Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Bickart on a new grant from the @DeptofDefense! This $3M grant, āPersonalized Circuit-Based Frontoamygdala Neuromodulation for Persistent Post-Concussive Symptomsā, will examine the effects of #TBI on specific #brain circuits.

Well-deserved! Definitely worth attending.
Wow! Our course on using MRI to optimize brain stim accepted for #OHBM2025. So cool. I've wanted to go to Australia at least since 6th grade... šØš¦šŖ

@PessoaBrain Always been a fan of Dunbar, but agree with you @pessoabrain, the limbic brain is crucial and maybe evolved to support complex social life in primates 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2014.08.013

That seems to be enough to buy gains in longevity and brain and heart health. At least 150min/week is doable.
Analysis of 116 RCTs shows the duration of weekly exercise is linearly associated with body weight & body fat up to ~300 min (5 hours) of exercise per week. ā”ļø#exercise #health #weightloss

@ImagingNeurosci @bttyeo Psychedelics promote bottom up processing to the level of top down processing. That should enhance the sensory experience.

@SandCResearch Certainly how it feelsā¦harder to build most things in health than to lose them. But this seems unfairly disproportionate.

Seems so obvious, now. Well done. Yin and yang.
In the action-mode, arousal is heightened, attention focused externally, and plans are converted to goal-directed movements and updated based on feedback, such as pain. The brainās action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) In the brainās mode continuum, the AMNās action-mode sits opposite the DMNās default-mode for self-referential processing, counterbalancing each other as yin & yang. AMN dysfunction might be key in pain, apathy, Parkinsonās, etc. New NRN piece with Marc Raichle & @gordonneuro. Short š§µ ā¬ļø
