Risk reshapes amygdala representation of choice
Modifying behavior in response to changing environmental conditions is a crucial adaptive function. This capacity is exemplified when animals curtail pursuit of a valued outcome that risks being punis...
for anyone interested in the amygdala and risky decision-making, check out our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
amygdala neurons track reward-seeking actions, and punishment risk dramatically alters this function. lots of other (BLA-accumbens!) data included.

I'm deeply honored to share that I've been awarded a 2025 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant from @bbrfoundation.bsky.social .
I'm so grateful to my mentors & BBRF for continuing to support early career researchers during this tumultuous time. It will mean everything to scientists like me. 🥲

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Redirecting
Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit.
Here's how to change your subscription back to "Classic" for a lower charge without Copilot: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

A wasp drinking a beer
Wasps love alcohol. They seek out alcoholic drinks, and survive even after drinking the equivalent of 5 L of vodka, because they are incredibly efficient at metabolizing ethanol, helped by duplication of their alcohol dehydrogenase gene. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #BedtimeScience 🍺🐝 🧪
