We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task.
Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

I’m sure you’ve always wondered how reliable Granger causality of source reconstructed MEG really is. Better yet, you surely wonder how to improve it. You’re in luck, I’ve just arrived at @meguki2025.bsky.social to discuss it. All jokes aside, meet me at poster 38 if you’re interested. 👋🏼🧠

Context-dependent modulations of subthalamo-cortical synchronization during rapid reversals of movement direction in Parkinson’s disease
Beta synchrony between motor cortex and the subthalamic nucleus is intensified when instructional cues within a continuous motor sequence become less predictable, calling for more cautious behavior.
