Congrats, Armin and team. This looks great!

Out today at Neuron, our experiments show that frontal cortical representation of economic variables is jointly determined by spatial organization and downstream
connectivity of neurons, revealing a structured, multi-scale code for economic variables. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Cholinergic-dependent dopamine signals in mouse dorsal striatum are regulated by frontal but not sensory cortices Everyday decisions depend on linking sensory stimuli with actions and outcomes. The striatum supports these sensorimotor associations through dopamine-dependent plasticity. Thus, the timing and magnit...

Nice preprint from Veronica Alvarez's group on cortically-evoked DA mediated by ACh! I We observed something quite similar in birds, and interesting to see the sensory/prefrontal distinction

Goodbye ChatGPT wrappers. Hello, ChatGPT!

Did NIH cancel all the NOSIs? I first noticed that NOT-MH-24-100, which had a prior expiration date of May 2027, now shows as expired (as of September 9, 2025). I then realized there are no active NOSIs...

Neuroscience lecture by Dr. Chris Zimmerman on Body-Brain interactions in learning

Excited to hear the latest science updates from @czimmerman.bsky.social on Monday, 1-2 pm CST. You can join us too—either on Zoom or in person! bit.ly/3VOJrcy

I know the organizers, and I score them highly on the orthogonal axes of being great scientists and great human beings. They have put together a terrific one day symposium, the day before SfN in San Diego. Register if you're there early!

Absolutely yes to collab and sailing! Would be a good excuse to invite you over for a sailing on Mendota!

Congrats, Richard! Too late for me to start another PhD (or is it? after 1 formal and 1 informal one). But if you can use a collaborator, we should talk! I will ping you! Cheers

Join us today at 1 pm CST for a lecture by @mariedoyle.bsky.social

How do #dopamine neurons perform the key calculations in reinforcement #learning?

Read on to find out more! 🧵

Our next speaker is my friend @garrface.bsky.social , who will discuss my favorite topic: Mesolimbic DA --> Causal Learning!

Tune in on Monday 9/22 from 1-2pm CST bit.ly/3VOJrcy

Lovely. "If this is not beautiful, what is?"

YouTube video by Ali Mohebi Season01 Ep01- Dr. Clifford Harpole

Cliff delivered a fantastic lecture during our series' first talk. Catch up here if you missed it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n_m...

Excellent stuff, except that I disagree with #preprint. This is #postprint quality! Congrats to my superstar friend, and the team!

Wonderful. Congrats, Kevin and team!

For-profit journals are like Uber, but for science. You do the work, they get rich cuz they provide the platform. Right?

Inaugural lecture of Brain Talks (on the isthmus). Excited to host Clifford Harpole cliff.science.

We all know a man who will cheat and consolidate power and resources, and cross bodies, over the hope of winning a Nobel prize. Sure, peace. #Ezra-op-ed

Thanks, Hannah! Quite excited to host you here.

Thanks, Marie! The honor is ours. Cheers much in advance

Excited to host you here, thanks Drew!

All the talks will be live-streamed and some will be recorded for asynchronous access. I will post updates a day before each talk here. You can also follow it through our webpage: lab.mohebial.com/brain-talks/

I am beyond excited to host a stellar group of scientists for the first installation of our series: Brain Talks on The Isthmus. Thank you to everyone who contributed by spreading the news, submitting abstracts, reviewing the submissions, and offering kind words of support. I am grateful and smiling

Congrats, Beth! This is indeed exciting.
