Ever wonder what microstructural damage in #multiplesclerosis is linked to symptoms of #dysarthria? Read my new #dMRI paper to find out! doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

New #preprint out🧠 “Distinct patterns of structural connectivity are associated with variations in language lateralisation.” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

check out my paper on the reproducibility of speech fmri!

All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s). Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable! One of the coolest results in linguistics.

Most recent paper just dropped! This study focuses on the reproducibility of #speech task #fMRI in healthy adults 🧠💬 doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.…

CTE is caused by repetitive head injury and has mostly been found in contact sports players. now it's been diagnosed in two women who suffered decades of abuse before they died—the first two documented cases in victims of domestic violence in australia abc.net.au/news/2024-07-0…

@Artyom_Yekat @braincomms Hi! I’m Kenyon! I know my grandparents moved to Aus from England, but some Kenyons ended up in the US so it’s possible we’re distantly related!

Kenyon et al. report that speech dysfunction in people with #MS is more closely linked to microstructural damage within speech-specific white matter tracts than macrostructural atrophy of motor speech areas of the brain. edin.ac/3xQi0Xv

Should you use FDG PET in your work up for #epilepsy surgery? Absolutely!! Read this extensive systematic review and meta analysis by the fabulous @merrancourtney here neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN… @brien_terence @AndrewNeal_1 @MonashSTM @AnaAB013

My cousin got her first period while forcibly displaced in a tent in southern Gaza. Her mother spent two days looking for sanitary pads & painkillers amid israel’s genocide & blockade of aid supplies. For International Women’s Day, call out feminists who are silent on Palestine.

#InternationalWomensDay – Women are still only 27% of STEM workers in Australia, but more women are studying STEM at university. From 2015 to 2021, women’s enrolment in STEM courses grew by 31%. Representation matters. 📈

Fascinating new work on speech in the brain! Where does Broca’s area fit in the story?

While loss of consciousness or memory loss didn’t significantly raise MS risk, an increasing number of head impacts did. Learn more: buff.ly/3UkRXAy #ms #multiplesclerosis #msresearch #msnews
