Check out this new study by the fantastic @rongbi.bsky.social in the lab 🥳 👇 Rong carefully analysed human effort traces to gain insight into how we form and update priors about required effort when effort is not signalled and has to be learnt in environments differing in volatility and noise.

We are very excited about this work 🥳 This is the 1st human TUS study from our lab (Motivation, Decision and NeuroStimulation @ox.ac.uk @oxcin.bsky.social), and the ability to non-invasively and precisely target deep brain regions opens up a vast, largely unexplored space in human neuroscience.

🧠 Focused ultrasound changes emotional processing 🔊 In a new study published in Neuron today, we stimulated the human amygdala using transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) and show it plays a causal role in detecting and resolving emotional ambiguity.

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

We are super excited about the first human transcranial ultrasound study from our lab which is now on BiorXiv, showing the amygdala‘s role in processing ambiguous emotions and showing TUS changed resting-state connectivity and metabolite concentrations (GABA) in the amygdala - a huge team effort! 🥳🙏🏼

New paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hailey looked at switches between reward- and threat-oriented behaviour using 7T neuroimaging and found a network involving habenula, dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), anterior cingulate cortex, and anterior insula cortex mediated these transitions. Hope you find it interesting! ☺️
