This is the second big paper from my lab this year and resumes TMS targets across 4’283 patients w Schizophrenia, upcoming in Molecular Psychiatry 🧲🧠
Great work led by Lorina Sinanaj&Kostas Pallis at Synapsy Center Neuroscience and Mental Health Research🤩

#SOBP25 was great fun and easily one of the best conferences in the last years - so happy to catch up with friends and colleagues and speak also on my favorite brain region: the cerebellum! 🩵

Our new paper is out. We point out that large brained (and often smart) mammals and birds have evolved very different distribution of neurons numbers in the brain.
This means that similar cognitive abilities have evolved in very different brains.

🚀🚀🔥🔥 we got this!
You know you found a cool collaborator when each meeting you learn something and leave motivated enough to still draft ideas at 10 pm… +🔥 ❤️
👩🔬🧠 @indritbegue.bsky.social and I are cooking up something quite fun!

It’s really heart breaking to realize just how much our short horizon, outcome focused funding cycles hurt science. We could do so much more if we could invest in people long term. Staff scientist positions and an ecosystem to support them are direly needed.

Fantastic talk by @indrit_begue making the case that we should look at the cerebellum to treat schizophrenia using neuromodulation! #optodbs2024

One of my most intricate and painfully made pieces. This is the "Purkinje bear", composed of the 37 neurons individually, and manually cut in different woods. #neuroscience #brain #cerebellum #sciart

I too really enjoyed grad school 🤓👩💻 - I LOVED scientific conversations with coffee, discussing experiments and hypotheses. Honestly, few things beat analysing freshly acquired data on a newly designed experiment 🧠
I also loved graduate school 💙!
This “being happy in grad school” became nearly taboo on the other site… (only “hating grad school” became cool). I’m happy to see people being able to say PhD life was a positive experience for them!
Who else enjoyed graduate school?! 🧪🧠👩🔬🦋 #neuroscience #phdlife

Not many people would say that grad school was the best five years of their life, but I loved every second of getting my PhD in the @robertsneuro.bsky.social lab. I’m packing up my things to move today and feeling so grateful for my people—it’s been an absolute honor. ❤️ 🧪 🧠

my lab in Japan will run till at least 2025. my job has been nothing but the dream job. but hopefully the above explains it.

How many people do you need to scan to get robust estimates for multivariate methods such as CCA and PLS?
The sobering answer is: likely several thousand (there is a calculator now)

These Purkinje cell look like trees are awesome.
A ‘red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning’ day. It even started raining as I watched the dawn. The sun never actually rose. Almost there, it was then swallowed in heavy grey clouds.
