New paper from the lab! We show how a deficit in attenuating self-generated sounds observed in schizophrenia patients is caused by a major genetic risk factor for the disease, and examine the underlying mechanisms: nature.com/articles/s4146…

How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing diff. behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: rdcu.be/etlRV Akin to in-context learning in AI, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience).

The vocabulary of systems neuroscience may appear daunting to many. Here's a short dictionary of common terms. BTW if you use them in your papers and grants you will have greater success

Thrilled to share this work from the Roeper lab! Lora discovered that behavioral recovery in a 6-OHDA parkinsonism model involves firing range adaptations in surviving dopamine neurons, mediated by Kv4.3 function. Happy to have been included in this😃 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How many academic papers are written with the help of ChatGPT? To answer this question, we analyzed 14mln PubMed abstracts from 2010 to 2024 and looked for excess words: ** Delving into ChatGPT usage in academic writing through excess vocabulary ** arxiv.org/abs/2406.07016 1/11

Brilliantly accessible philosopher, allegedly controversial, because much of humanity are deluded by religion. Read the " The Intentional Stance". His best intuition was that evolution shaped consiousness. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

💔 “In a way, art is a little like the dreams of a society. They seem to contribute little, but sleeping and dreaming are vitally important in that a human couldn’t live without them, in the same way a society cannot live without art.” via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2024/03/23/art…

How is this even possible? This is obviously written by AI. How is it possible that none of the authors AND reviewers missed this? 😲

Thrilled to have WenXi's thesis work out in the world! Over the past few years, WenXi has made some cool discoveries about how the brain learns to predict the consequence of an action. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Notably, BLA SST+ neurons seem to play a leading role in synchronizing beta-coherence bursts across amygdala-hippocampal circuits, possibly via their long-range projections which we find target vHPC SST INs (c.f. prior work on BLA-vHPC inh connections by @MacAskillAF). 6/6

New paper online! In 2018, we found a human brain signal that tracks real time fluctuations in mood/anxiety. Now Adam Jackson back-translates this biomarker to mice, dissects its circuit mechanisms, & tests its causal relationship to emotional state. 🧵1/6 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08…
