New preprint out! We developed a behavioural platform for the kinematic analysis of skilled whole body behaviour. Very fun collaboration with Christopher Black, Liam Browne and Rob Brownstone.

We recently awarded a #ChangingPolicyAndPractice grant to @LFabriziUCL
who has used brain imaging to explore how babies experience pain 🧠
➡️Dr Fabrizi will now be able to share guidance that will help clinicians better monitor and manage pain in babies: bit.ly/3oiGLHn

Thank you @MedResFdn for a very fun interview
Tomorrow is International Day of Women and Girls in Science👩🔬
💬We interviewed one of our own inspirational #WomenInScience - @SKochLab, whose research explores how childhood experiences of #pain influence lifelong vulnerability to pain

Thanks Stuart, really beautiful to see them like this 🙂
A very quick and rough animation I made combining the @DevelopingHCP's fetal and neonatal surface atlases to show the progression of cortical folding in the brain during the second half of gestation, with an appropriate soundtrack for good measure

Does noxious stimulation in early life shape the future brain connections that will underlie pain experience in adults? New research on rats in #JNeurosci from Chang, @LFabriziUCL, & @ProfMariaFitz suggests that the answer is yes.
