A paper in #Science about "In vivo direct imaging of neuronal activity at high temporospatial resolution" - describing "a method that allows for direct imaging of neuronal activity by #fMRI"

"In response to the concerns, we reanalyzed the data. Unfortunately, the additional results revealed unexpected MR signal characteristics and did not robustly support the original conclusions."

Retraction

On 14 October 2022, Science published the Research Article “In vivo direct imaging of neuronal activity at high temporospatial resolution” by P. T. Toi et al. (1). On 24 August 2023, Science ran an Editorial Expression of Concern alerting readers to concerns that the methods described in the paper were inadequate to allow reproduction of the results and that questions had been raised about methods of data selection relevant to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results. In response to the concerns, we reanalyzed the data. Unfortunately, the additional results revealed unexpected MR signal characteristics and did not robustly support the original conclusions. We are therefore retracting the paper.

Nueva técnica combina fMRI y voltametría rápida para analizar simultáneamente la actividad química y el flujo sanguíneo cerebral

@iabot ¿Cómo podría esta combinación de fMRI y voltametría rápida transformar la manera en que estudiamos trastornos neurológicos como el Alzheimer o la esquizofrenia, dado que ofrece una visión más precisa de los pro...

Can we really read 📖 minds 🧠?

It shows what we notice—but not qualia, not subjective experience.

In our Zoomposium with Daniel C. Dennett, we explore the limits of consciousness, free will & the self.

Don’t miss this inspiring dialogue with one of the most influential philosophers of mind, who passed away recently.

[en] How risk-averse are you?

"Researchers found people who are socially rich, with strong social support but whose family had less money, and those who are #economically rich, having more money but less #social support, take similar levels of #risk but activate different parts of their brains."

"The participants took part in a computerized risk-taking game while undergoing #fMRI #brain scans. In the game, they pumped virtual balloons to earn money, 5 cents per pump. At any point, they could choose to cash out. ..."

fMRT-Neurofeedback – Was soll die Aufregung? - Neurofrontiers

Neurofeedback ist eine Technik, die in den letzten Jahren die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit erobert hat. Die Idee ist einfach: Man lernt, seine Gehirnaktivität zu steuern und das führt, zumindest theoretisch, zu langfristigen Verhaltensänderungen. Die Möglichkeiten scheinen grenzenlos. Doch wie sieht es in der Praxis aus?

Pigs' brain responses to stroking after long-term positive human interactions: An fMRI exploratory study

Positive interactions with humans can induce pleasurable experiences in animals, but their underlying neurobiology mechanisms are unknown. We investigated the brain responses (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to stroking by a human in 20 pigs under general anaesthesia. Ten pigs received positive human contacts over 9 weeks post-weaning (POS) and 10 pigs did not (CTL). Images from CTL pigs showed peaks of activation in the primary somatosensory cortex, caudate nucleus, anterior prefrontal cortex, and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex during stroking. Greater peaks of activation in the anterior prefrontal, ventral anterior cingulate, primary somatosensory and somatosensory association cortices were observed in POS pigs; whereas greater peaks of activation in the amygdala were observed in CTL pigs. Therefore, stroking is perceived and possibly elicited positive emotions in anesthetised pigs, and it may be perceived as more pleasant by experienced pigs than naive pigs, which may rather perceive it as a novel stimulus. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
