-up remains of other cows. We got BSE. Now we're feeding LLMs the ground-up outputs of other LLMs. 🤷‍♀️

On this day 2y ago we announced our move away from the huge profits that NeuroImage makes for Elsevier. Things at Imaging Neuroscience have progressed fantastically thanks to the support for this move by the brain imaging community and @mitpress.bsky.social. 565 papers published already!

Be sure to delete all research proposals from your devices and brains before attempting entry to the U.S. They're full of ideas! 🫠

striking to me that this interview ends with him plaintively pleading for other university leaders to speak up: "I don’t think this is all about Princeton. It’s about what’s happening in the United States. I think this would be so much stronger if many more of my fellow presidents were speaking up."

The intracranial EEG research feed is up and running (at least I think so 🤓)! Use the #iEEG, #ECoG, #sEEG or #stereo-EEG tags to share your posts. Please let me know how (if?) it works, whether changes should be made etc. Feed profile pic courtesy of David Groppe, thx!

Neuropeeps! Is there a list somewhere of the intramural neuroscience researchers @ NIH who have lost their jobs? If not, could you reply to this thread or hit me up on Signal (tverstynen.64) if you happen to know of specific people? Please boost if you don’t mind.

Great opportunity for science journalists: 3-5 month residency here in Aarhus, Denmark! @thetransmitter.bsky.social @sciencenews.bsky.social @videnskab.dk

The cerebellum is part of the reptile brain, right? Listen to me debunk this myth that's alive and kicking outside the neuroscience circles in this popular science podcast (in #Danish) www.spreaker.com/episode/sada... #neuroskyence

Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

Boycott everything Elon: Tesla, Neuralink, X, etc! betakit.com/its-done-its...

State and public university employees, teachers – the highlighted states own shares in Tesla adding up to roughly $10 BILLION, mostly via *your* retirement funds. Click your state on the linked map for who to call and write about dumping TSLA! #TeslaTakedown datawrapper.dwcdn.net/UlgqW/8/

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Boycott Royal Society journals and let them know why every time they send you one of their solicitation emails.

(NOW with)🧪 Background: when going off X/Twitter, I got out of habit of promoting my articles online. I’d like to highlight two articles on the cerebellum that I published in 2024, which also provides some context to my current call. I’m excited about revealing a cerebellum-behavioural correlation.

🇺🇸 States, public universities, and their retirement funds own at least $10.8 BILLION of TSLA. Or well, they did. They've lost nearly $1.8 billion of that since the start of the year! Employees, teachers, students, alumni – tell them to join the #TeslaTakedown and #TakeTheXiT. 🇨🇦 🇰🇷 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 See below. 👇

Inevitable yet awful. I was lucky enough to get one of these internships back in the day and learned how to do some incredible medical image processing. More importantly I was integrated into a wonderful research team. The experience absolutely inspired me to pursue a career in neuroimaging.

O Canada! Et tu? The Canadian government and provinces still have about $2 billion invested in TSLA... #TeslaTakedown

Hei Norwegians, hallå Swedes – did you know that virtually every working adult in your countries is a Tesla investor too? Sweden's pension funds own a total of $477 million, while Norway's is Tesla's 14th biggest investor with $14 BILLION of stock. #TeslaTakedown #Sverige #Sweden #Norge #Norway

Normally the only kind of tesla I'd post about online are the femtotesla generated by human brain activity. But these aren't normal times. 🧵 #TeslaTakedown

Trends in Cognitive Sciences Ignoring the cerebellum is hindering progress in neuroscience www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

A wonderful and unique postdoc position available in the budding group of my wonderful colleague and collaborator @ualsbombe.bsky.social . The project will investigate the cerebellum's role in cognition using MEG, including OPM-MEG! #neuroskyence

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil: "The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight." www.reddit.com/r/labrats/co...

📣 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🔬 I made this short comic to explain what the #NIH cuts mean in practice because behind the abstract label of #overheadcosts are real people, doing important work! #AcademicSky #resist #organize #scicomm

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Resist. Here is our lab's values statement: www.ncclab.ca/values

Every few years I remind people of the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium (nprc.incf.org). It's great! You submit your neuroscience paper to a journal, and if they don't want to publish it, you can choose to reuse the reviews at a different journal. Strong recommend.
