Heading to #ECCN2025 in London?

Don’t miss our symposium “New insights into premature infant EEG” on Wed Sept 10, 14:00–15:30

I’ll speak on how early cortical activity networks link to neurodevelopment. See you there!

Here’s a quick thread, which boils down to… timescale really matters when you’re talking about synergy and redundancy in the brain!

Geometric influences on the regional organization of the mammalian brain
The mammalian brain is comprised of anatomically and functionally distinct regions. Substantial work over the past century has pursued the generation of ever-more accurate maps of regional boundaries,...

📄 In our new study by Sebastian König and Co, we followed up on children who were exposed to #antiepileptics in utero and compared their cortical #EEG networks and neurophysiological outcomes assessed at six years of age to those of their peers:

Effect of in utero exposure to antiepileptic drugs on cortical networks and neurophysiological outcomes at 6 years
Objective The human brain undergoes an activity-dependent organization during late gestation, making it very sensitive to all effects on the spontaneous neuronal activity. Pregnant mothers with epil.....

Hello, Bluesky🦋! I am a researcher studying the development of the human newborn brain. My work focuses on understanding normal brain development as well as the impact of various risk factors and environmental influence on these processes. Also, I develop methods for analyzing biomedical signals.
