Another cool paper from Iran: nature.com/articles/s41... Prenatal stress makes mouse offspring more anxious, hyperactive, forgetful, and more drawn to morphine while laterodorsal tegmentum cholinergic neurons become hyperexcitable. From Kerman, a city with reported violent crackdowns on protests.

In my opinion asking “how” does not make the question of “where” less relevant. We will understand if we are able to take into account and therefore answer both questions. Dichotomies can sometimes be useful but they are not necessarily neither right not interesting.

💫 🧠💡This inspiring conference “Seeing the Mind, Educating the Brain” has just ended, and I am very grateful for having been there among brilliant scientists connected by a common passion for the brain, and a common friendship with the great Stan Dehaene!
Talks (including mine) are online here 👇

Strategic omission:
knowingly leaving out relevant prior work to make findings seem more novel is academic dishonesty.
Adding citations later doesn’t undo the damage.
Citations are credit and respect, not decoration.

Our lab at Carnegie Mellon is recruiting graduate students this year to study the development of the brain and cognition — come watch a brain develop, see how animals learn concepts, or take a canoe ride to see how folks learn across cultures. #PsychSciSky

Of course they test the waters with pro-Palestinian speech on the hope that people won’t protest, and then they can move on to everyone else. Call your congresspeople to demand that Khalil be released.
