If you're even remotely interested in stress, pain, or reward, please consider these PhD and postdoc positions advertised by @sirileknes.bsky.social. Great PI, fantastic people, and beautiful surroundings aplenty in Oslo. Deadline in three weeks.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

Our mobile lab is now ready 🚐!

Join our team! We’re looking for volunteers to join our team & help advocate for #mothersinSTEMM. If you're passionate about our mission, can commit 2h/week & have experience with social media and/or writing & editing, get in touch! Let us know 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #WomenInSTEM

That’s a wrap! Thanks to the speakers @leahbanellis.bsky.social @tschreiner.bsky.social and Anke Karabanov and co-organiser @danlikesbrains.bsky.social for a great symposium 💪

New preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Brain-body #neuroskyence conferences continue with #ICON2025 this week! Having just arrived from Adriatica Summer School in Pescara, the B³ Lab @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social will share their latest work on respiratory and gastric modulation of the brain in health and disease.

If you are looking for a PhD position or know someone who is, seriously consider working with the great @mbaborebelo.bsky.social at Barcelona!

Was passiert, wenn die kontinuierliche Dynamik von Erregung und Hemmung im Gehirn außer Balance gerät? Fokale Epilepsie ist eine neurologische Erkrankung, bei der wir im EEG und MEG eine erhöhte Erregbarkeit des Kortex beobachten - so feuern (zu) viele Neurone zum gleichen Zeitpunkt.

Bisher haben wir uns angeschaut, dass Atmung über verschiedene Mechanismen an Hirnaktivität gekoppelt ist und insbesondere rhythmischer Aktivität (Oszillationen) verschiedene Funktionalitäten zugeschrieben werden. Hier ist ein Aspekt für mein Lab besonders interessant: Kortikale Erregbarkeit.

Wie aber werden jetzt Oszillationen vom Atemrhythmus beeinflusst? Ein Mechanismus, der vor allem aus der Tierliteratur hergeleitet ist, ist in dieser schematischen Abbildung dargestellt: Der Atemrhythmus selbst entsteht im Hirnstamm, in einem Kernbereich namens 'präBötzinger-Komplex' (pBC).

Excited to be taking over the @realscientists.de account for this week - nice chance to post from the road (German only, sorry) about brain-body stuff, #neuroskyence in general, and the fantastic people at Adriatica Summer School in Pescara organized by @teamlabuda.bsky.social #scicomm

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

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇

Sponsoring the #IBB retreat was the best 3rd birthday present @virgobit.bsky.social could have imagined! 🎂 Virgobit was born at the IBB institute in Münster three years ago. It means so much to be part of the IBB retreat, celebrating our journey and the strong partnerships we've built.

You’re now breathing manually 🌬️ What underlies this ability to be consciously aware of own breathing? In our new Journal of Neuroscience paper, we report the largest study to date linking brain microstructure to respiratory interoception. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... 🧵 👇

I made this Computational Psychiatry Starter Pack a while ago and was wondering if I may be missing anyone who has joined bluesky since? I will add anyone who uses computational models to adress questions in psychiatry research. :) go.bsky.app/5PTy9Zj

We are recruiting a new PI at the FIL @imagingneuroucl.bsky.social, Associate or Full Professor. This is an amazing place to do cognitive neuroscience, in the heart of London. If you or someone you know might be interested, please pass it on. #neuroskyence www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, biomed engineering, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2

🔬 New Preprint Alert!
I'm excited to share that my first manuscript is now available as a preprint: 📄 Metabolic State Shapes Cortisol Reactivity to Acute Stress: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Metabolic and Hormonal Modulators 
🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am ridiculously excited about this! We made the cover!! (online-only... but still 😂). Love the philosophical twist to this Editorial at Nature Mental Health featuring our research.

🌟 Are you passionate about Neuroscience? Do you want to explore how the brain’s connection with the body’s internal organs shapes our emotions, social bonds, and interpersonal relationships?
