One of the last projects of my PhD looking into insular functional segregation in depression is finally out as a preprint 🙏👇 Have a look and let us know what you think! #neuroskyence
New preprint...and this one is truly EPIC 🚨.
Using a large group of patients with depression and healthy controls (N>800), we show differences in the functional segregation of insular subnetworks. And we can use it to classify!

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans.
Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

🚨📃New Wassum Lab Paper📃🚨
Out today, @jackiegio.bsky.social discovered brain pathways that support agency and habit and how chronic stress disrupts them to rob of us our agency and cause us to form rigid habits 🧵👇

Humans are curious not just about the world, but also about their own minds. In our new paper, we describe a specific form of curiosity in which people strategically seek information not only about their decisions but also about the accuracy of their self-evaluations. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Check out this👇 amazing new python tool for Bayesian modelling, lead-developed by @nicolaslegrand.bsky.social - it includes (among many other things) all elements of the generalised HGF (arxiv.org/abs/2305.10937) for you to use and apply. Can't wait to see what the community will do with it! 🚀
