@NeuroPolarbear @SteinmetzNeuro@KordingLab@neuroecology Thanks! Always happy to see more interest in non-cortical contributions to evidence accumulation/decision making.
@MIcheleABasso1@prokraustinator@AnneEUrai@PamelaReinagel Here is one anecdote: One time a monkey went on strike in the booth because we moved his home cage away from his preferred spot in the colony. Jean figured it out, we moved him back, and he has published several papers since without water restriction.
@MIcheleABasso1@prokraustinator@AnneEUrai@PamelaReinagel The most significant trick we have is our monkey whisperer Jean. She convinced us that once we fix what makes monkeys unhappy in the booth, we don't need water restrictions for them to work.
@DrChaya I share your confusion about these expressions. As a non-white immigrant, I consider them to be compliments. I understand that some population find them insulting. Still trying to figure out what similar expressions are more universally accepted as real compliments.
@MatteoCarandini @CousinAmygdala @SRHeilbronner @DiFel1ceantonio Hi, Matteo, I was thinking of this paper by Selemon and Goldman-Rakic when I tweeted. https://t.co/QYh1VN4iBi
Huge congratulations to the one and only Nicole Rust @VisualMemoryLab on the 2021 NAS Troland Research Award! Nicole brings such elegance, computational rigor, and creativity to understanding the wilderness of visual memory https://t.co/X0otjBxXCd
@anne_churchland@IntlBrainLab@AnneEUrai Nice! We haven't restricted water for our non-mice animals for several years now and they work just fine. Big plus is not having to worry about dehydration.
