Happy to see the last piece of my postdoc work at @ccniuofg.bsky.social out in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

We show that the motor network supports the associative mapping allowing the transfer of serial structure from motor skill to word-list memory.

A common serial structure causes offline excitability changes linked to generalization between different memory types
Failla et al. show that forming an associative mapping between motor elements and word categories bridges the divide between different memory systems, allowing a learned motor skill to be translated i...

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...
Brain rhythms in cognition -- controversies and future directions
Brain rhythms seem central to understanding the neurophysiological basis of human cognition. Yet, despite significant advances, key questions remain unresolved. In this comprehensive position paper, w...

New paper out!

This @cellpress.bsky.social @STARProtocols may be particularly useful for those new to TMS-EEG, as it provides a detailed step-by-step guide on data collection and analysis.

Happy that my first post here is also my first study as part of my Marie Curie fellowship, now available on bioRxiv!

Check it out, especially if you're interested in beta oscillations and the role of the cerebellum in sensorimotor predictions:
