Getting Started

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool πŸ‘‡(thread)

The preprint of my first PhD project is live! 🧠 Find the link to the manuscript and read about the key findings below. πŸ‘‡ #alzheimersdisease #neuroimaging #tau #amyloid #mri #pet #biofinder

Eating a diet high in specific types of nutrients β€” including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes, and low-fat dairy products β€” is associated with improved physical and mental health in older age, according to a study in Nature Medicine. #medsky πŸ§ͺ

Check out our recent pre-print looking at resting-state EEG individual alpha peak frequency and aperiodic exponent and memory performance across episodic memory, working memory and visual short/term memory tasks in a sample of healthy older adults πŸ§ πŸ‘΅πŸ»

New research out in Psychophysiology (doi.org/10.1111/psyp...). The EEG aperiodic slope, thought to reflect cortical excitatory/inhibitory balance, was linked to temperament traits (surgency, regulation) in infancy and moderated associations between maternal anxiety/depression and infant regulation.

My favourite part of the week is seeing the new meme on @linniplidot.bsky.social 's office door πŸ‘€πŸ§ πŸ€‘ #PhD #PhDStudent #PhDLife #AcademicLife #Neuroscience #Brain #Science #PhDMemes #ScienceMemes #AcademicHumor #ResearchLife #SciComm #BrainScience
