Join us in congratulating Dr. Nick Baumgartner as the first paper from his dissertation project was just published!

Both aspects of muscle are related to cognitive function, even after accounting for other things known to affect cognition (age, sex, aerobic fitness) AND the contrasting outcome (i.e. muscle strength relates to cognition even after accounting for muscle mass).

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves: the Action-mode Network (AMN). Find our arguments here: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/2v… with the peerless Marc Raichle and the brilliant @gordonneuro. 🧵 ↓
Our very own Nick Baumgartner has accepted a postdoc position at RUSH Alzheimer's Disease Center in RUSH University. Congrats Nick

🧠 It's not about how hard you work out, but rather the consistency of your activity.
Light physical activities can boost cognitive health!

"Light intensity, outdoor PA performed alone or with family/friends was anticipated to be most pleasant for most participants. Vigorous intensity PA ... elicited anticipated displeasure for those with low involvement." Data by @JordanDKurthPhD et al.

Ok this is big.
Web of Science just removed the MDPI flagship journal IJERPH from their lists. This means IJERPH has no more an Impact Factor.
Why is this big? What are the implications? 🧵

Very interesting! I suspect this study to have a large media coverage. You need to be carfeful about the content of the message provided at the population.
Fantastic NEW research! nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
Vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) (3-4 minute bursts per day)

Our paper published in @MSSEonline shows that #Judo training reduces cognitive control deficits in children born preterm, but not in those affected by #ADHD @UniBasel @DSBGUniBasel
