Please repost. The Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping is looking for a Preclinical MRI physicist (9.4T and 15.2T Bruker Advance Neo). You will join a team of 14 dedicated staff in Canada's National Ultra-high field MRI platform who also operate 3T and 7T human scanners in the same facility.

Very happy to share my first preprint from @oxexppsy.bsky.social @oxneuro.bsky.social ! We (me + co-first authors @lilweb.bsky.social @mirunarascu.bsky.social + PI @mkflugge.bsky.social + many others) used transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS/tFUS/LIFU) of the human amygdala ... (1/15)

Our paper is now out in Journal of Neuroscience!🥂

We show that motor training strengthens cortico-cerebellar connectivity in patients with cerebellar degeneration, especially in movement-related networks.

Great collaboration with @unidue.bsky.social, made possible through @thinkglobal_rub 🧠

#JNeurosci | Using a large patient population, Nettekoven et al. identified a neural pathway involving the cerebellum that has increased functional connections following motor training. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1823-24.2025

Are broad task batteries better than resting-state fMRI to learn something general about the human brain? If you are at #CCN2025 come by @basselarafat.bsky.social and @carobellum.bsky.social poster on Tuesday and Wednesday! @cogcompneuro.bsky.social

Oh no! I’m hoping for a speedy recovery for you. Until next time!

Caroline Nettekoven @carobellum.bsky.social · Jul 5

Yes! :)

Landed at the Cerebellum GRC in Switzerland, where the science is high-level and so are the altitudes.

Very ready for this week's deep dives into cerebellar function, alongside some excellent bovine branding. 🐄🧠

One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “Neural network retuning and neural predictors of learning success associated with cello training.” Explore the article here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

For more trending articles, visit ow.ly/Me2U50SkLRZ.

Design and behavioral results. (A) An MRI-compatible cello was used for training and scan sessions. (B) The longitudinal repeated-measure protocol with three scans and eight training sessions. (C) Group average pitch errors and tempo errors across training sessions. (D) Group average pitch errors, tempo errors, and performance scores across scanning sessions. Here, the performance scores were linearly rescaled considering the pitch and tempo datasets of both scans (Methods).
