Frontoparietal network topology as a neural marker of musical perceptual abilities - Nature Communications

Here, the authors show through an analysis of brain scans from over 200 non-musicians that individuals with an efficiently organized network connecting frontal and parietal regions, critical for worki...

New preprint out! 🧠

Lau Møller Andersen @ualsbombe.bsky.social · May 19

Parkinson’s disease is all about basal ganglia, right?

Using MEG in a timing paradigm, we find altered PD-activity in the cerebellum as well. This is important for understanding timing and action networks in the brain and sheds light on PD. @pandonaude.bsky.social 🧠📈

Preprint: bit.ly/431EEcv

Somatosensory timing and cerebellar-basal ganglia beta-band interactions in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease has traditionally been viewed through the lens of basal ganglia dysfunction, yet emerging research also implicates the cerebellum and its connections to the basal ganglia. To prob...

1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
