The long part was partly my “fault”, as sometimes revisions were made with a little assistant in my arms #naptrapped 👶🫠
So thank you to everyone involved 🥳 now let’s see what else the 🧠 is doing!
End/🧵
Wanted to add that I had a very positive experience publishing with Imaging Neuroscience! We went through a long revision process but I always felt respected from the editors and the reviewers. 7/🧵
3. The salience network is involved in situational cue and choice attribute processing, supporting the dual model of salience! Again, separating the analysis types is important!
More findings and a lengthy discussion in the paper 🤗 6/🧵
2. Against our expectations, the domains do not share common activation nodes but they all involve medial prefrontal cortex, just in slightly different locations. This could also change if more studies were available that use task>control task contrasts. 5/🧵
In the meta-analysis we found that, for example, striatal activation is associated with higher possible outcome magnitude and higher uncertainty as a specific choice attribute but not as a situational cue! 4/🧵
1. A methodological point: in decision-making imaging, it matters what data is contrasted against each other. If it’s task>control task, we are looking at situational cue processing. If it’s choice>opposite choice, we are seeing processing of specific choice attributes. 3/🧵
We were interested if the domains share any common nodes of convergent activity. It turns out, it’s not so straightforward 🧐
Among the many very interesting findings, let’s talk about 3 points we made in the paper. 2/🧵
New paper alert 🚨
My second first author paper is out at @imagingneurosci.bsky.social 🥳 with my co-authors, we have conducted a meta-analysis on fMRI studies in 3 decision-making domains: morality, risk, and ambiguity. direct.mit.edu/imag/article... 1/🧵
Dear Ms. Aiste Ambrase,
We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript has been accepted for publication in Imaging Neuroscience. 🥳
We have a very distingueshed guest this week and you can listen to her talk via Zoom!
Birmingham-Leiden Summer School in Computational Social Cognition (CSC 2024) will take place on the beautiful @unibirmingham campus 14th-17th July compsoccog.com. Fantastic lineup of speakers & instructors inc. Wolfram Schultz @celiaheyes.bsky.social Christian Ruff. Please RT and Register ASAP!
New paper alert! 🚨 I had an honour to be involved in this study investigating differences in emotion reactivity between naturally-cycling women and women on OCs or IUDs. Follow this link to access the full paper authors.elsevier.com/c/1iS8Y15hUd... #neuroskyence #neuroscience
Happy New 🧠 Year!
Brain-body people in Europe, there's an ERA-NET NEURON pre-call for transnational proposals on bidirectional brain-body interactions in health and disease (open in Jan)! Have a look, spread the word, and let's make things happen!

Cool, new #postdoc opportunity with Tobias Kaufmann in #Tübingen working on the effects of pregnancy loss on the brain: jobs.medizin.uni-tuebingen.de/Job/3762/Neu...
Apply if you're up for some cool computational psychiatry, MRI and machine learning on a really relevant topic!
Our department just got a brand new 3T MR scanner 🤩

My colleague @franziweinmar.bsky.social is doing a wonderful job with a podcast about research on women's brain and mental health. She just published a new episode and the older ones are, too, very interesting and valuable to listen to. #Neuroskyence #neuroscience #WomenInSTEM
My lab is now on Blue Sky as well! Follow for very exciting science on women's mental health and brain function 👩🔬 In recent years our group grew a lot along with the variety of topics we cover. So I got a chance to expand my research interests - exciting projects are in progress 🧪
Time to start posting! I am a PhD candidate at Uni Tübingen and I research brain functions involved in moral decision-making but I am also interested in financial and social DM. Soon (I hope) I will have some publications on morality but this is already out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32987043/
I find it useful to have an accoutability buddy. I don't have one right now but I used to meet with a fellow PhD student online once a week (Monday morning), talk about our tasks from last week and what worked, what got finished and what not, and plans for the next week.
