Frontal alpha-tACS/TMS has been used to treat depression in MDD. We show similar effects in schizophrenia, suggesting the transdiagnostic potential of alpha-tACS treatment for depressive symptoms. See our recent #sfn22 poster for a summary!!! 5/5
In case you missed my #SfN22 poster? Using MEG & multialternative choice task, we show that flexible information sampling follows a "bifurcation" strategy that reduces a complex 3-alternative choice into more tractable 2-alternative choices. New work with Konstantinos Tsetsos and Tobias Donner

Four hours of discussing, thinking, listening. And the chance to meet stellar scientists and colleagues. You've been good #SanDiego, you've been good #SfN22! To the next one!
@tyrell_turing @AllenNeuroLab @charanranganath emphatic yes!
So what are the edge conditions that shape how something is remembered? Too many types all the same as prior instances and the token blends in (fuzzy #semantic ); too different and it’s hard to #remember in rich detail (insufficient scaffolding of types). And worst =too many consecutive instances with inadequate scaffolding.

It's #FollowFriday, so let's share a thing that we are proud of doing this year!

For myself: I'm proud that I attended #SfN22 and presented my early research in-person. I've wanted to go to Society for Neuroscience since I was an undergraduate but never had the opportunity since I worked all through college to stay afloat.

I just joined my lab earlier this year and still managed to have something to talk about and contribute to science. I also had a new chronic illness kick in late this summer, so navigating the extra fatigue, pain, and symptoms was something I was unsure about. Wrapping IcyHot around my legs, taking meds, resting and accepting my physical limits without collapsing or falling into posterboards was a major plus. There is so much more I wanted to see, but I hope next year I will be able to catch up and make up the difference.

It helps tremendously to have a lab that always has your back!

What are you proud of this year, #Academic / #Science mastodon?

#Neuroscience mastodon has been a bit quiet last week, with the #SfN22 conference going on, but I noticed a huge influx of new members the last couple of days. Welcome new mastodon users!

Hello,

I am a neuroscientist studying how specific regions in the brain are vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease (#AD). We are mainly interested in the neurons of entorhinal cortex and hippocampal since they are affected early in AD and important for memory. We use in vivo electrophysiology to understand the population dynamics of neurons affected by amyloid beta and tau pathologies. More recently, we've been interested in how locus coeruleus pathology impacts downstream regions.
Was awesome meeting so many fellow scientists at the #neuroscience meeting #sfn2022

@sharenarice Yes, it was wonderful! I joined my lab earlier this year so it was a great chance to bond with my lab and also network with others. I am still amazed by how enormous #SfN22 was in terms of how many people and how many posters there were! I wish I could have had an extra week to just talk to everyone about their posters.
