Social Pain and social gain in the adolescent brain: A common neural circuitry
Social Pain and social gain in the adolescent brain: A common neural circuitry Previous research has shown that negative social feedback activates regions of the brain associated with processing of physical pain, giving rise to the idea of a brain circuit that processes social pain. This new study examined whether they process any socially important […]
Structural connectivity and patterns of gene expression provide insight into the mechanisms that may lead to the cognitive effects of a single-gene mutation
Structural connectivity and patterns of gene expression provide insight into the mechanisms that may lead to the cognitive effects of a single-gene mutation Neurodevelopmental disorders are difficult to investigate because various biological causes may lead to the clusters of behaviours that are grouped within a diagnostic category. Focusing on neurodevelopmental disorder with a genetic origin […]

Healthy Minds from 0-100 years
Healthy Minds from 0-100 years Through new funding from the EU Horizon 2020 framework of the Lifebrain project, CBU scientists Rik Henson, Rogier Kievit and Susan Gathercole will be able to integrate two Cambridge cohorts spanning childhood through to older age with 10 other European cohorts. The result will be a unique multinational resource of […]
Autobiographical memory based interventions are a promising treatment option for emotional disorders
Autobiographical memory based interventions are a promising treatment option for emotional disorders Disruption to the way that we retrieve autobiographical memories, that is, memories of our personal life experiences, is a key feature of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Previous research has shown that autobiographical memory disruptions play a key […]
Fionnuala Murphy and Rogier Kievit awarded MRC CEO Diversity Award
The MRC CEO Diversity Award has been awarded to CBU scientists Fionnuala Murphy and Rogier Kievit. It recognises their important contributions to making the CBU a forward-thinking environment that rewards staff fairly and values diversity in the work place, and to sharing this good practice both locally and nationally.
How the brain uses prior expectations to improve perception of degraded speech
How the brain uses prior expectations to improve perception of degraded speech In a new study published in BLOS Biology, Helen Blank and Matt Davis have shown that the brain uses predictive neural mechanisms to combine sensory signals and prior knowledge during the perception of degraded speech. Perception inevitably depends on combining sensory input with […]
