1/10 THIS MAY CHANGE HOW YOU THINK ABOUT ATTENTION 🧠⚡ ATTENTION IS NOT SYMMETRIC. Darrell @MeganDarrell1, Vanneau @Theo_Vanneau, Brittenham @ChloeBrittenham, @Smolholm & @JohnnyFoxe From @CNL_Rochester @CNL_Einstein biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

🔬 Ketamine disrupts how the brain detects the unexpected. New work reveals that sub-anesthetic ketamine dampens mismatch negativity (MMN) across cellular, population, and network levels—blunting novelty responses and breaking A1–PPC connectivity. A powerful mechanistic window into NMDA-dependent predictive coding. @EJNeuroscience @FENSorg 👉 Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…

“It is well documented that males and females are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at different rates. But we still do not have a great understanding of why this is the case. We can only improve any possible treatment or prevention of this disease if we know the why, when, and where these differences are occurring.” urmc.rochester.edu/news/publicati…

Happy I ❤️ URochester Day! It's been a tradition for more than 10 years, and today our students let our alumni know why they love our University

The NIH-funded HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study just released data that will more than double the sample available to researchers for analysis, providing robust longitudinal data from the prenatal period through 15 months of age, including the largest single collection of infant MRI and EEG in the world! HBCD is the largest, long-term study of early brain and child development in the U.S. Learn more about the HBCD 2.0 Data Release: nbdc-datahub.org

Screen time 📱 & the developing brain 🧠 - it's a relationship that parents wonder about, and one that some lawmakers across the globe are taking action on 👇️ LISTEN NOW as @JohnnyFoxe weighs in on this on @scifri sciencefriday.com/segments/scree…

URochester and @RITtigers to receive $2M to expand capabilities of the Rochester Quantum Network Thank you to @SenSchumer, @SenGillibrand and @RepJoeMorelle for their support securing this crucial funding to advance quantum communication More on RoQNET: uofr.us/4qDjauJ

#URochesterResearch found that male and female brains show different responses as Batten disease progresses, and have found a model of the disease that could transform future treatments urmc.rochester.edu/news/publicati…
