Listening in the Moment: How Bilingualism Interacts With Task Demands to Shape Active Listening

This suggests to me that bilingualism requires more brainstem participation in language.

An upside-down binding mode to treat psychosis

Agonism of the D1 will ultimately strengthen hippocampal CA1 strength, with the circuit ultimately increasing stimulation to the dorsal raphe in the brainstem.

Visible Human Project® female surface based computational phantom (Nelly) for radio-frequency safety evaluation in MRI coils

I didn’t know this existed! Dope!

Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Multiple System Atrophy: A Systematic Review

Huh, looks like the montage I’ve been using for the last few months is one of the few that actually shows consistent system-wide effect. I keep looking for ways to improve it but I guess it makes sense that other than circuit level stimulation this is about as good as it’s going to get for non-invasive stimulation. Basically, if we aren’t stimulating the cerebellum we’re mostly wasting our time. Stimulating/Inhibiting the cerebro-cerebellum at the same time we stimulate/inhibit the the cerebrum is going to induce system level effect we can target to particular systems. I’ve been meaning to formalize the montage for awhile, maybe this will finally be the motivation to do so.

Learning and attention increase visual response selectivity through distinct mechanisms

Whaaat? Interdependent networks instead of localized function? Get out of town.
