@carobellum @UniofOxford @wellcometrust @MKFlugge What an impressive and exciting way to return to Ox, those European cerebella won’t know what’ll hit them. Congratulations!

I'm still in shock, but so excited to return to @UniofOxford next year with a @wellcometrust Early Career Award. Here is to five years of cerebellar ultrasound research with @MKFlugge and my other stellar collaborators! Thank you to everyone who helped me on the way. 🥳🎉🧠 x.com/WesternuWIN/st…

@DannyBate4 @ebenezer1954 How about Sceptre < σκῆπτρον (Attic) versus Scape (botany) < σκᾶπτρον / σκᾶπος (Doric)?

@ebenezer1954 Only one that I know of, but the search continues! x.com/DannyBate4/sta…

Across the dialects of Ancient Greek, one difference is that a long ā vowel shifted to ē in Ionic and Attic Greek, but didn't shift in Doric. This vowel split is reflected in two English words with a common Greek origin: 'mechanic' (from Ionic-Attic) and 'machine' (from Doric)!

@RoelMaalderink Aan tafel, briljant!

Is DWDD topsport? Helaas wel. #plakshot

@DannyBate4 @CjgbVictoria I think 'tetrahedron' and 'tesseract' make an excellent pair. Thematically, 'tesselate' might fit better with 'tetris'

@CjgbVictoria For sure! I've wondering whether 'tetra-' and 'tessellate' would therefore be another Attic/Ionic pair in English, but I don't think the contexts can be compared.

A well-known difference between Attic and Ionic, two dialects of Ancient Greek, is that in some words Attic has -TT- where Ionic has -SS-. For example, Attic has glôtta 'tongue', while Ionic has glôssa, and English in fact gets words from both – like 'glottal' and 'glossary'.

So, we've been temporarily 'amputating' peoples' fingers with anaesthetic to examine brain plasticity... We now show that while some analyses suggest brain reorganisation after 'amputation', new methods reveal the original representation persists science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@BrianWandell Thank you. We try to keep a close eye on the parallel debate in Vision and that paper is classic!

@DaanWess Very interesting. Look forward to studying the work, and I already appreciate your additional analytical methods. A summary from the vision side more than a decade ago is below. Best I can tell, those disagreements are ongoing. scarlet.stanford.edu/~brian/papers/…

Have you grown up with textbook animal work from the 80s, stating an amputated finger's 'cortical territory' gets invaded by its neighbours? Confused by human amputee research mainly showing stability, and want a direct face-off? Our new paper's out: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. 1/🧵

@DollyaneMuret Thank you!😄Here is the associated twitter thread in case you're curious: x.com/DaanWess/statu…

Great paper! Well done @DaanWess et al.! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thank you for bearing with me as I moved across the pond. Also, thanks to @plasticity_lab and @OxfordWIN for being such a supportive and fun bunch of scholars. 10/10

I'd like to thank my co-authors who made this paper who have made this multi-faceted paper possible. @ZeenaSanders @lauraredmondson @DrHarryDJ Paulina Kieliba @sanne_kikkert Andreas Themistocleous @uzemye @diedrichsenlab @SuperHannes and of course Tamar Makin! 9/N

After several months of work, happy to share our last #preprint on @biorxiv_neursci entitled "A modality independent proto-organization of human multisensory areas” biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… - a collaboration between @MoMiLab_IMT @ManibusLab @IMTLucca @unito

Very happy to announce our latest paper is out in @CellReports! Bringing a new perspective over the somatosensory Homunculus. What if we could read information about our hand or face from the leg region? @vick_root @DaniClode @plasticity_lab @UCL_ICN doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… 1/5

@Theo_Danes Leuk voor bij een grondvest!
