Our next induction will be on *Friday the 2nd of June, at 13:00*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training* *The next L0 training session will be held on Wednesday the 14th of June, 13:00-15:00. * Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking. *Seminar* The next YNiC seminar will be this *Thursday (25th of May) at 4pm* with a talk from *Dr Dan Denis *titled "*The role of localised sleep spindles in adaptive memory consolidation"*. It would be great to see you here at YNiC, where refreshments will be available after the talk. You can also use the following link to catch the seminar on zoom https://york-ac-uk.zoom .us/j/96762553290?pwd=UEluT1lMd3V5azY5YzNmWkJCV1VTdz09 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd%3…> Have a great week!

YNiC Seminar - TOMORROW
by Rebecca Lowndes 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hi all, Don't forget we have a YNiC seminar by *Dr Tirso Gonzalez Alam *titled "*Visual to default network pathways: A double dissociation between semantic and spatial cognition**" *tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm. The seminar will be in person at YNiC. You can also use the following link to catch the seminar on zoom https://york-ac-uk.zoom .us/j/96762553290?pwd=UEluT1lMd3V5azY5YzNmWkJCV1VTdz09 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd%3…> See you there! Becky *Visual to default network pathways: A double dissociation between semantic and spatial cognition* Tirso Gonzalez-Alam, Katya-Krieger-Redwood, Dominika Varga, Zhiyao Gao, Aidan Horner, Tom Hartley, Magdalena Sliwinska, David Pitcher, Jonathan Smallwood, Elizabeth Jefferies *Abstract* The Default Mode Network (DMN) often deactivates to visual input yet it can couple to visual cortex, and it is composed of multiple subsystems that might differ in their degree of visual coupling or in the memory representations that they support. We used a combination of univariate, connectivity and multivariate fMRI analyses across three samples (combined N > 250) to investigate the architecture connecting visual cortex to DMN, and the engagement of visual-DMN pathways in memory-guided decisions across two domains (semantic and spatial). Participants learned virtual environments consisting of buildings populated with objects, with half of the buildings containing objects from a single semantic category allowing them to associate space with meaning. In a second session, they made spatial and semantic decisions about these buildings and objects in the scanner. We found semantic and spatial judgements engaged distinct DMN subsystems. Frontotemporal DMN regions were primarily engaged by semantic judgements and showed stronger connectivity to object perception regions in lateral ventral occipital cortex, while medial temporal DMN regions were more strongly recruited during spatial judgements and showed stronger connectivity to medial visual regions involved in processing scenes. Clusters in angular gyrus and ventral lateral occipital cortex, topographically situated between these pathways, were implicated in the integration of semantic and spatial information, suggesting a mechanism for the interaction of these distinct visual-to-DMN pathways. These results show how processing streams that capture different unimodal to heteromodal transformations relevant to conceptual and spatial processing might interact at multiple levels of the cortical hierarchy to produce coherent cognition. -- Rebecca Lowndes Research Technician York Neuroimaging Centre

Siemens MRI down for repair
by Andre Gouws 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi all, We encountered and error with the Siemens MRI scanner today. The engineers are being booked in to resolver the issue and we hope it will be a relatively quick fix. We will keep you posted, but as it stand the system is down as it requires some parts. More news will follow as soon as we have any, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Lead Technical Specialist York Neuroimaging Centre and York Diagnostic Imaging Departmental Safety Advisor - Dept. of Psychology University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY
