In keeping with the theme of time travel… now into the future: 🕰️ Another recent paper from the lab—a preregistered study with Isabel Schuman, Jingyi Wang & Ian Ballard @iancballard.bsky.social —is now published. Here, we looked at future orientation, decision making & anorexia nervosa risk.
Thanks @danacobblewis.bsky.social and @asapresearch.bsky.social for supporting and showcasing our work!
Interested in dopamine? Have fMRI data? We’ve identified a temporal BOLD feature that carries rich information about dopamine physiology. This measure, obtainable from resting-state and task fMRI, opens new ways to indirectly probe dopamine’s role in cognition and disease. 1/n tinyurl.com/bddyz67b
A bit late to post this... but what’s a delay when the paper’s in a special issue on Emotional Time Travel? 🙂 🕰️
Excited to share this work—led by postdoc Jingyi Wang—on how emotional event boundaries shape temporal memory.
New preprint 🚨🧠🔬
@sophiepeterson.bsky.social + @margole.bsky.social dissect the roles of 2 major OFC subcortical pathways in context-dependent reward prediction.
TLDR:
OFC→CDS: critical for hierarchical gating of predictions.
OFC→MDT: more modest role, possibly limiting non-hierarchical predictions

Spatial variations in dopamine function are linked to cognition and substance use disorders but are challenging to characterize with current methods. Because dopamine influences blood vessel dilation,...
Scientific Reports - Willing to wait: Anorexia nervosa symptomatology is associated with higher future orientation and reduced intertemporal discounting
When something exciting or threatening happens, it can change how we move. But how do emotional signals in the brain actually reach the parts that control movement? The well-known route for voluntary ...
Emotional fluctuations are ubiquitous in everyday life, but precisely how they sculpt the temporal organisation of memories remains unclear. Here, we designed a novel task – the Emotion Boundary Ta...
In this month's episode of Discover ASAP, neilmdundon.bsky.social, PhD, from CRN Team Strick, joins us to discuss his task-based human fMRI dataset examining the modulatory impact of incentivization and emotional salience on movement 🧪
