A major part of our future health & prosperity lies in medical research. There are billions of available dollars that can be used for vital medical science. Please join the campaign for our government to act urgently to fully disperse these funds:

Most researchers miss out on innovation grants while medical fund sits on $25b
Nine in 10 Australian researchers had their “ideas grant” applications rejected last year, even as Australia’s medical investment fund sits on $5 billion more than it was designed to hold.

🎇 Excited to finally share JL Romero Sosa’s publication! Results are from single-cell imaging in different subregions of rat frontal cortex during ✨de novo learning. Spoiler: everything is not everywhere all at once

Neural coding of choice and outcome are modulated by uncertainty in orbitofrontal but not secondary motor cortex - Nature Communications
Neural mechanisms underlying flexible learning and decision-making are not fully understood. Using single-cell calcium imaging, authors here found that neurons in orbitofrontal and secondary motor cortex exhibit complementary roles in reward learning, with neurons in the former exerting a sustained role in conditions of uncertainty.

Why don’t some of us learn from punishment?
Individuals differ drastically in whether they will cease actions with negative consequences. Using a specially-designed task, we explore the psychological roots for these differences, its stability a...

Knowing better, doing worse: the science behind self-sabotaging behaviour
UNSW researchers uncover why some people persist in harmful behaviours – even when they’ve been shown where they’re going wrong.

We created a photometry python package for unbiased standardised post-hoc analysis using bootstrapping confidence intervals No more AUC or time bins analysis! Ever Follow our simple step by step instructions.

We have outlined issues with typical pre-processing steps for fibre photometry analysis.
doi.org/10.1117/1.NP...
Main: standard linear fitting of isosbestic to experimental signals = BAD! IRLS is conceptually+demonstrably better. Lots discussed in paper. Code posted at

Have been away from social media, which has been nice. But figure I really should post some updates about what the lab has been up to. Posts incoming.
