So cool! I’m excited to read the preprint (I wish I was going to cosyne)

Rethinking mental health: The body’s impact on the brain Mounting evidence illustrates how peripheral molecules can influence brain function, offering new therapeutic targets.

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

Models of human hippocampal specialization: a look at the electrophysiological evidence From an anatomical perspective, the concept that the anterior and posterior hippocampus fulfill distinct cognitive roles may seem unsurprising. When c…

The hippocampus is functionally diverse: its anterior & posterior portions have different roles in emotion, navigation, gist vs. detail memory, and more.
