"Opponent control of reinforcement by striatal dopamine and serotonin", @Nature

Here, we show that dopamine and serotonin signals form a gas-brake system for reward in the mammalian brain

We’re no experts but this sounds like it might be suboptimal for disseminating research.

Learning a lot from all the fantastic work presented at #SJDM in NYC this year. Check out my poster #3 on the neural basis of risk-taking behavior and the gut-brain axis influence in this mechanism. #decisionmaking #neuroskyence

Would you add me please? 🧠

Yes, we’ll try it… fingers crossed 🤞

And of course, our sample has a high percentage of international students that would be excluded if we shift to the local language 😓

They are. In fact between 90/93% of the local population is fluent in English, with potentially higher fluency in our target age group. It is more than annoying. It is clearly discriminatory.

It limits communication, demands validation of tasks and questionnaires, limits recruitment, limits the participation of research assistants and my personal participation in the project. As consequence, the communication limitations might affect results. How would you handle this situation?

Extremely disappointed after receiving a METC review forcing our international group, in a major international university, in a country where the majority in the target age speaks English, to use the local language in our study. Purely based on politics and prejudice. Weird times. 😔 #AcademicSky

Jesus Christ, look at this. All this money just gone, when every single one of these clowns should have known better at the time.

Excellent day of work. Life in academia can be really tough but it can also be really rewarding! #maastrichtuniversity #academicsky

Remember this when you criticize someone for taking support (which let’s be honest, is never much more than a few bucks) from social security to survive.

Memorability shapes perceived time (and vice versa) - Nature Human Behaviour In this Article, Ma et al. show, across a series of experiments, that time and memorability (the probability of recalling a visual stimulus) mutually influence one another, suggesting that time is a f...

Excited and thrilled and humbled that our work is now out at Nature Human Behaviour linking Memorability with Time Perception! I hope you all find it of interest 🙂

Tip for women in science:

Don't collaborate with men who are not allies in the fight against sexism (unless you have no choice, which happens often of course).

You may think it is worth it, but really, it never is. You will end up mistreated and your ideas likely erased.

Sensacional! Governo Lula planeja investir R$ 1 bilhão para repatriar mil cientistas, criar novos laboratórios e reduzir “fuga de cérebros”.

A informação é do presidente do CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico), Ricardo Galvão.

Critical thinking, curiosity and organization. You can learn the other skills.

Para os #brasileiros chegando agora, saibam que estão em ótima companhia! Cientistas do mundo todo deixaram o falecido #twitter assim que o Elxn Mxsk o comprou e tem ocupado o #Bluesky e #mastodon compartilhando conteúdo de altíssima qualidade 🤩

#Attachment #MythBusting #09

I often hear that attachment is “right-#brain” centred and that there is a general “right-brain” versus “left-brain” dominance for complex behaviours and personality traits. But this is a #myth!

The Brain’s Glial Cells Might Be As Important As Neurons These lesser-known nervous system cells were long thought to be the “glue” holding neurons together. They’re much more.

Half of the cells in the brain are neurons, and the other half are glial cells.

Journalist Yasemin Saplakoglu joins us to talk about how these cells communicate with neurons and why they might be critical in how we experience pain.

‘Dear Layla’: Letters for Sale From a Rock Music Love Triangle Eric Clapton’s handwritten messages, being auctioned this week, shed light on how he wooed Pattie Boyd away from George Harrison and on the impassioned songs the affair inspired.

Eric Clapton’s letters from one of rock music’s most mythic love triangles are being auctioned this week. The handwritten messages shed light on how he wooed Pattie Boyd away from George Harrison and on the impassioned songs — including “Layla” — that the affair inspired.

Começando o dia no trem em excelente companhia. Ouvindo dois brilhantes neurocientistas falando sobre livre arbítrio @paulo.boggio e @dr.disturbio no novo podcast cadeahipoteseruth? Super recomendo!
