How does a „split“ homunculus model change our view on #brain #health ? In this #viewpoint I give my perspective on the organizational principles of human S1 & M1 gained with #UHF #MRI in recent years & their clinical implications Happy reading 👉

In spite of so many fantastic, excellent & brilliant #women in #neuroscience research who drive forward the field on a cutting edge there still seems to be a long way to go Data are from #chatgpt (hope AI is wrong this time) #InternationalWomensDay

Thanks for featuring my article on layer dependent changes across the lifespan, it was indeed unexpected that our layer 4 expands with age. Perhaps this holds therapeutic or preventive potential? Here is the associated link pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown):

Thanks to all (co)authors & reviewers for their contribution to this study on #layer specific changes in #sensory #cortex across the #lifespan in #humans & #mice now out in @natneuro.nature.com Here is a short summary of our findings 1/6
🧠 The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cortex responsible for the sense of touch. See study @natneuro.nature.com by @estherkuehn.bsky.social and colleagues at DZNE, @hih-tuebingen.bsky.social and @uni-magdeburg.de:

Layer-specific changes in sensory cortex across the lifespan in mice and humans - Nature Neuroscience
The principal layer architecture of the sensory cortex is altered with aging. The authors show that overall thinning of the primary somatosensory cortex is driven by deep layer degeneration but that l...

New in LayNii v2.9.0: Introducing *LayNii IDA*, a high-performance tool for real-time interaction with ultra–high resolution MRI data. Built for speed, designed for discovery. Still early, but a big step toward the next era of 7T fMRI: higher resolution, larger datasets.
