In this "Big picture" debate, @nicolecrust.bsky.social explores the controversy around the terminology used to characterize emotions—and invites 13 experts to chime in. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict...

🚀Excited to share our project: Canonical Representational Mapping for Cognitive Neuroscience. @schottdorflab.bsky.social and I propose a novel multivariate method to isolate neural representations aligned with specific cognitive hypotheses 🧵https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.01.673485v1

What's the difference between emotions & moods? While old (1994), this book dives into it. Richard Davidson suggests a functional difference, whereby emotions bias action and moods bias cognition. (Hmmm... the action/cognition distinction is a tricky one). psycnet.apa.org/record/1995-...

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

It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor. journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

Dopamine dynamics in the nucleus accumbens core reflected decision confidence during evaluation of decisions in an economic foraging task in mice, as well as both past and future value during re-evaluation and change-of-mind @perothwell.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper is out! When navigating through an environment, how do we combine our general sense of direction with known landmark states? To explore this, @denislan.bsky.social used a task that allowed subjects (or neural networks) to choose either their next action or next state at each step.

Neat registered report from @mattmattoni.bsky.social @dvsmith.bsky.social @mindimager.bsky.social and @olinotom.bsky.social diving into the tension between nomothetic (group-level) v. idiographic (individual specific) in functional connectivity models. #Neuroskyence direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

1/ my first post for my first paper ✨ in this work with @sarah-moreno.bsky.social, @emmavolle.bsky.social, and @lopezpersem.bsky.social, we showed that subjective valuation acts as a domain-general process during creative thinking 💡

Discrete sites in the human insular cortex showed changes of ac vity that predicted later memory recall, while others responded to emo onal content. Smula on of memoryrelated sites showed direct influence over the hippocampus www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A neuroimaging tool, TACOS, was developed to transform network-based statistics across brain structural and functional networks from different atlases. Using TACOS, connectomic findings could be easily combined or compared without handling raw data www.nature.com/articles/s42...

This was hard work, but ultimately there is support in the literature that engagement of different RL processes by serotonergic and dopaminergic/noradrenergic pharmacological interventions may be a promising route to follow. The @relmed.bsky.social study will do just that.

I'm celebrating my Friday by reading this recent review published in @nature.com by @lucinauddin.bsky.social and Bharat Biswal on the history and future of rsfMRI. It's a great read for anybody interested! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m happy to share with you that I’ll be Intern with @LopezPersem at the @InstitutCerveau for my Master project The feeling that some cool things will happen ✨

The topic of my first author tweet will focus on my graduate internship search! I’m currently searching for a research internship (6 mo, from Jan. to Jun. 23). If I would resume my research interest in keywords: neurosciences, neuro-imaging, social & affective cognition

1/n After my graduation, I would like to pursue in Ph.D. Here is my Curriculum Vitae, with different research internships Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in this open candidature, or if you know someone! #neuroscience #internship #graduate

I’m impatient to end finals and start #ThePowerOfUs by @jayvanbavel 📚
