Hand and Brain Lab

Pleased to share our preprint: Cutting a nerve of the hand alters the organisation of digit maps in primary somatosensory cortex. doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… Special thanks to our participants—it’s been a privilege working with you and seeing this project succeed.

Bangor U's PGR's—Ben Govier, Irina Giurgea, Elsie Pearce, Naomi O'Hanlon, Ronan Timircan— busy, busy sharing their research at this year's Seeing and Acting Workshop, U of Coimbra, Portugal. Thanks @PsychBangor for the support! @gnomicbrain @BinneyRJ @BIG_fMRI @BangorUni #SAW2024

Moment-to-moment information on both complex posture and ball location, using @DeepLabCut. @Brain_Products mobile EEG system neural tracking neural consequence of (rare!) moments @BarryGiesbrecht missed a shot. @jordangarrett__ @BrainOnExercise

I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @TheOnion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.

"I'm not crying for my parents - I am crying for those who will lose their lives in this war. We must stop the war." Powerful testimony from @maozinon on @BBCNews - just days after his parents, Bilha and Yakov, were killed by Hamas.

Scientific papers would be 100x better if authors would stop their obsession with passive voice.

Any person can see that ordering 1+ million people to move in under 24 hours is not possible. It is unacceptable. The UN has already deemed the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.” Humanity is at stake. Nearly half are children. We must halt this

First two participants took part in this study today - they really enjoyed the VR screening tool, despite it being their first time in VR headset!

A recent letter we devised to continue the conversation re cortical reorganisation following peripheral nerve injury, and the cognitive mechanisms of hand selection. Could talk about this for days - let alone 500 words! Thanks @BP_neurosci for looping me in 🤗

@action_brain Wow. So lovely. How I miss that.

Fantastic news

New paper—touch localisation in nerve repair. doi.org/10.1152/jn.002… Special thanks to all participants, many of whom travelled far distances to take part. @wellcometrust @mcglonefp @Vivien_Lees @PrashJesudason @PsychBangor

We're thrilled to announce that our @IBMScience accredited #BiomedicalScience programme is ranked 5th in the UK by the Guardian League Tables, out of 86 programmes! Even better, we're the #1 programme in Wales. Celebrating 20+ years of excellence at @BangorUni !

Day 4 - 1st Day case hip replacement in Abergele performed by Prof Malek and theatre team. Physiotherpy occupational therapy, ward nurses, and doctors work their magic. Amazing teamwork. @JCAshtonOT @RyanDaviesLibby @CaseyCorrina @trmadhusudhan1 @BalasundaramR12

@TheHandLab Not alone!

The last day with these amazing people at the fMRS symposium. It's been a blast! @PsychBangor @BangorUni @SeicolegBangor @SportSciBangor @BIG_fMRI

@PrashJesudason @RobCaine3 @CaseyCorrina @SatyaPydah @kathryn_h_c @BetsiCadwaladr @s2dnia Nice one, Prash!

Second Minor Operations list in the Llandudno MOPs room for Mr Jesudason & the Orthopaedic team in BCU. Some fantastic patient feedback & great to see first hand. @CaseyCorrina @PrashJesudason @SatyaPydah @kathryn_h_c @BetsiCadwaladr @s2dnia

Nine-year-old Niamh and her family have reunited with the doctors that saved her life after she became so unwell that her heart stopped, and she needed emergency surgery. 🔗 bcuhb.nhs.wales/news/health-bo…
