@syd-smith.bsky.social"Left hemisphere for Language, the right for attention,” that’s the textbook story of hemispheric complementarity.

Many thanks to the reviewers and BCM neurosurgery team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show Post1/ 🚨 Just out in @natneuro.nature.com! 🧠 We profiled >6,000 features of brain dynamics across humans, macaques, marmosets, mice, fish and worms 🧑🐒🐒🐁🐟🪱 to find a shared neural endpoint of anaesthesia: spatiotemporal isolation of local activity 🧵👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41593-026-02460-4
