Cognition, mood and sleep in people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The CUMULUS BPD study registered at #ISRCTN by @lzatkinson @OxPsychiatry @CumulusNeuro @Boehringer isrctn.com/ISRCTN13064194 #ClinicalTrials

Excited to be working with such great collaborators on this project. We are exploring how at-home #EEG, alongside measures of mood and actigraphy, can enhance quantitative insights about day-to-day experiences for patients with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder #BPD.

Our newest paper demonstrating reduced risk aversion following reward in participants with mood instability and bipolar disorder 🎯🧠〰️

Data analysis is hard. We tried to make it easier (for M/EEG)! We developed a toolbox based on MNE-Python to make preprocessing, source recon, and other analysis easier, and more efficient, transparent, and reproducible. It's called osl-ephys - check it out! (links below)

Who says festival season is over? 🎸📷🥁 Presenting the hottest lineup in town! We're so excited to welcome these speakers to @unibirmingham on October 28th-31st for QMAG, QMEG and MEG-UKI 2024. Stay tuned: We may be adding some Special Guests to this lineup soon😉

Congratulations to the @covidcns team on the latest research out in @NatureMedicine today! Showing that post-COVID cognitive deficits were equivalent to 20 years of normal ageing. 👉nature.com/articles/s4159…

Regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood, according to research in @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Atkinson et al. report a selective impairment in long term memory performance in individuals recovering from mild #COVID19 infection which improved with days since diagnosis. @nzokaei @KiaNobre @lzatkinson @thome_jude edin.ac/3SNlWzE

Our latest research finds dissociable effects of mild COVID-19 on short- and long-term memories 😷🧠academic.oup.com/braincomms/art… (with @nzokaei & @KiaNobre)

MEG-UKI 2024 is coming to Birmingham! Save the date: Mon 28th - Thu 31st October We are teaming up with our colleagues in the world of OPMs to bring you four days of cutting-edge neuroscience and Magnetoencephalography. More info below, and on our site: uobevents.eventsair.com/meguki/

Our paper on cognition and memory after Covid-19 in a large community sample is now out in @NEJM. Thanks to participants, coauthors, editors, logistic and media people at Imperial, @Ipsos and @iamcognitron, who made this work possible. @ImperialBrains doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa…

Interested in spectral analysis? This one is for you! Check out our new paper! Great to have collaborated with @AndrewJohnQuinn and colleagues at @OHBA_Oxford🧠

I can confirm, this is great!! 🤩

Do cognitive deficits persist after COVID-19 and, if so, what is their biological basis? Our NEW pre-print under review in @NaturePortfolio dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… We report one-year cognitive, serum biomarker, and neuroimaging findings in 351 patients A thread 1/n

More details and a tutorial overview in the paper... code: github.com/OHBA-analysis/… Many thanks to all involved! @lzatkinson @Chetan__Gohil @kohliver @JemmyPitt @CathaZich @KiaNobre @markwoolrich

A new preprint! Ever used pwelch, or signal.welch? 1960s stats for spectra are widely used today though statistical methods have greatly advanced. We modernise this with the GLM-spectrum... @OHBA_Oxford @OxfordWIN @OxPsychiatry @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

@MaximeTaquet @rcpsych @OxPsychiatry @OxHealthBRC @OxfordHealthNHS Congratulations Max! So well deserved

Really honoured to have received this @rcpsych award not least given the other nominees' achievements! Massive thanks to Paul Harrison for ongoing mentorship & @OxPsychiatry @OxHealthBRC and @OxfordHealthNHS for creating a unique environment to develop as an academic psychiatrist

Here is a short blog post on how I feel these days...as me and a lot of my Iranian friends outside Iran continue to bounce between hope and despair, a million times a day. #MahsaAmini nzokaei.com/hope-and-despa…

I write this tweet with a heavy heart... as I write this, university students in the top university of Iran are rounded up on university grounds and are being slaughtered... please take notice and support them #Mahsa_Amini @UniofOxford
