The activity underlying working memory involves sequences of silencing and reactivation.

Cycles of goal silencing and reactivation underlie complex problem-solving in primate frontal and parietal cortex

@StokesNeuro You're a true inspiration Mark.

Check out the mini-review led by @JeremyHogeveen and @VincentCostaPhd and drop by the mini-simposium on frontopolar cortex on Wednesday #SfN2022 featuring talks by members of our lab.

[Vincent Costa @VincentCostaPhd]

The mini-review @JeremyHogeveen and I wrote with our #SfN2022 mini-symposium panelists on frontopolar cortex anatomy and function is now out in Journal of Neuroscience.

SfN (@SfNtweets) this year will feature a new SfN-sponsored social: 'Social Neuroscience Social'. It will be at Marriott Marquis Grand Ballroom 2 on 11/15, 6:45-8:45. This Social will be chaired by myself + Ziv Williams + Nancy Padilla-Coreano (@DrNancyPadilla). See the goal 👇

@BorsboomDenny @MarkHaselgrove Heroic; thank-you!

[Silvia Maggi @simaggi1]

Do you think behavioural modelling can advance neuroscience research? Is this your field of research? Check this great opportunity to showcase your work in this Special Issue @Behavsci_MDPI Co-Guest Edited by @HazemToutounji and me.

Great🧵below by @markdhumphries highlighting new preprint led by @simaggi1 and @markdhumphries and colleagues on trial-level, Bayesian inference algorithm for decision-making across species (contains new NHP data/task from our lab too thanks to @behaviour_brain & @dukeloath 😎)👇

[Mark Humphries @markdhumphries]

#tweeprint
You’ve subjects – rats, humans, flies – learning a decision task. When do they learn? And what do they try while learning?

We developed an inference algorithm to answer both: at trial-resolution, Bayesian, yet simple and fast.

Dissociated effects of frontopolar cortex lesions vs. principal sulcus lesions on functional connectivity in interconnected networks within and beyond the frontal lobes.

New paper from our lab: Frontopolar cortex shapes brain network structure across prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex. https://t.co/ZDd00FEmS8
1/3

[Oxford Brain & Behaviour Research Group @behaviour_brain]

Findings emphasise the importance of functional connections between frontopolar cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, and mid-superior temporal sulcus.

[Bradley Love @ProfData]

It can be exciting relating aspects of models, including deep networks, to the brain, but what does it mean to say a model layer and brain region correspond? The field has adopted "correlation implies correspondence", but is that valid? w @nickjsexton https://t.co/7xYYcYTqvW 1/3
