🥳Our in-depth investigation of the adult VWFA is now published! Read here:doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…
New preprint! tinyurl.com/mrx2pc2x. Despite decades of research, the nature of VWFA remains under debate. Is VWFA dedicated to visual word & distinct from other high-level visual regions? Is it even visual?! Or is it part of amodal language or attention networks? 🧵1/8
Kicking off another season of our @NICHD_NIH funded youth football study with @Zlab_OSU! #GoBucks @OhioStateCBI @osuhrs @OhioStateMed @jimmyonatePhD @samdeangelo32 @EnoraLeFlao @z_saygin
They had a blast, thanks for putting this together!
Thanks to all the young 🧠brain enthusiasts🧟 who joined us today! Tomorrow afternoon we will have three guided tours to our #BrainArt exhibition "Beyond Borders" starting at 3:00 PM, 3:20 PM, and 3:40 PM. Visit us in Hall B2 #OHBM2024
Delighted to share our perspective piece “Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought” now out in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… (with long-term collaborators (and friends) @spiantado and @LanguageMIT) 1/n
So excited to share this paper!!

🥳Huge congrats to Dr. Jin Li @jinnnliiii93 @Zlab_OSU who gave a wonderfully successful thesis defense today! We'll miss her but look forward to seeing her thrive in @neuranna's lab this fall! And thanks to the rest of her amazing committee with Dylan Wagner & @juliedgolomb
Thrilled to share a review on THE LANGUAGE NETWORK AS A NATURAL KIND—a culmination of ~20 yrs of thinking about+studying language from linguistic, psycholinguistic, and cog neuro perspectives. @NatRevNeurosci rdcu.be/dEylV With the amazing @neuranna @tamaregev 🥳 🧵1/n
Come see us at @VSSMtg this upcoming week! #VSS2024
Incredible opportunity to peek inside the mind in utero!
A great kickstart to fetal scanning, thanks for the visit! @CassieLHendrix
How well do #NeuralNetwork models account for #AuditoryCortex responses? @GretaTuckute @jenellefeather @dlboebinger & @JoshHMcDermott show that most trained DNNs show improvement over a classic baseline model, with cortex-like organization #PLOSBiology plos.io/46Z5ArK
I am beyond excited to share a new paper “Rapid, concerted switching of the neural code in inferotemporal cortex,” led by @Yuelin_Shi and Dasheng Bi. We describe a new form of neural computation in which single neurons rapidly change their tuning to temporally multiplex different…
Already planning next year’s conferences? CAOs awaits in Rovereto (Trentino), Italy, 9-11 May. We have an exciting slate of speakers lined up. Details: webmagazine.unitn.it/en/evento/cime… #CAOsConf2024 #CIMeCevents
Awesome work from @HunterSchone who collected longitudinal data in patients undergoing a planned amputation Almost no change in cortical hand representation before and after amputation even 6 months after surgery
Time to revisit a 40-yr-old theory on brain reorganization We longitudinally scanned patients with planned hand amputations and see highly stable hand and face cortical representations before and after arm amputation @plasticity_lab @Chris_I_Baker 🧵1/13 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
Cam already made his first contribution to science (as a study participant) @Zlab_OSU! Check out some of @z_saygin amazing work on neurodevelopment, if you haven’t already! @OhioStateCBI @OhioStatePsych @OhioStateCCBS
Huge congrats to Dr. @mfionamolloy on a successful defense! W/ co-advisor David Osher (davidosher.com) and special thanks to her thesis committee @leberandy & @JLundinePhDSLP! And wonderful to hang out with Fiona's entire lovely family who came to see her defense!🍾🎊
