In Buzzy Papers we set out to compile some of the most exciting neuroscience papers published in the past two years! A panel of 10 neuroscientists selected the papers from a preliminary list our editorial team assembled by considering publications in top neuroscience journals

Photo of a thermometer showing high temperatures (over 80 degrees farenheit and 28 degrees celsius) against a backdrop of blooming white flowers and a blue sky. Overlaid orange text reads: β€˜Turn Up The Heat. Pass AB-432: The Menopause Care Equity Act.’ The image connects rising temperature imagery to advocacy for menopause care legislation.

Turn up the heat with us. We have ONE week to ask @cagovernor Newsom to sign California’s AB-432 Menopause Care Equity Act. Live in California, have 30 seconds, and want to support the bill? Go to tinyurl.com/AB432-suppor... to let @cagovernor Newsom know that women’s health is not an elective.

The intrinsic time tracker: temporal context is embedded in entorhinal and hippocampal functional connectivity patterns - Nature Communications This study shows that hippocampal and entorhinal connectivity patterns drift over time in humans, providing a spontaneous neural signature of elapsed time that follows functional gradients and reveals network-specific contributions to temporal coding.

This week two new #28andMe babies joined the extended family:

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

With the power of the people behind it, the California legislature just passed the Menopause Care Equity Act. This is history in the makingβ€”finally addressing a health gap that touches millions of women. Now, it’s down to one signature. @governor.ca.gov, the pen is in your hand. πŸ–ŠοΈ

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.
