Great coverage by @projo on deep brain stimulation for stroke by @CarneyInstitute affiliate and @BrownUnivHealth surgeon Wael Asaad. The @ClevelandClinic trial, now available in RI, is testing whether electric current in the brain can help with stroke recovery. #BrownBrainScience
Investigators at Brown University Health are studying whether an implant in the brain can help improve hand movement for people who have had strokes.

35 years of studies argue that kids assume word meanings are mutually exclusive. In @PsychScience, @gaborbrody, Athulya Aravind, and I argue kids aren't making an assumption. We show 2y.o. only think words are mutually exclusive when they're told so. 1/ https://t.co/pdrSe2pPKw

How do children learn what a word means when its uses are consistent with many possible meanings? One influential idea is that children rely on an inductive bias that ensures that novel words get...

It's an honour to have been selected to deliver this fantastic mini-symposium during the #SFN24 Our speakers are ready to show: 🥰 how the cerebellum is enrolled in much more than motor tasks 📡 how it communicates with other brain areas ⚕️ its roles in health and disease

Check out our review on how the prefrontal cortex integrates memory systems across timescales to guide adaptive behavior! And we detail the many plastic changes observed in PFC with learning and training, from single neurons to brain-wide activity patterns

We have a new preprint with @kazuhi_s_ , Takahiro Nishio, and @BadreLab! “Practice Reshapes the Geometry and Dynamics of Task-tailored Representations.”

Extensive practice makes task performance more efficient and precise, leading to automaticity. However, theories of automaticity differ on which levels of task representations (e.g., low-level...
