I wish I had attended. Do you have a list of all PIs that work with rodent models in Tübingen?

Loved hosting this symposium with @rungurselrun.bsky.social! Huge thanks to @eknapska.bsky.social, @drnancypadilla.bsky.social and Takashi Kitamura for coming all the way to Germany to share their amazing data — and to our own @c0rr34m.bsky.social and Jeimmy Gonzalez for their great contributions!

Chile: Pioneering the protection of neurorights Chile is set to become the first country in the world to legislate on neurotechnologies and include “brain rights” in its constitution.

Currently, there are technologies that can directly read the brain, decipher thoughts and feelings, and implant feelings that are not one’s own

In this era of surveillance capitalism, Be aware, not afraid.

Coordinated representational drift supports stable place coding in hippocampal CA1 The phenomenon of representational drift (i.e., changing neuronal tuning during repeated exposure to the same stimuli), is a fundamental paradox in neuroscience that raises the question how stable beh...

it was uplifiting and inspiring! I feel ecstatic with the future, full of possibilities.

🧠📈 I had the privilege to attend #IBNSConnect conference in Tromsoe last week and it was fantastic. I presented data with the rescue behavior task and the role dorsal hippocampus play in the learning of this behavior. My former PhD supervisor presented my PhD data. I watched the sun *not* set.

we should be better at writing papers, clearly be better at maths (I’m looking at you neuro community). We should engage locally and globally.

When are we good enough? When can we rest? Could we just accept that it’s okay we’re not trained in, and expertly navigate it all?

I think what irks me a bit is that PhD’s are expected to do SO many things these days.

We should be better communicators, better teachers, experimentally cutting-edge while wielding the state-of-the-art computational methods…

Now compare that to what works:

Mental health embedded into leadership development

Clear budget and ownership

Real cultural permission to talk about it

Metrics tracked over time

That’s where ROI lives.

Too many executives still treat mental health as an HR issue.
It’s not.
It’s a leadership issue.
It’s a business issue.
And it’s a strategic investment that pays off in real, measurable ways. 🧠📈
Let’s talk ROI. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences.

We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Rategory learning: antidromic systems consolidation. Not really, but it’s pithy. 🧠📈

Mark Solms talks about a Patient W he had who had basically his entire frontal lobes (apart from Broca's area) surgically removed as a teenager, due to repeated post-operational infections. This patient was fully conscious (in the responsiveness sense) and reported having mental imagery.

During decision-making, brain shows multiple distinct subtypes of activity Person-to-person variability in brain activity might represent meaningful differences in cognitive processes, rather than random noise.

Brain activity during decision-making tasks can be grouped into categories with unique neural signals, highlighting the importance of variability in neuroimaging studies, new work finds.

Psilocybin’s lasting action requires pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors - Nature A pyramidal cell type and the 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex have essential roles in psilocybin’s long-term drug action.

Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🧪

🚨 🧠
We have a new preprint out where we studied which brain networks are engaged during mental imagery and self-generated thought.

We used a precision fMRI approach along with multidimensional experience sampling (mDES) to get trialwise self-reports from each participant about what they imagined.
