New online! Characteristics and mechanisms of cognitive impairment in Parkinson disease
Characteristics and mechanisms of cognitive impairment in Parkinson disease
Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 03 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01163-xCognitive impairment is one of a range of non-motor symptoms that people with Parkinson disease (PD) can experience in addition to the hallmark motor symptoms of the disease. In this Review, Oikonomou et al. outline the epidemiology and natural history of cognitive decline in PD and related disorders, and discuss the key underlying pathophysiological factors and mechanisms.

Excited to see our paper with @mwcole.bsky.social finally out in peer-reviewed form @natcomms.nature.com! We examine how the human brain learns new tasks and optimizes representations over practice…1/n

Lab’s latest is out in Imaging Neuroscience, led by Kirsten Peterson: “Regularized partial correlation provides reliable functional connectivity estimates while correcting for widespread confounding”, where we demonstrate a major improvement to standard fMRI functional connectivity (correlation) 1/n

Stories no one had heard in years…
Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.

A neuroscientist studying memory, I used to believe time was linear. Then my mother had a stroke.

“Cognitive flexibility as the shifting of brain network flows by flexible neural representations”, a solo paper by yours truly, making the case that brain activity flow shifts are essential to mental flexibility (and quite interesting too!)

Lab’s latest at PLOS Comp Biol, led by Carrisa Cocuzza: “Distributed network flows generate localized category selectivity in human visual cortex”. This one changed how I think the brain works! Even "localized" functions are likely generated by distributed processes doi.org/10.1371/jour...
Distributed network flows generate localized category selectivity in human visual cortex
Author summary A fundamental question in neuroscience has persisted for over a century: to what extent do distributed processes drive brain function? The existence of category-selective regions within...
