Altered sense of self in psychosis traced to the spinal cord
Altered sense of self in psychosis traced to the spinal cord
The brain typically filters out predictable, self-produced sensations like one's own touch. A study in Molecular Psychiatry provides evidence that this filtering is altered in psychosis.

Auditory illusory models as proxies to investigate bottom-up and top-down neural networks of phantom perception
Abstract. Auditory phantom perception, exemplified by tinnitus, is characterized by a perceptual experience without external stimuli. This study utilized two auditory illusions, the Zwicker Tone (ZT) ...

Neuroscientists identify key gatekeeper of human consciousness
Neuroscientists identify key gatekeeper of human consciousness
Using rare brain recordings from patients, scientists found that the thalamus helps trigger visual awareness. The study reveals that this deep brain region sends synchronized signals to the cortex, acting as a gateway for conscious perception.

Delighted to be a part of this session at @theichr.bsky.social sharing preliminary results from our ongoing TMS study. Huge thank you to @parkbmb.bsky.social for hosting at the fantastic Vanderbilt University.
Session 3 has seen some excellent work on predictive coding, speech, voices and cortical excitability. Thank you Judy Thompson @haydnjfarrelly.bsky.social @franziskaknolle.bsky.social & Ana Pinheiro!

Trypophobia triggers stronger disgust than fear, new study shows
Trypophobia—the discomfort some feel when seeing clustered holes—may be more about disgust than fear, according to new research that supports an evolutionary link to disease avoidance.

- Unclear if AVH is truly the most common! It's typically what gets targeted for treatment.
