1/n, Brief🧵 👇
Do not miss out on this opportunity!! Incredible lab, facilities, colleagues, and in particular, mentor!! 👇
💡1 PhD and 1 Postdoc position still open for joining my new lab @unige_en and help us re-defining the use of MRI for tracking biological processes #neuromodulation #fMRI #optogenetics #CellReplacementTherapy. Contact me for more information! Pls RT 🙏

Our perspective on the 'Neurobehavioral meaning of pupil size' is out now in Neuron! Come chat about it at my poster at #FENS2024
PS06-28PM-299 on Friday

Check our new Perspective “Neurobehavioral meaning of pupil size” out @NeuroCellPress l1nq.com/6cM2M
Fully Open Access!
An accessible discussion in addressing the question “What exactly does pupil size tell us about the brain?” is trickier to answer than it looks!! 👁️👁️
This work nicely complements a Forum article just published @TrendsNeuro by @c_strauch on the origins of pupillometry research!

🧠🧑💻New preprint from the lab🐭🧲: "Functional-based parcellation of the mouse prefrontal cortex for network perturbation analysis". We combined fMRI, chemogenetics and machine learning techniques
to pinpoint distinct functional networks within mice PFC.

🚨New pub!🚨 Is it possible to modulate sensory information processing in a non-invasive manner by modulating ongoing oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex in humans? Yes, we can!
Take a look at our Open Access pub @NatureHumBehav
👇👇

In additional experiments, we show that this modulation depends on the phase of low excitability fluctuations of the prefrontal cortex
For this and many other control experiments, analyses and details, take a look at our work

This is a truly interdisciplinary collaboration with @Valerio_Zerbi, exploring ways to enhance the focality of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation to target deep brain structures!
@Valerio_Zerbi, that is right: Modeling, ephys, and Temporal-Interfence during fMRI in🐭
🔥👇
🚨 NEW PREPRINT ALERT! 🧠 Dive into our 4-year exploration of Temporal Interference stimulation with @RafaPolania! ⚡️ Modeling, ephys, multi-electrode design, and the groundbreaking TI-fMRI in 🐭.
Could this unveil a minimally-invasive DBS alternative? 🌐 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
🚨New collab pub "The parietal cortex has a causal role in ambiguity computations in humans", just published @PLOSBiology. This was a fun 🌎 collaboration! A Herculean effort by my Chilean colleagues @pablobilleke & co. employing EEG, fMRI, TMS & Comp. Modeling!! 🔥
See 🧵👇
Happy that our article, 'The parietal cortex has a causal role in ambiguity computations in humans, ' was published today in @PLOSbiology! 📚 the #DCCS PhD work of @gvaldebenitoo and Maria Paz Martinez , with Antoni Valero-Cabre and @RafaPolania 👏 dlvr.it/T1DTYC (1/6)
