Newly detailed nerve links between brain and other organs shape thoughts, memories, and feelings Studies of interoception challenge distinctions between disorders of the brain and body—and may hold clues to the basis of consciousness

Back in 2021, we hypothesized brain-heart interactions could signal mental processing, potentially detecting consciousness in unresponsive patients. And we succeeded: www.jneurosci.org/content/41/2...
Then Science and SfN gave us a shout-out for it: tinyurl.com/ytr67c5a www.jneurosci.org/spotlight

If even the "dumbest" forms of life use touch and electrical signals to withstand stressful situations, how much more important and entrenched do you think these behaviors are for humans and other life forms?

Remember, the "J" stands for "genius."

🎓Part of the current #ScientificCrisis is the cult of the #LoneGenius myth. Great scientists are not isolated geniuses but a cultural phenomena, product of education systems, funding structures, social capital, historical paradigms - and lots of privilege and invisible labor.

Weathering budget cuts: Lessons from NASA The current uncertainty and cuts to science funding affect universities, research facilities, and laboratories across the United States, but this situation is not unprecedented. Under pressure to fund...

My first editorial in @science.org was published today: what to do (and, importantly, what NOT to do) when your grants are suddenly cut or research funding is uncertain. Please read and share!

Speaking of AI, check out AlphaFold, a database of protein structures that have been successfully guessed by AI (and regular experiments). One obstacle in science is knowing how the trillions of proteins in us do their jobs or how they're shaped. AI is helping with that. #ai

We're going to steal ML and AI back from the grifters and actually use it for science, so help me, God. #science #learntocode #biomedicalengineering #bioinformatics

Organ-on-a-chip simulates drug-triggered muscle and kidney injury Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and acute kidney failure.

A modular organ-on-a-chip system enables precise simulation of drug-induced muscle and kidney injury, allowing real-time observation of inter-organ interactions and toxic responses in a lab setting. doi.org/hbhxsq

Hey, yo, you can shoot lasers at cancer to tell if its cancer or not. Between this and MR spectroscopy, there are avenues for getting better at detecting cancer without even opening a person up. #medicine #medicalimaging #oncology #biomedicalengineering

This was thought provoking 🧠

Doesn't invalidate computational approaches but a clear-eyed view of the limits/assumptions, and an eloquent description of why neurobiology is endlessly fascinating
