Changes in the female brain during menopause contrast sharply with those seen during pregnancy and puberty, according to research in Nature Communications. go.nature.com/4qZRLoJ #Neuroskyence 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows monthly rates of gray matter volume change across three female hormonal transitions.

It's a wrap on our 2-month pilot for dense-sampling MEG + physio, sleep EEG, and cardiorespiratory interoception across the menstrual cycle! Incredible job by @janafehring.bsky.social, Mia Höfig, Alina Kacharovskaya, Sana Khatib and everyone at @bodybrainbehaviour.bsky.social On to more data! 🧠🟦
Three researchers are sitting in the MEG control room, running and observing an ongoing recording.A group of researchers and a volunteer participant face the camera inside the MEG shielded room after having concluded a recording session.

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT
Top: Experimental set up. Single pulses of TMS were applied to the hand area of the right primary motor cortex with an inter-pulse interval randomized between 6 and 10 s. Simultaneously, the neuronavigated coil position (yellow), electrocardiogram (red), respiratory signal (blue), electrogastrogram (green), and electromyography from the left hand (gray) were recorded. The figure shows traces of a 20-s time segment from one participant of the cardiac (raw), respiratory (filtered), gastric (filtered), and EMG (raw) signals. The experimental measure was the Motor Evoked Potential amplitude measured on a hand muscle (first dorsal interosseous), analyzed against the phase of the cardiac, respiratory, and gastric rhythms. Note that the three rhythms have very different periods (~1 s for the heart, ~ 5 s for respiration, and ~20 s for the gastric rhythm). Bottom: Artwork illustrating how rhythms of the internal organs interact with the moment-to-moment fluctuations observed in corticospinal motor excitability. Image depicts an outline of a brain with representations of the three rhythmic organs influencing the motor system: the heart, lungs, and stomach. Image credit: Tahnée Engelen.

Undoubtedly the most massive group effort I was ever lucky to be involved in. Led by the ever-unwavering @annekeitel.bsky.social, this preprint synthesizes the status quo of what we (don't) know about neural oscillations. Grateful to be part of the @scone-neuro.bsky.social network. #neuroskyence
