Exciting news! 📺 The Monash Pregnancy Study featured on @7NewsAustralia last night! @kelseyperrykkad and I had a fantastic experience sharing our research journey and the importance of studying matrescence in neuroscience youtu.be/NMYfkDy54Yg?si…

Congrats to Dylan Burrowes & supervisor @katharinavoigt on their new preprint showing that people are more risk averse for visual vs. auditory #decisionmaking. doi.org/10.31219/osf.i… It's a huge achievement to publish an Hons project, well done! @MonashPsych @Mon_Bio_Imaging

📢Call for abstracts Joint Meeting of OHBM Australia + `Maths in the Brain', 7-8 Nov, 2024, in Melbourne. Abstract submission: tinyurl.com/486c9t8w Deadline: 13 September 2024. Registration here: tinyurl.com/jvwcmcte For more information: tinyurl.com/yubdarc2

NEW paper: @Katharinehuynh shows that computerised cognitive training results in increased grey matter volumes in #HuntingtonsDisease. Great work Katharine! @MonashPsych @turnerinstitute @Mon_Bio_Imaging @ACNS_Official @OHBM_Australia doi.org/10.1002/mds.29…

In this new preprint, @DeeryHamish found that #fPET #MetabolicConnectivity had greater predictive utility for age & cognition than fMRI FC. @turnerinstitute @Mon_Bio_Imaging @ACNS_Official @OHBM_Australia @ConnectivityPet

We're excited to introduce you to our latest Pathfinder, @SharnaJamadar. Sharna wants to understand what makes our brains tick, and what makes them healthy! Find out more about Sharna and her #STEMCareer: futureyouaustralia.com.au/pathfinders/sh… #AussieEd #TeachingSTEM #WomenInSTEM

The world’s media has spent the past few days speculating about Imane Khelif’s sex. “I am a female,” she says. Two key points: 1 humans exhibit a wide variety of differences in sexual development 2 long history of female athletes being subject to questions about their sex 🧵

In @DeeryHamish's latest #PETMR study from our lab, we found a larger effect of insulin resistance on CMRGLC in younger than older adults. Highlights the importance of maintaining insulin sensitivity even in young age. @Mon_Bio_Imaging @MonashPsych doi.org/10.1038/s44324…

Excited to share this - I've been featured in an @WomenInSTEMAu educational campaign! If you've got kids interested in #Neuroscience, perhaps they'd like a colouring book featuring 👇😊. shorturl.at/pKL0t Huge thanks for inviting me! @MonashPsych @Mon_Bio_Imaging

Interested in how cognition is fueled in the brain? We do a deep dive into the metabolic costs of cognition in our latest preprint. Thanks to @Anna_NeuroSci @DeeryHamish @DrBreaky doi.org/10.31219/osf.i… @Mon_Bio_Imaging @MonashPsych @turnerinstitute @Psychology_UON

So pleased to see this next paper out in our program focused on the #ParentalBrain by the wonderful @kelseyperrykkad and @sbectacular! A fantastic interdisciplinary project bridging psychology, philosophy & neuroscience.

Our paper about the sense of self in first time pregnancy is out now in @Nature_NPJ npj women's health! 🪞🤰 With @SharnaJamadar and @sbectacular, at @Monash_FMNHS @Mon_Bio_Imaging @Monash_M3CS @turnerinstitute Check it out: rdcu.be/dHja6 #WomensHealth #babybrain

Check out @OrchardWinnie's followup to our work in the #ParentalBrain now in preprint! Congrats Winnie!
