@JamesMHarrison_ @niko_kukushkin @pgmid See science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… and elifesciences.org/articles/3896. You can prevent or erase the synaptic change induced by a learning episode, but the memory nonetheless is fully consolidated/persists. I think synaptic change expresses but does not store memory.

@niko_kukushkin Your wonderful work in this area calls to mind the Brain Inspired episode with David Glanzman, where he states the possibility that memory is stored in the neural nucleus, which I think goes towards ‘body memory’. Curious to know your thoughts braininspired.co/podcast/172/ @pgmid

“Body stores trauma” has been the most common comment to our study about “body memory”. Easy leap, but still very much woo woo and probably wrong. What interests me is—why is this such a common thought? What do people find unsatisfying about normal, brain/culture explanations?

Nikolay, First, congratulations on your study. It's quite interesting. Second, regarding my stance: I believe that memories are stored in the nucleus, by epigenetic or genomic mechanisms or both. Synapses do change during learning, but this change is not the mechanism of memory storage, at least not after the first few hours.

The fly connectome is not the fly's mind; it's simply the exoskeleton of the fly's mind. nytimes.com/2024/10/02/sci… “Mind uploading has been a science fiction, but now mind uploading — for a fly, at least — is becoming mainstream science,” Dr. Seung said.

@pgodfreysmith @GadgetHiker Being neither a sociologist nor an economist I don't have any useful insights into this phenomenon, but I would love it if someone with the necessary expertise would take an interest in it. 2/2

@GadgetHiker @dglanzman David may come in on this, but I think he thinks – and this makes sense to me – that it's a top-down phenomenon, driven by the funding agencies. If so, why? Big-science hype? Managerial momentum? Or perhaps leading researchers see it as an opportunity to grow their power.

"Middle-class science" – a good term for something that is fading. The phrase was used by David Glanzman (UCLA, @dglanzman) at a conference this year. Middle-class science is work on a medium-sized, single-lab scale – not a huge collaboration, not a shoestring operation... 1/

@pgodfreysmith @GadgetHiker I honestly don't know what's driving the change. But I strongly suspect it's related to the larger changes that are taking place within society, particularly the enormous disparities in wealth in Western societies. 1/

@aasok @doctorpoe Yes, I'm on, although Tweeting's not really my thing. Still stuck in the 20th century 😊

@doctorpoe @dglanzman I didn't even know David was on Twitter 😊 ... thx Gina ... we've had quite a few discussions, but always looking forward to more! PS ... The Ada Lovelace day and discussion of hypersleep last year was a cool thing ... hope to see it again this year 😉

Asok & Kandel Paper 1/3: A multisensory circuit for gating intense aversive experiences. Fun science with friends 😊

@sjo09 Thanks Sheena. ☺️ It's a fun meeting!

@UCR_ScienceNews @YuqiMa8 @UCRiverside @UCRCNAS @UCRGradSuccess Congrats Yuqi!

Congratulations to @UCRiverside #graduate #student Yuqi Ma, the first recipient of an #award of $10,000 from @UCRCNAS, made possible by a #gift from the Leonard Family Foundation! insideucr.ucr.edu/awards/2022/03… @UCRGradSuccess #neuroscience #research

@gershbrain Will Aspirational Neuroscience give us $100K if we show that this cannot be done?

Depending on what is meant by "non-trivial memory," I conjecture that this cannot be done. Memories are more than synaptic connections.

And Prof. Glanzman's paper "RNA from Trained Aplysia Can Induce an Epigenetic Engram for Long-Term Sensitization in Untrained Aplysia" has been the most read paper in @SfNJournals #eNeuro for several months. bit.ly/2kyXy4a and #ResearchHighlight bit.ly/2IKAKZT

@michelleisawolf You were terrific—don't let the bastards get you down. Kellyanne (alt-facts) Conway, Sarah (huckster) Sanders, Sean (biggest crowd ever) Spicer—they lie and lie and lie as they help make American safe for Fascism. We should care that you hurt their feelings?
