🚀 Excited to share our new Advanced Science paper!
With @leonardobonetti.bsky.social, we present FREQ-NESS: a novel method to map the brain’s functional organisation as a landscape of frequency-specific networks. 🧠

“My wish is that this will provide a positive message to the young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women in science can also have an impact through their research.”

Seeing the world through the lens of oscillations - we are delighted to share our new paper where we demonstrate that anatomically resolved oscillatory bursts reveal dynamic motifs of thalamocortical activity during naturalistic stimulus viewing (doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...).

Last night I went way too deep into the Epstein files and my dreams were full of elites and stolen babies. Absolutely not a bedtime story. Tonight I’m choosing something lighter because I’d actually like to sleep. #EpsteinFiles #HauntedIsland

A new study uncovers an anti-resonance effect in Wnt signalling, where pathway activity is suppressed at specific signal frequencies. Using optogenetics and modelling, the work shows how signal timing shapes cell fate decisions.

Happy Tuesday! Today's sunrise was a study in texture and layers from the top sky all the way down to the reflecting sun on the frozen snow over the dunes, with a wave splash for good measure. Tap for full size, particularly because it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

Why can axolotls regrow limbs, but humans can’t?
New work shows regeneration depends on cells from all sides of the limb coordinating their positional memories.

Congress Is Reversing Trump’s Steep Budget Cuts to Science: instead of a 22% cut, we’re only down by 4% with this proposal. Thrilled to see bipartisan efforts on advocating for science! #America #federalFunding

“We are subconsciously embracing how mobility is important in scientific research [...] But that does not come easy to citizens from the Global South.”
In Voices, Mayank Chugh discusses creativity, community, and citizenship as privileges in academia.

FIFA World Cup tixs went on sale a couple days ago and I just went to buy tixs for Germany vs. Ecuador at MetLife on our 7-year wedding anniversary, not sure whether to be surprised tixs start at $949... alright there must be some good viewing parties in the area, right? @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social

Thoughtful review with some good recent historical perspective on the ongoing paradigm shift that is radically changing the way we think about what brain areas do.

I am thrilled for our upcoming online seminar around brain size, neuron numbers, and connectivity with 2 fantastic evolutionary neuroscientists, Kristina Kverkova and Kei Yamamoto: next Tuesday, April 22, 2pm UTC, 4pm Paris. 🧠 🐦 🐠 🦜. Join us on Crowdcast crowdcast.io/c/brain-size...
