We all have to read this.

After years of hard and smart work by Tommy Clausner together with @Jose_P_Marques and Mathilde Bonnefond our work on how neural oscillations measured with EEG relate to feature specifc laminar fMRI is finally ready to be shared with the public. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Open post doc position in our lab, fMRI and threat learning. Come join us! su.se/english/about-…

Open postdoc position in our lab at @Stockholm_Uni on the neural dynamics of social (associative) threat learning and emotion regulation with Armita Golkar. Come join us! su.se/english/about-…

Still time left to apply, come join our lab!

I'll be recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024. Take a look at the lab website and the FAQ for prospective students: piraylab.com/join Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Methylphenidate, a common ADHD medication, has varying effects on creativity depending on an individual's baseline dopamine levels, according to new research. The findings challenge the notion of universally using such drugs for cognitive enhancement. dlvr.it/SypnMX

Check our our new preprint on how striatal dopamine signaling modulates working memory and reinforcement learning - and how much people rely on either when learning new things. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting postdoc opportunity @UCLPsychiatry / @UCLPALS with @docqhuys, Essi Viding and others even more exciting with functioning link to job description! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Excited to announce the publication of our article titled "Methylphenidate undermines or enhances divergent creativity depending on baseline dopamine synthesis capacity" co-authored with @CoolsControl in Neuropsychopharmacology! nature.com/articles/s4138…

Loved coordinating this project! Brilliant work by Ruben and @CoolsControl. These results warrant caution for using these off-the-shelf trait measures as proxies of striatal dopamine synthesis capacity. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

Disentangling sources of uncertainty in the brain. Our new paper led by @modelbrains We find that anterior insula tracks state uncertainty. dlPFC tracks outcome uncertainty. ACC/mPFC integrates the two. link.springer.com/article/10.375…

1/Penfield's Little (Big) Man. You had me from "in my first neuroscience course at Columbia, I learned about the homunculus." And the Gordon-Dosenbach BOLD map compels us to rethink tried-and-true cortical landmarks. So why did the Penfield homunculus survive for >90 years? ...

Pretty paradigm-shifting if this data is replicable.. dopamine doesn't seem to encode reward prediction errors, after all! Open question what it does, in that case.. nature.com/articles/s4158…

So happy that our paper on the brain structural correlates of model-based control and feedback learning across development is now published in Journal of Neuroscience! jneurosci.org/content/43/12/…. Team effort by @ldeserno @MariaWaltmann @an_reiter @ahorstmann_dr & Nadine Herzog :-)

Open PhD position at @Stockholm_Uni in our group on the neural mechanism during social emotion regulation. Contact Armita Golkar [email protected] to apply! su.se/english/about-…

How to correct your fMRI data for physiological noise great work led by Martin Krentz with @fladd, @RayyanTutunji, @ErnoHermans and others.
