Abstract Germ‐free rodents, raised in the absence of a measurable gut microbiome, have been a key model to study the microbiome‐gut‐brain axis. Germ free mice exhibit marked behavioural and neurochemical differences to their conventionally…

Abstract Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by rapid behavioral and physiological changes, including enhanced vulnerability to stress. Recent studies using rodent models of adolescence have demonstrated age differences in…

In this work we describe the association of a novel homozygous VPS11 variant with adult‐onset generalized dystonia, providing a detailed clinical report and biological evidence of disease mechanism. Vps11 is a subunit of the HOPS complex,…

An intraoperative Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI) perfusion map of the left hemisphere of a living human brain (frontal lobe to the left, occipital lobe to the right) at a mean arterial pressure of 72 mmHg during hemicraniectomy. By adjusting…

Abstract The VEP has been shown to reflect the size of the neural population activated by a processing mechanism selective to the temporal – and spatial luminance contrast property of a stimulus. We set out to better understand how the…

Abstract Previous studies have shown that the probability of task switching can vary the level of cognitive control and modulate the size of switch costs. However, it is unclear whether switch costs would be affected by a task‐repetition…

Abstract Temporal orienting of attention can affect multiple stages of processing to guide adaptive behaviour. We tested whether temporal expectation in different task contexts is compromised in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). In…

Abstract Rossion et al. (2020) review over a decade of work investigating the neural basis of unfamiliar face individuation (FI) ‐ the brain’s ability to distinguish unfamiliar face identity ‐ using fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS).…

The Neuroscientist, Ahead of Print. The last decade has seen the emergence of new theoretical frameworks to explain pathological fatigue, a much neglected, yet highly significant symptom across a wide range of diseases. While the new models…
