Genomics & Mental Health Research Day 2026 is taking place tomorrow at @newnhamcollege.bsky.social.
Hosted by the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and the NHS Genomics and Mental Health Network of Excellence, it explores post-diagnostic challenges in rare neurodevelopmental conditions.
Questionnaires need to be relevant and accessible. The CamQUAIT is designed with these goals in mind. This new questionnaire measures apathy and impulsivity in people with frontotemporal dementia,providing a helpful outcome measure to test symptomatic treatments: Doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0345545
Using a stochastic dynamical model, Grodem et al show that, before age 60, inter-individual differences in neuroanatomical volumes almost exclusively reflect stable differences between individuals, rather than systematic differences in rate-of-change:

Intracranial electrophysiology and multivariate decoding reveal that all spectral frequencies of neural activity encode semantic information:

Congratulations to CBU Director, Prof. Matthew Lambon Ralph, on receiving an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Málaga, recognising his internationally leading work on language, semantic cognition and aphasia, and long standing Cambridge–Málaga collaboration.
Across 1,000+ people, eating disorder symptoms were linked to “empathic disequilibrium”, feeling others’ emotions strongly while finding them harder to understand. Heightened emotional reactivity helped explain the link: DOI.org/10.1186/s40337-026-01600-2

Delighted to celebrate today @jvonseth.bsky.social from @mrccbu.bsky.social passing her PhD viva. Special thanks to examiners @olafhauk.bsky.social and @pattiadank.bsky.social for asking all the right questions
Applications Open! We are looking for a motivated summer intern to support a podcast in development in collaboration with the Plasticity Lab, exploring what restorative, assistive, and augmentative neurotechnology reveals about hidden human capacity 🦾 Full details here: forms.office.com/e/PDjanEYkSE

Code (python) is available at github: github.com/rl671/heterorc
Should be readily applicable to your own EEG/MEG decoding pipelines!
Great collaboration with @alexwoolgar.bsky.social @rhens.bsky.social , Sichao, Yanan, and John, during my time at @mrccbu.bsky.social & @theneuro.bsky.social ! (6/6)
Así vivimos el jueves la ceremonia de nombramiento como 🎓 Doctor Honoris Causa por la UMA del neurocientífico Matthew A. Lambon.
