We have a new preprint! Alzheimer's patients have a radically different neural informational signature compared to healthy controls, suggesting diminished consciousness, and a skewed cognitive profile. Mammoth, and important, work, spearheaded by @KeenanDown
Keenan Down@KeenanDown

Happy to announce this new preprint! In it, we use info decomp (ΦID) on fMRI in Alzheimer's and MCI to explore how info-dynamic representations change. AD saw big decreases in synergy ('deductive' information) and increases in redundancy. Find it here👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

How do some people keep their minds sharp when they get older, while others experience cognitive decline? In our new paper, we examined cognitive reserve, which is the brain’s resilience in the face of challenges: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #neuroscience #cognition #aging 1/7

My friend 林居正 (Chu-Cheng) has created an amazing Lego Science Lab! And if it gets over 10,000 supporters, it actually gets sold! Please add your support to this brilliant project: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/…

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret. I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

1/ New preprint! Neuroscience uses advanced methods to study brain regions/neurons/genes (order 1), couples of them (order 2), triplets (order 3), etc. But haven't we lacked a clear conceptual map to organize these diverse methods and integrate findings? techrxiv.org/doi/full/10.22…
