In this episode, the NEATLabs team chats with Rebecca Rammensee from RPTU Germany on the neuro-cognitive basis of resilience, based on her 2026 study published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

While clinical populations (e.g., individuals with anxiety or depression) tend to exhibit negative processing biases, healthy individuals typically display a mild positive bias. In her study of healthy adults, Rebecca and team found that positive information bias is associated with stronger neural responses to negative information in dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Insula (the core nodes of the Salience Network). Additionally, positive bias is important because it correlates with stress resilience, specifically the "acceptance of self and life" subscale of the Resilience Scale.

In this episode, Dr. Jyoti Mishra hosts Katie B. Happyy founder of the global B_inspired movement, international mindset coach, keynote speaker, and master yoga instructor.

Katie is the exemplar of an everyday neuroscientist sprinkling every motivation and inspiration with brain facts. We come away with the universal mantra of breath is medicine & community is medicine.

A neuroscientist, a psychiatrist and an engineer come together to discuss our cutting-edge work in applying personalized machine learning to depression treatment. Episode features NEATLabs directors Dr. Jyoti Mishra and Dr. Dhakshin Ramanathan alongside postdoctoral scientist Dr. Nan.

Dr. Jyoti Mishra hosts world renowned neuroscientist Dr. Agustin Ibanez to discuss his ground-breaking work on the diversity of aging and brain health around the globe.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an approved therapy for depression but how does it work at the cellular level? Our resident TMS expert psychiatrist Dr. Dhakshin Ramanathan hosts Dr. Scott Wilke as he discusses exciting findings of a new study from his lab of how TMS modulates specific brain circuits in a mouse model of depression.
