HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU!🎄✨

Thanks for CNRS Biologie for highlighting our new work - more to come...

Research in primate brains has been essential for the development of brain-computer interfaces and artificial neural networks. New funding and policy changes put future such advances at risk, write Cory Miller, @movshon.bsky.social and Doris Tsao. #neuroskyence bit.ly/47MXYLH

A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions. Lots of updates from the preprint!

A fun hippo thread that is worth your time… “ it makes neutering them a copper-plated bitch.”

Kraftwerk gets it #neuroscience

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

🥰

Very sad news, an inspiring scientist.

Joyeux Noël!

MRC Units across the UK have led the scientific world for generations, but are due to be closed with little consultation, for reasons that are largely unknown. Please sign this letter if you would like the MRC to reconsider. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

New 💥beta burst💥 paper! With Sotirios Papadopoulos, Jérémie Mattout of @cophy.bsky.social, and @maciekszul.bsky.social, we show how waveform-specific beta burst rates outperform classic motor imagery BCI approaches based on beta power direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

One of those days where you bust out the soldering iron half way through the experiment 🤷‍♂️

⚠️ New preprint ! « Social determinants of cognitive aging trajectories across 39 countries » Some people in their 80s have cognitive abilities similar to many 30-year-olds, others are severely diminished. 
How comes?

I have not seen a starter pack for the study of brain rhythms. So, here's a start. go.bsky.app/A6zgHeE

Do you know how dark Twitter has to be for *STEPHEN KING* to say it’s too dark

I've largely been absent from the socials, for reasons, but as this place seems to have a reasonable discussion to bullshit ratio, and folks are here now, let's give it another go. Here is an introductory thread for all these lovely new followers....

Thrilled to be presenting at the Foraging Conference: Mechanisms of foraging, information seeking and exploration. Please join us in delightful Lyon, France, Dec 11-13 for in-depth, exciting discussion. Registration and poster abstracts now open: bit.ly/48levq6 #Neuroscience

Magnificent

Always limit your global variable changes.

famous moments in psychology / cog-sci as lego sets, a thread. 1. Pavlov's dogs.

me responding to colleagues' emails about this grant I'm working on

Hello world. I'm a neuroscientist based in Lyon studying the neurophysiology of the prefrontal cortex, and how it changes during learning & cognitive training. Particularly interested in the role of neural oscillations in frontal regions. #Neuroskyence #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #neurocience
