💪🧠🥦 Can lifestyle slow Parkinson’s disease?

Increasing physical activity, reducing stress, and improving nutrition can not only alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms, they may even slow the progression of the disease. Curious about the latest recommendations? 👇

Out now as a preprint!

We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task.

Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

This is heartbreaking 💔 to read. Thank you 🙏 for sharing this with us. I want to apologize to you on behalf of real Americans. It’s a painful reminder that we must keep resisting these harmful policies so we don’t lose more people like @wwenneuro.bsky.social, whom we spent over a decade training.

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

I always learned a great deal from simulating data (aka mostly how things don't really work the way they are advertised 🙃).

so I can definitely recommend playing with this toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG sources with desired properties (location, coupling) for connectivity. ⬇️

Alina Studenova @studenova.bsky.social · Oct 3

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox.
