After a short summer break, Neuroccino returns this Monday with a new season of papers, speakers, and lively discussion about the brain. Our informal online journal club meets every Monday at 09:30, bringing together researchers from around the world to explore recent work in clinical neuroscience and neuroanatomy. Everyone is welcome, and coffee remains entirely optional. Joining details and upcoming sessions are available on the Neuroccino website. Previous talks can also b

Stephanie Forkel has joined the University of the Witwatersrand’s Department of Psychology as a Visiting Associate Professor. The appointment forms part of her ERC-funded EMERGENCE programme, an ambitious investigation into how language emerges from the dynamic interplay of brain anatomy, lived experience, and environment — including the extraordinary neural and cognitive demands of producing and understanding click languages. Working with Professors Kate Cockcroft and Aline

Today, the four Theme Leaders of the Donders Institute came together to keep building our leadership as the Research Platform — the group that advises the Executive Board on research #strategy, shapes new interdisciplinary #initiatives, and #connects work across our six partner centres. What makes this network distinctive is that it draws together researchers from the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, Radboud University, Radboudumc, the Max Planck Institu

Radboud University welcomes the president of the ERC, Maria Leptin for the Science in Society Symposium on July 7th in the Trigon building, Nijmegen. This unique event brings together scientists, policymakers, and societal stakeholders. It aims to foster an in-depth discussion on the position, value, and future of fundamental (neuro)scientific research in Europe and the Netherlands. The symposium will feature ERC laureates in the spotlight, showcasing curiosity-driven researc

Have you ever been on a phone call where you suddenly hear your own voice echo back a split second later? It feels strange, confusing, and for many people it becomes impossible to keep speaking fluently. That tiny delay is enough to throw off the brain’s internal timing. This concept is exactly what Müge Özker Sertel uses to uncover one of the most fascinating mysteries in neuroscience: how does the brain produce speech so smoothly? Her findings were recently featured in the
