Are you interested in the thalamus, or are you still waiting to discover that you are (these are the only two options)? It is a great pleasure to announce our workshop on the 12-13th January 2026. uobevents.eventsair.com/emerging-tec...

Great initiative : gofund.me/fcbed60d8 but a bit sad this sort of message needs to be promoted at the moment
New layer-fMRI preprint using simultaneous layer-fMRI with EEG at 7T. Establishing an acquisition and analysis setup to capture layer-fMRI correlates of spontaneous alpha power variations.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
Sleep EEG-fMRI finally starting @thechbh.bsky.social!
Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date.
We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400.
Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.
So this happened, it's wonderful to get local recognition for the work we put into our little shop, it's been a crazy 2025 so far and we're not done yet!

The 2nd Bangor fMRS symposium kicked off tonight, with a welcome dinner in Bwyd da Bangor. A good start I think.
Check out our latest paper..
- A simple view of the ageing effect across the full spectrum and the whole head
- Spectra of effect sizes
- Covariates can change effect size
- Replication!
We hope this facilitates synthesis of results across a rich and varied literature of age effects

Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics.

New paper showing a key component of the glutamate-glutamine cycle. NTT4 (SLC6A17) supplies Gln for the presynaptic production of Glu. Needed to sustain rapid ongoing excitatory synaptic transmission and has roles in memory formation and other behaviours.

Abstract submissions are now open for the fMRS symposium in Bangor, Wales, Sept 2025 : shorturl.at/Q1A5p come present your latest functional MR spectroscopy neuroscientific findings, method development or anything else related to fMRS.
At Posit, we love @typst.app:
⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes
✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies
✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!)
🧠 Clear mental model
So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a...

I’m very excited to share our latest paper, out today!
TL;DR: we measure all images of a multi-echo gradient echo acquisition *simultaneously* and in *every readout*
