Phenotypically suited for hibernation. Logically, study mammalian sleep.

A new analysis in Science of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains.

This may help explain why some psychiatric and neurological disorders appear to affect the biological sexes differently, researchers report. https://t.co/0UyPE6Sz9d

While this doesn't surprise many, what does this tell us about science, family and career compatibility versus active decisions to change a lifestyle post parenthood?

[nature @Nature]

Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s

Wow, what an impact this will have for patients and their families. https://t.co/KiPBswdeU0

Why it should be mandatory to have open discussions about contributions and effort investment at the start, not at the end or a 'lets see'. Teamwork is undervalued and is paramount for success. Authorships evolve over time but honest starting points are a necessity

Moved house and it's like the 00s again- no Internet and standing as close to a window as possible in hopes of phone reception WFH currently off the table...

🔔🔵After nearly 5 years from its conception with @BohacekLab, I'm proud to share that our paper on opto-fMRI of the Locus Coeruleus is finally published in @NatureNeuro! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed—including reviewers and editors!

Join me in celebrating 100 years of EEG, please retweet!

On July 6th, 1924 Hans Berger recorded the first EEG on a human, only published in 1929. This invention of the EEG has resulted in many clinical applications ranging from diagnosing epilepsy and sleep disorders to Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI/BCI), neurofeedback and EEG as the first clinically actionable biomarker in precision and stratified psychiatry.

What's your favorite application of EEG?

I feel this

[Rhiannan Williams @NAPSsci]

@jackie_derose Empty spaces are wake periods essentially (of baby). Maybe very brief sleep eg 1-2min I missed; leisure = walks with baby to get him to sleep during day, although hoping 'routine' becomes better. Any work is still a challenge..as is eating (he smells my food so wants his!)

[Rhiannan Williams @NAPSsci]

Baby Emrys stats (av14 days): age 7w6d, eats ~28 times a day, av25 min per session; sleep av 9h20, ~9blocks, majority (7h) occuring between 8pm and 7am. Some nights sleep < 5hrs. Nappies ~7 a day. The sleep deprivation experimenter is now the subject....(Records not 💯 accurate)
