ICYMI, @SnBuenafe and @NeubertS1 knocked our socks off last night during their Spatial Workflows workshop! 🗺️🐢 You can find the event recording, slides, and workshop materials all on our GitHub: https://t.co/aSFIYpR8z3

[Sandra Neubert @NeubertS1]

Excited to team up with @SnBuenafe to geek out over spatial data analysis and prioritization in R 🗺️ Thanks for hosting us @RLadiesSB !

[R-Ladies Santa Barbara @RLadiesSB]

We are delighted to have @SnBuenafe and @NeubertS1 share their spatial data prowess with us during our upcoming session: Spatial Workflows in R 🌏 Join us on Thursday 7/11 from 5:30-7 PDT! RSVP here: https://t.co/iCHRoNtK2r

[Sandra Neubert @NeubertS1]

Very happy to share that I will start my PhD in multiple-use spatial planning @UqEnvironment and @UniofExeter as part of the next @QUEX_PhD cohort! I'll be working with an amazing supervisor team from both unis @ Anthony Richardson @_KMETCALFE @danielcdunn @jaseeverett

Mangroves provide ecosystem services but are threatened by anthropogenic activities. Dabalà et al. show that biodiversity can be protected whilst maximising ecosystem benefits, with little or no increase in the protected area required.

[1/4] I am extremely happy to share our latest paper published in @NatureCommunications: “Priority areas to protect mangroves and maximise ecosystem services”. Here, we show the benefits of incorporating ecosystem services in protected areas design.

[1/5] Late to the party because I was busy proofing the typeset version… but here it is! After ~1.5 years of work, we’ve finally published our research: "A metric-based framework for climate-smart conservation planning" in @ESAApplications

New & #OpenAccess in @ESAApplications:

Very happy to finally see this out in @NeuroImage_EiC! It was a fantastic experience to observe how @RegReports really enforce thinking about all the intricacies of a research project before starting the data acquisition. Also, big kudos to the team @neuroMADLAB 🙌

While we need to stay at home, you can join the fight against pathogens. How? By playing @Influenca_game! Your task is to find the best medication in an ever-changing environment. Grow your virtual lab and help us science on by playing & RT #wevsvirus https://t.co/TfNtl4U9Bq

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (6) In sum, we found an impaired segregation of functionally distinct signaling in the insula. This increased reliance on interoceptive signals linked to the anterior insula might contribute to the pathophysiology in depression. #OHBMx https://t.co/fqvgIpYzyr

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (5) Crucially, we found a greater similarity in FC profiles across insular subregions in depression which was specific to the insula and driven by the anterior insula. #OHBMx

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (4) Patients suffering from depression showed less distinct FC profiles compared to healthy participants, indicative of less segregation. #OHBMx

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (3) We calculated similarity (correlation) and density (shift function) for 6 insular subregions (anterior vs posterior) based on resting-state fMRI in N=850. A greater similarity in functional connectivity (FC) profiles would then indicate a loss of segregation. #OHBMx

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (2) Distinct subregions for interoceptive and exteroceptive processing have been shown in the insula. So, if we measure the insula with fMRI at rest, can we find evidence for an impaired segregation between insular subregions in depression? #OHBMx

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

@OHBMequinoX @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae (1) Sensing their bodily state is often difficult for people with depression. Such imbalances in interoceptive vs exteroceptive processing have been associated with signaling in the insular cortex. But what makes the insula special? #OHBMx https://t.co/dusj6Izpdx

Do you want to learn about insular connectivity profiles in depression? Are you a scientist who desperately wants to attend a cool conference or just self-isolating at home and interested in some fancy science? Either way, join @glassybrain and me for our slot @OHBMequinoX

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

It's @OHBMequinoX tomorrow! So if you want to hear a tale on 850 rs-fMRI scans, a bunch of determined scientists, 6 regions of interest and 1 theory to put to the test, join me & @neuro_bird at 15:15 (UTC). There'll be brains @cornu_copiae @neuroMADLAB #OHBMx

[Vanessa Teckentrup | @glassybrain.bsky.social @glassybrain]

Just submitted an abstract w\ @neuro_bird @cornu_copiae et al. to @OHBMequinoX. Last time was amazing, so looking forward to more stunning #sciencefromthesofa #OHBMX

[Nils Kroemer @cornu_copiae]

Our first vagus nerve stimulation paper is published @brainstimj now. We show that acute taVNS reduces gastric frequency highlighting efferent effects of VNS. Work w/ @glassybrain & @neuro_bird. @tvns_digest https://t.co/VqB5QVEneC

[Monja Neuser @eudaimonja]

Metabolic states guide effort, but what is the role of the vagus nerve in it? We show that non-invasive stimulation of vagal afferents boosts the vigor to work for rewards. Work fast to breakfast w/ @glassybrain @cornu_copiae et al. https://t.co/8zBrtEtwZm
