Cognition, mood and sleep in people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The CUMULUS BPD study registered at #ISRCTN by @lzatkinson @OxPsychiatry @CumulusNeuro @Boehringer

#ClinicalTrials

[Lauren Atkinson @lzatkinson]

Excited to be working with such great collaborators on this project. We are exploring how at-home #EEG, alongside measures of mood and actigraphy, can enhance quantitative insights about day-to-day experiences for patients with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder #BPD.

[Boehringer Ingelheim @Boehringer]

#NEWS: Together with @OxPsychiatry and @CumulusNeuro, we are investigating new wearable technology. This will help gain insights into brain activity of people living with psychiatric disorders and develop new #PrecisionPsychiatry treatments.

Data analysis is hard. We tried to make it easier (for M/EEG)!

We developed a toolbox based on MNE-Python to make preprocessing, source recon, and other analysis easier, and more efficient, transparent, and reproducible.

It's called osl-ephys - check it out! (links below)

Evidence demonstrating microstructural abnormalities in the brainstem following COVID-19 hospitalisation

[Brain @Brain1878]

Using 7T MRI in patients who were previously hospitalized with COVID-19, Rua et al. reveal abnormalities in specific regions of the brainstem linked to more severe acute disease, inflammation, and poor recovery. https://t.co/VejzMJFTBC

Who says festival season is over? 🎸📷🥁

Presenting the hottest lineup in town!

We're so excited to welcome these speakers to @unibirmingham on October 28th-31st for QMAG, QMEG and MEG-UKI 2024.

Stay tuned: We may be adding some Special Guests to this lineup soon😉

[@covidcns @covidcns]

Congratulations to the @covidcns team on the latest research out in @NatureMedicine today! Showing that post-COVID cognitive deficits were equivalent to 20 years of normal ageing. 👉https://t.co/ghDkwEYFHG

Regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood, according to research in @NatureNeuro: https://t.co/vsxdFHDHBM

[@BrainComms @braincomms]

Atkinson et al. report a selective impairment in long term memory performance in individuals recovering from mild #COVID19 infection which improved with days since diagnosis. @nzokaei @KiaNobre @lzatkinson @thome_jude

[Adam Hampshire @ProfHampshire]

Our paper on cognition and memory after Covid-19 in a large community sample is now out in @NEJM. Thanks to participants, coauthors, editors, logistic and media people at Imperial, @Ipsos and @iamcognitron, who made this work possible. @ImperialBrains https://t.co/s9m1SBRmVh

[Lauren Atkinson @lzatkinson]

Interested in spectral analysis? This one is for you!

Check out our new paper! Great to have collaborated with @AndrewJohnQuinn and colleagues at @OHBA_Oxford🧠

[Imaging Neuroscience @ImagingNeurosci]

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Andrew J. Quinn, Mark W. Woolrich, et al:

The GLM-spectrum: A multilevel framework for spectrum analysis with covariate and confound modelling

https://t.co/1uwkgPHga4

[Lauren Atkinson @lzatkinson]

I can confirm, this is great!! 🤩

[Chetan Gohil @Chetan__Gohil]

Are you interested in studying networks and dynamics in your neuroimaging data?

Do you wish there was an open source Python toolbox that made this easy?

If so, check out our brand new toolbox: osl-dynamics (https://t.co/1m4WXBTOoM).

[Greta Karen Wood @gkwood3]

Do cognitive deficits persist after COVID-19 and, if so, what is their biological basis?

Our NEW pre-print under review in @NaturePortfolio https://t.co/4JPGfeaSiB

We report one-year cognitive, serum biomarker, and neuroimaging findings in 351 patients

A thread 1/n

[Andrew Quinn @AndrewJohnQuinn]

More details and a tutorial overview in the paper...

Many thanks to all involved! @lzatkinson @Chetan__Gohil @kohliver @JemmyPitt @CathaZich @KiaNobre @markwoolrich

[Andrew Quinn @AndrewJohnQuinn]

A new preprint! Ever used pwelch, or signal.welch?

1960s stats for spectra are widely used today though statistical methods have greatly advanced. We modernise this with the GLM-spectrum...

Here is a short blog post on how I feel these days...as me and a lot of my Iranian friends outside Iran continue to bounce between hope and despair, a million times a day.

I write this tweet with a heavy heart... as I write this, university students in the top university of Iran are rounded up on university grounds and are being slaughtered... please take notice and support them #Mahsa_Amini @UniofOxford
