The Allostatic Interoceptive Network (AIN) suggests interoception, social cognition, and emotion overlap across neurodegeneration. In @BiologicalPsyc1 we conducted a metanalysis of 6,985 participants (atrophy, functional connectivity & metabolism: bit.ly/3A9RJof) and found key AIN regions involved across these domains, especially in frontotemporal dementia. 🧵1/4

So you want to do ESM? ✨then take a look at our hot-off-the-press AMPPS paper on “Ten Essential Topics for Implementing the Experience Sampling Method": doi.org/10.1177/251524… ✨I'm really proud of the result & hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed working on it! 1/6

Remember the days where you were in college and thought you were invincible. From a glucose metabolism perspective, this may be indeed so. Check out Alyssa Ng's new work here: doi.org/10.1093/sleep/…

Vagus nerve stimulation recruits the central cholinergic system to enhance auditory perceptual learning beyond the level achieved by training alone @Froemkelab @katie_a_martin nature.com/articles/s4159…

📰 New preprint! We show using computational modelling that transdiagnostic compulsivity is associated with greater uncertainty about learned task structure This work was led by Siri Sookud, starting during her MSc Thread below👇 osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/n

Previous studies show that a number of individual difference factors are related to metacognitive biases: for instance, both gender (being a woman) and anxiety have been linked to underconfidence.

New study out in World Psychiatry on the Network Theory of Mental Disorders. Here is what the study shows in lay person’s terms. doi.org/10.1002/wps.21…

During moderate tonic locus coeruleus activation in mice, noradrenaline release engages cortical regions related to associative processing, while burst-like stimulation biases the brain toward sensory processing nature.com/articles/s4159…

Ever felt less motivated to take on effortful tasks? Our latest study sheds light on a key mechanism behind that choice: lactate levels in the brain’s dmPFC/dACC Great work by @ClairisN and A Barakat in the lab @Brainmind_EPFL @NeuroLeman @epflSV Link: doi.org/10.1038/s41380…

Just a few more days to apply for this position - reach out if you're curious and want to know more!

Our second living Bayesian meta-analysis on tVNS-induced effects is online now 👀. In this preprint+app, we analyze pupil dilation and find marked differences between pulsed (works!) vs. continuous protocols. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
