Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.

New preprint from the lab! 🧠
Led by Juliana Trach, w/ Sophia Ou

Using fMRI, we discovered evidence for time-sensitive reward prediction errors (RPEs) in the human cerebellum.

Builds on, and extends, recent work in both rodents and NHPs

📣 New preprint 📣

The brain attenuates self-touch, but how does this unfold at the neural level before the touch? We used MEG to find out 🧠 👉👈

Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation

Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...

Preprint time :)
In this one, led by @asanchezcorzo.bsky.social, we describe respiratory coupling to excitability states across the wake-sleep cycle. If only we could always have hours and hours of data... Great first collab with the lab of @tschreiner.bsky.social at LMU! #Neuroskyence 🧠🟦

Respiratory coordination of excitability states across the human wake-sleep cycle

While the respiratory rhythm is increasingly recognized as a key modulator of oscillatory brain activity across the wake-sleep cycle in humans, very little is known about its influence on aperiodic br...

In conclusion, investigating PD-participants can reveal both underlying facts of our timing and action networks, while also shedding light on the disease itself.

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

As an exploratory endeavour, we investigated the cerebello-thalamo-ganglion network we, proposed in bit.ly/42Yh4NE, and found that PD-patients showed altered activity for the jittered condition.

The differences in the cerebellum correlated with PD-symptoms as measured by UPDRS.

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

Before the onset of the expected, but omitted stimulation, we found differences in the beta band (14-30 Hz) between groups in the cerebellum and the caudate nucleus.

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

We had PD-participants and controls participate in a passive paradigm. Jittered and non-jittered trains of stimulation were followed by omissions.

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 🧠📈

Could you expand on what those other things are?
I am curious because, in humans, we are finding out that the cerebellum is basically involved in most cognition as well.
And I am eager to learn what might be going on in other species.

Thanks

This fits with our second paper, short review where we forward the hypothesis that the cerebellum is not a time-keeper per se, but an integrator of spatial and temporal information that can inform predictions about future sensory events, and allowing for informed behaviour bit.ly/4bcQd31. 🧠📈
