What does stress do to working memory? 😰😵‍💫

Geissler et al. (2025) show that while task performance stayed stable, prefrontal activation dropped after acute stress, hinting at subtle cortisol-linked neural changes not visible in behavior.

Thank you for having me and the @nirx-nirs.bsky.social team at SANS this year! It was so inspiring to see how fNIRS and other neuroimaging is used to study how we communicate and feel. Looking forward to the next one!
