Check out our latest research drop! We show BLA dopamine signaling encodes the emotional weight of sensory transitions, but not the associative strength or value of stimuli. These signals dynamically rescale when the learning context changes: "this matters most!" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

New preprint 🚨🧠🔬
@sophiepeterson.bsky.social + @margole.bsky.social dissect the roles of 2 major OFC subcortical pathways in context-dependent reward prediction.
TLDR:
OFC→CDS: critical for hierarchical gating of predictions.
OFC→MDT: more modest role, possibly limiting non-hierarchical predictions

At least yours has a number it seems! Mine is in limbo just as R0100000-00 in the system with no contact or anything. Chalked it up to general chaos but maybe given my request to go to a now canceled SS they have just delayed processing
I like that they seem to have kept but renamed NMB but left BRLE as is lol
No clue this seems related to originally CSR restructuring from years back?
Also this probably explains why my R01 in for cycle 1 has yet to receive a number or relevant information in a month with CSR redoing all these study sections
They are going from 10 to 15 study sections (surprising) - public.csr.nih.gov/EvaluationIn...

What’s the point anymore
Keep forgetting that this app is designed to beam the horrors directly into your brain
"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."
To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.
As promised at the #GRC Basal Ganglia, here is our recent review on striatal cholinergic heterogeneity. I hope people find it useful and inspiring.

it makes me more sad that i know what this lol

Folks, -80 we have may have already bit the bullet and we need to evaluate options. What is the hivemind consensus of best -80 that doesn't die after 1 year and also wont cost me 50K.
"ICE operations in Pa. surge under the radar, destroying communities and lives"
Harrisburg, Scranton, Erie, Norristown. Even if ICE leaves Minnesota, they still need to be stopped
www.pennlive.com/news/2026/02...
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
could you email me the BBR paper? For whatever reason we don't have access to that journal here. This is a topic I admittedly still struggle to grasp
🥳🥳🥳
Reminder there are still 2000 active goons destroying our city and kidnapping civilians to such an extreme extent that kids cant even go to school normally
The Boyfriend delivers on this front but just isn’t the same
The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."
This presser worked like a charm.
