#tweeprint! Have you ever wanted to learn about spatial and non-spatial hippocampal function, especially in primates? We look at single neurons + ensemble activity across tasks during virtual navigation in a new paper with @JulioMTneuro in @NatureNeuro https://t.co/iWptKbXMDN 1/
"In neuroscience, we have monkeys to thank for deep brain stimulation therapy . . . [and] brain computer interfaces . . . Virtually everything we know about the human visual system . . . has its roots in foundational science involving monkeys." https://t.co/P8Su7zqfor
@JonAMichaels @yorkuniversity@vistayorku@YorkUKINE Congrats Jonathan! You’re going to contribute to an amazing atmosphere at York, looking forward to seeing what you get up to there
@HamidRamezanpou@JulioMTNeuro@andpru@wusmsl@WesternU@IPNMcGill In my experience I wouldn’t have gotten all of my top choices if they had to pay me. It’s an understandable predicament for PIs; training someone for a temp rotation takes time from other lab members, costs extra materials, etc. Paying stipend on top might be a deterrent
@JulioMTNeuro@andpru@wusmsl@WesternU@IPNMcGill I didn’t have a neuro background so it was the only way for me to try neuro from molecular to cognitive. Not being hyperbolic, it changed my life and I wouldn’t be in this field without that year to learn broadly. Endlessly thankful to those who set it up incl @ed_ruthazer
@TonyZador@KordingLab I think what you're saying is mostly true, but it's also incomplete in ways worth mentioning
Sometimes "fitness" determines the path of evolution, but sometimes it doesn't. For those interested in learning more, a nice intro article to neutral theory: https://t.co/BOlan5qXvB
@EricMTrautmann We chatted about this already, but for anyone else that's interested check out the new CHARM (cortical) and SARM (subcortical) segmentations. These match the forthcoming edition the Paxinos et al atlas
