@FishKQian Congratulations! The results are very interesting and I was impressed with the work when I was a rotation student in the lab. Glad to see it finally got published!

@NeurIPSConf What a shame on Prof. Picard, what a shame on DEI, what a shame on MIT.

My rules for academia: 1. there are many paths to success, look for your own, 2. if the project excites you, do it; if it doesn’t, don’t. 3. let the project change, that’s what it’s supposed to do, 4. review the work of as you’d want to be reviewed, 5. one sentence, one idea.

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist:
1. Trust the data, even when it’s not what you expected,
2. Trust the data, allowing it to change your direction,
3. Trust the data, but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

Remember that cool paper that showed how PCA and friends introduce oscillations where they don't exist? https://t.co/C3qsjJnEBE Code is available now at https://t.co/5XhTKvCcg5 - this gives another reason for us to rethink past "manifold" papers.

I'm happy to share my first preprint in the Magee lab. Here we explored the properties and mechanisms of the hippocampal cognitive map. Mainly we focused on the distinct roles of allocentric and egocentric reference frames, their experience-dependency, and synaptic mechanism.

@FishPinkMan Congratulations!!!

New paper alert!!! How do you touch an object that is not physically present? 1/

Just in from the Nuo Li Lab @bcm_neurosci: an analysis of 20,000 frontal cortex neurons reveals distinct functional clusters supporting decision-making and their activities are driven by the thalamus. Read the new study by Drs. Weiguo Yang & Nuo Li here:

New study from @FritjofHelmchen lab is out! We looked at how multi-regional brain networks adapt as mice learned tactile discrimination task. Many things happened in both cortical and subcortical regions!

Return of the JEDI: our pre-print on JEDI-1P, a new voltage indicator (#GEVI) for fast 1P imaging is now on @biorxiv_neursci! 1P users who felt excluded by the publication of our 2P-optimized JEDI (JEDI-2P) can rejoice: there are JEDIs for everyone! https://t.co/14glGSo2lg.

Basal ganglia dSPNs and iSPNs play opposing roles while are coactive (with some complications) in behavior. We posted one manuscript on BioRxiv last week to show that dSPNs and iSPNs work together to shape cortical decision variable (to exert their opposing roles)

It's that time again.

It's the review of the year in neuroscience, from The Spike.

Starring thieving neurons, maze-running mice, a potential horror show for our understanding of Parkinson's disease, and much more.

Enjoy!

@CosmouseVision @marius10p @biorxivpreprint @IONatUO Awesome behavior paradigm! Expecting the subsequent story. Very curious about how the animal calculates the visual distance and then transfers this information to the motor system, and which areas are in charge of this kind of precise decision making.

[Zengcai Guo @ZengcaiG]

Second @NeuroCellPress paper from my lab is on the basal ganglia @blsabatini @jtdudman @YttriLab @MandelbaumGil. We identified a cortical-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical channel for short-term memory (https://t.co/C71wVyBnYh).
