Natural behavior unfolds as a continuous stream of actions. Because these actions often occur in rapid succession, the brain must prepare multiple future actions while the current action is being executed. Our TICS piece explores how this works.

very cool. this nucleus has a role in nociception and pain
Baal et al. find that [18F]FTC-146 PET/MRI of sigma-1 receptor identified peripheral pain generators of complex regional pain syndrome, subsequently guided targeted treatments, and achieved varying degrees of improvements. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4ud9JEK
Happy to share that StimulEYE found its home at the TMS journal:

In our 30th year, absolutely ticked pink to receive our third successive Platform Support Grant in support of Western's Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping. A testament to the amazing technical staff in this unique-in-Canada facility. Co-funded with @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social
In this week’s #PAIN Featured Image, Chowdhury et al. compare stimulation intensities on brain electrical fields and implications for 2 competing hypotheses. Learn more at bit.ly/4e0l4Tv

Really delighted to get copies of our new book, Elements of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
A labor of love over the past 10 years, along with @fmristats.

Amazing job by @vmliu.bsky.social mapping the human A13, a dopaminergic cluster within the zona incerta.
We would welcome comments and suggestions on this #preprint.

1/ A deep brain region known as the A13 plays a central role across a diverse range of behavioural functions (in rodents).
To our knowledge, no human homologue has been identified to date.
In this #preprint, we map the human A13!🎯

New preprint out, where we show that TMS-induced pupil dilations can be used as a measurable proxy of cortical excitability.
