The naked mole rat holds the key to extended life! Discover researchers are unlocking its genetic secrets to challenge aging, not just in rodents but potentially for us all. Could the fountain of youth be within our grasp?

"AI in current practice is deteriorating our theoretical understanding of cognition rather than advancing and enhancing it." https://t.co/8VeceuJ4uj A spicy preprint
New funding opportunity! We are currently accepting letters of interest (2 pages max length) for pilot projects in Neuroscience & Society. Applicants may request up to $150,000 in funding for projects over a period of up to 18 months. For details, visit https://t.co/ADCcCPsaKk
Did you know the famous homunculus was updated recently? Here is the new one, published in Nature last month. It accounts for coordinated complex movements that the 1948 one lacked.

🧠✨Black In Neuro Week is back for the 4th year with even more amazing programming! Save the date for #BINW23 : July 24th to July 30th.
We’ve got great things in store, including panels, workshops, and a keynote from @IshmailSaboor!
Stay tuned, registration will open soon!
@BrownHospMed @TBHMedicine@grepmeded Eastchester Clapping Sign: when pts w parietal neglect are asked to clap, they clap their functioning hand against the air, stopping at the midline as if meeting the other hand there. Pts without neglect reach across the midline to clap against the paralyzed or neglected hand.
@JTotonchy and I will be #teaching our Chapman University colleagues about #teambasedlearning during tomorrow's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) JanCon!
Thanks for the training, @TBLearning
We are holding a special FUN First Friday on January 6th (yes, that’s this week!) to kick off a great semester of inclusive teaching!
Ashley Juavinett will lead a conversation for educators to help students consider themselves scientists and help them develop critical skills.
We surveyed ~250 neuroscience graduate students and professionals (faculty, industry, etc) about the skills they use and value at work.
Turns out, they use somewhat different skills! To some extent, this makes sense, but there are some critical gaps.

An idea materialized. Coming off of the job market last year, we wanted to consolidate some of what we learned to help future candidates understand the process and recognize what is negotiable. Please check out our paper here: https://t.co/K7JID5tyjz
