Beyond thrilled to share that I've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant to study the role of the human entorhinal cortex in episodic memory! 🎉🎉 🥳 🥳 🧠 🧠 Many thanks to my friends, colleagues and institutions who supported me along the way! @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

Morph between rat (Waxholm) & human (MNI) brains in 3D — a novel tool for scientists & clinicians laying the groundwork for translational neuroscience at systems levels. 🧪 Want to test it? 📩 thadshap@stud.ntnu.no / eirinsvi@stud.ntnu.no

A big thank you to all those who have been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

Europe as “a haven” for US researcher - The EU’s research funding bodies are thinking of ways to welcome US scientists and European ex-patriots who might be looking for a more sympathetic place to work now that Donald Trump is in the White House

Look!

Ricardo Insausti, a Giant in medial temporal lobe anatomy, has passed. Classical neuroanatomy is fading just as it becomes crucial for understanding brain circuits and symptoms. Grateful to Menno Witter and @hipposubfields.bsky.social for having interacted with him.

Super deserving of his award, @andreashorn.org identified specific tracts for specific diseases and even specific symptoms -> patient improvements in mx independent cohorts.

Showed a glimpse of a new atlas that we're building in Paris yesterday. Pretty excited about it and implications for network modeling.

Thanks @fof.se for highlighting our research! 🙌 Using 7T MRI, Tobias Navarro-Schroeder (@kavlintnu.bsky.social) & I study #TransientGlobalAmnesia as a model for reversible #hippocampal inactivation & #memoryloss across disorders. #Transdiagnostic approach is 🔑 to study circuit-symptom relationships!

🚀 We’re hiring a PhD Candidate!
Join CBS (www.ntnu.edu/inb/cbs) to work with a multidisciplinary team using #7TMRI, #sEEG, and #MachineLearning in patients with #epilepsy.
📍 Trondheim, Norway.
📆 Deadline: March 18, 2025.

What brain regions are involved in causing psychotic symptoms?

Take a moment away from the existential dread about the future of science, and join me in this summary of some incredibly cool stuff that could help patients!

Finally pulled off a great X-cape from the algorithmic abyss - now enjoying clearer skies here! Excited to (re)connect with fellow clinicians and researchers. 🙌
