Donders Institute
🧠 Roshan Cools appointed Director of the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging.
Cools knows the institute inside out. After 9 years in Cambridge and Berkeley, she returned to Nijmegen in 2007 because she believed it was the best place to do cognitive neuroscience: 👇

🧠 🎉 How does the brain create meaning? @martinavinck.bsky.social received an ERC Consolidator to study how brain areas collaborate for thought, attention, and consciousness.
📍 Nijmegen is ideal, combining computational and experimental neuroscience with top PhDs: 👇

🧠 Doctoral Network grant for DESTINIES, led by Judith Homberg (Radboudumc). Globally, 20–30% of the population is highly sensitive. DESTINIES will train researchers and study how this trait develops and functions in the brain. 👉

🧠 Brain signals linked to intelligence in developing children
New research led by Gianina Cristian (Radboudumc) shows that subtle patterns in children’s brain activity are linked to intelligence. These findings were strongest during adolescence:

🧠 A nudge in the right direction
A recent study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates that focused transcranial ultrasound (#FUS) can stimulate the brain ánd influence human behaviour — all without surgery or implants. 🎯 Read more: 👇

Donders Institute
Neuroscientist Soha Farboud of the Donders Institute at Radboud University has succeeded in adjusting activity in specific brain areas using a new technique.
Hoe creëert het brein betekenis uit de enorme hoeveelheid informatie die het voortdurend binnenkrijgt? Volgens neurowetenschapper Martin Vinck ligt het antwoord in large-scale integratie.
On 1 March, Roshan Cools was appointed scientific director of the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (DCCN), one of the six partners of the Donders Institute. She succeeds Alan Sanfey, who has ...

Our gut sends signals to the brain about hunger and fullness, but we still do not understand well how the gut–brain connection affects eating when people eat without being hungry.

Subtle patterns in children’s brain activity can predict individual differences in intelligence, a new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience shows.
