It has been suggested that there could be an association between age-related hearing loss and an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. By initially focusing on healthy individuals, our study aims to enhance our understanding of the hippocampus's role in auditory processing.

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

I'm happy to share that I have received an R21 grant from the NIDCD to investigate connectivity between hippocampus and auditory cortex in noisy speech processing. We will utilize 7T fMRI to examine layer-specific cortical activity, aiming to uncover FF/FB mechanisms involved.

[Hearing Research Center, Boston University @BUHearing]

Announcing our Fall Seminar Series! Join us Fridays to learn about these researchers new work in hearing and neuroscience.
Beginning tomorrow with Kaisu Lankinen @klankine from MGH Martinos: "Using 7T fMRI and MEG to examine functional properties of the human auditory pathways."

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

The responses elicited by auditory and visual stimuli were consistent with feedforward and feedback type of input patterns observed in animal models. The results extend our knowledge of neural underpinnings of cross-sensory processing

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

Our study about cross-sensory visual evoked activity in auditory cortex is out!

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

Human brain sensory areas, which process external and internal sensory information, are influenced by inputs from other regions. By combining MEG and computational modeling, we characterized the inputs arriving to auditory cortex when auditory or visual stimuli were presented

What happens in the brain (#MEG) during paradoxical thinking about others? and how it may impact our emotions towards others.

New layer-fMRI preprint that applies graph-theory analyses on resting-state layer-fMRI data.
Kotlarz et al. conclude that superficial layers have more influence on information transfer.

[Human Neocortical Neurosolver @HNNsolver]

We are excited to share our latest paper published in JOSS! HNN-core: A Python software for cellular and circuit-level interpretation of human MEG/EEG. https://t.co/2ShlsxB19J

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

I will present our work on characterization of feedforward and feedback influences in auditory cortex using layer-specific 7T fMRI, MEG and computational modeling at SfN tomorrow Nov 14 at 1 pm EST in WCC room 152B

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

In addition, the perceived sound categories could be decoded from the regions activated during speech production

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

I am happy to share our newest publication that provides insight into the role of articulatory motor networks in speech perception

https://t.co/4u7lidktCA

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

We recorded BOLD signals from speech production and perception tasks using 7T fMRI. The similar brain regions in the left precentral, premotor and inferior frontal cortex were activated during speech production and perception

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

Our results support the hypothesis that the articulatory-motor networks in the left hemisphere that activate during speech production also play a role in the perceptual categorization of acoustic signals.

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

Our paper about 7T fMRI -guided TMS targeting in speech-motor cortex is out: https://t.co/0HJQDPVmoK

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

We used Fast Multipole Method to individually estimate the distribution of TMS-induced E-field on articulatory motor area defined using 7T fMRI. We found that the performance of the subjects in a behavioral task was affected right after the continuous theta-burst stimulation.

Congratulations to the Center's Jyrki Ahveninen, PhD, on receiving the 2023 Jim Thrall, MD Mentoring Award - Research Faculty! We checked in with Jyrki to learn about his experiences with mentoring: https://t.co/blrbdkUQjH @MGHImaging @MGH_RI

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

Highly recommended!

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

We found that the shapes of the depth profiles in response to auditory and visual stimuli were different. This could reflect sensory-specific feedforward vs. cross-sensory feedback influences in the auditory cortex

[Kaisu Lankinen @klankine]

I am happy to share our recent work on intracortical BOLD depth profiles in the auditory cortex:
