When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m extremely excited that this work of 3 years is finally published in @braistimjournal.bsky.social. Using condition-and-perturb TMS with e-field-based optimized targeting and dosing, we provide causal evidence for hybrid theories of semantic cognition: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

🧠 How do semantic and executive control dissociate in the frontal lobe? Applying TMS to IFG and pre-SMA, we find: ⚡ Specialization ▸ IFG = semantic (and executive) control ▸ pre-SMA = executive functions 🔄 Compensation between both regions during single-site disruption! Read more: shorturl.at/UVtRk

Causal Contributions of Left Inferior and Medial Frontal Cortex to Semantic and Executive Control
Semantic control guides the targeted and context-based retrieval from semantic memory. The overlap with and dissociation from domain-general executive control in the frontal lobe remains contentious. ...

Executive Resources Shape the Effects of Language Predictability Across the Adult Lifespan
Humans predict upcoming language effortlessly, but the cognitive costs of these predictions remain debated. In this study, we demonstrate that limiting executive resources through a concurrent task re...

For the first time, we are able to demonstrate reliable target- and intensity-specific HBC modulation across multiple NCG-TMS 2.0 sessions.

Postdoc @drsandramartin.bsky.social presented her research on aging effects on predictive processing in language at the Dallas Aging and Cognition Conference this week. Results show that as we age, we increasingly rely on our internal predictions, possibly as compensation for executive decline. 1/2
