Why do intrinsically disordered proteins appear larger than they are in SDS-PAGE? We investigate how sequence properties affect SDS-PAGE mobility using synthetic IDRs.
Conclusion: We need to consider both SDS binding and the compaction of protein-SDS complexes.

Super proud of @sjoerdmeijer.bsky.social who demonstrated that amygdala-TUS slows initial threat acquisition and enhances subsequent extinction. Great collaboration with @lennartverhagen.bsky.social and @deVoogdld.bsky.social ea. Thanks to @ERC.europa.eu.

Using time-resolved EEG/MEG decoding?š§ Hereās a new approach!
No feature engineering (decode from raw signals), but capturing info that standard decoding often misses (oscillatory/aperiodic activity, connectivity).
Lightweight, INTERPRETABLE, and easy to use. (1/6)

We show that synesthesia is sensory and automatic in nature: the pupil scales with the brightness of experienced synesthetic colors. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
Now in its new dress @elife.bsky.social (convincing & valuable in round 1).
If anyone wants to pick up the method, happy to share & explain!

Synesthetes claim sensory experiences, such as seeing color when reading or hearing a (black) number. āØBut how genuine are these reports and sensations? We introduce a rather direct measure of synesthetic perception: Synesthetesā pupils respond to evoked color as if it was real color #vision! šļøšØš§Ŗ

@jhennig.bsky.social has shown that dopamine exerts a real-time effect on conditioned responding, beyond its role in learning:

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by @twktan.bsky.social @mandymejia.bsky.social, we find that we may be censoring too much!

Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!
