Beyond thrilled to share that I've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant to study the role of the human entorhinal cortex in episodic memory! 🎉🎉 🥳 🥳 🧠 🧠 Many thanks to my friends, colleagues and institutions who supported me along the way! @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG
📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out!

Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025!

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Brain Surfaces of 70 primate species
Awesome, congratulations!
Congratulations to both! Inspiring work

A big thank you to all those who have been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

Europe as “a haven” for US researcher - The EU’s research funding bodies are thinking of ways to welcome US scientists and European ex-patriots who might be looking for a more sympathetic place to work now that Donald Trump is in the White House

Look!
Thanks @fof.se for highlighting our research! 🙌 Using 7T MRI, Tobias Navarro-Schroeder (@kavlintnu.bsky.social) & I study #TransientGlobalAmnesia as a model for reversible #hippocampal inactivation & #memoryloss across disorders. #Transdiagnostic approach is 🔑 to study circuit-symptom relationships!
Med en kraftfull magnetkamera riktad mot tinningloberna vill norska forskare ta reda på vad i hjärnan som orsakar TGA, transitorisk global amnesi. I förlängningen kan kunskapen också leda till nya sätt att behandla demens.
Tusen takk May-Britt 🙏😊
Ricardo Insausti, a Giant in medial temporal lobe anatomy, has passed. Classical neuroanatomy is fading just as it becomes crucial for understanding brain circuits and symptoms. Grateful to Menno Witter and @hipposubfields.bsky.social for having interacted with him.

Super deserving of his award, @andreashorn.org identified specific tracts for specific diseases and even specific symptoms -> patient improvements in mx independent cohorts.

Showed a glimpse of a new atlas that we're building in Paris yesterday. Pretty excited about it and implications for network modeling.

What brain regions are involved in causing psychotic symptoms?

Take a moment away from the existential dread about the future of science, and join me in this summary of some incredibly cool stuff that could help patients!

Finally pulled off a great X-cape from the algorithmic abyss - now enjoying clearer skies here! Excited to (re)connect with fellow clinicians and researchers. 🙌
