I am such a fan of @wolfgangstein.bsky.social's comparative STG work that reveals why some species are more resilient to changing oceans than others. Read more below!

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

1/8 New preprint alert! How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain? What could be the functional implications of cardioception? We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.

The 2nd meeting of #Scialog: Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems ends today with pitches for team research projects to explore how neural systems adapt to today’s rapid environmental changes. - with @allenphilanthro.bsky.social, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, @kavlifoundation.org.

We gave a tutorial on @nwb.org and DANDI at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the full recording is up on YouTube. Covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.

another amazing one from @nbellono.bsky.social & team!

Dimensionality reduction may be the wrong approach to understanding neural representations. Our new paper shows that across human visual cortex, dimensionality is unbounded and scales with dataset size—we show this across nearly four orders of magnitude. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
