How do VTA DA neurons sculpt downstream representations to reinforce actions? VERY excited about our new preprint (by Alex Pan Vazquez & @czimmerman.bsky.social )

Nice write-up of some of our recent work! Thank you for the support @simonsfoundation.org !

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Our next profile is here! Dr. Christine Constantinople studies the neural mechanisms of decision-making. Follow the link below to learn more! 🧠 www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuro

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

Full professor complaining to an assistant professor on how hard it is to get funding nowadays

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0 🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of intuition.

The ‪@intlbrainlab.bsky.social published 2 papers today on their work to create a map of neural activity across the entire mouse brain.

A show of bipartisan support for NIH. Basically flat except for ARPA-H. The President’s budget proposal basically ignored (as it should have been).

A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS). Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Congrats to this neuro-leaning @simonsfoundation.org physics & math collaboration on the science of learning. NeuroAI - exciting! www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/08/18/s...

Please sign! Science funding got strong support from the Senate but is now in the House! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

BREAKING NEWS: a government watchdog confirmed the Trump administration is breaking the law by blocking NIH funds.   How many kids with cancer or grandmas with Alzheimer’s have to get closer to death while crucial research is stalled?  Trump must end this illegal funding freeze.

I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️ My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior?

Come work in my dept! We are hiring a lecturer in psychology (ideally speaking Dutch) @leidenpsychology.bsky.social www.academictransfer.com/en/jobs/3529...

Maybe he would only be able to rent part of Venice if he had to pay taxes. Just kidding. With a net worth of $224.6 billion, he could pay $1 million per hour for the next 25 years and still be a multibillionaire (assuming no increase in wealth). www.greenpeace.org/italy/storia...

Mice harboring mutations in Fmr1, Cntnap2 or Shank3B show a blunted update of priors during decision-making, suggesting that distinct genetic instantiations of ASD may yield common neurophysiological and behavioral phenotypes www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Humbled by the honor and looking forward to seeing y'all in Utrecht soon!

Proud of this work, many years in the making: rdcu.be/ephb0. Still looking for post-docs for the noel-lab.org so if this looks interesting to you, please reach out! Thanks for the support @simonsfoundation.org (SFARI), @sloanfoundation.bsky.social @natneuro.nature.com

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

hey lovelies, I finally got around to publicly sharing my compilation of big tech energy and emissions data. I'll be using it in articles, posts etc but it's yours too, free to use (w/ attribution is nice) ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/23/d...

This month’s newsletter features the launch of our new Mentorship Directory and Q&As with @jpnoel.bsky.social and @beetzjerome.bsky.social about their new labs. Plus, funding opportunities from the @alleninstitute.org, @ibroorg.bsky.social and more. Sign up: bit.ly/4jYyjV8 #neuroskyence

In this month’s “Liftoff,” @jpnoel.bsky.social l.bsky.social talks about the importance of being kind to oneself when opening up a lab, and @beetzjerome.bsky.social recommends summer training courses for career development. By @franciscorr25.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/liftoff-new-...

"US scientists who received renewals from the NIH over the past four decades produced more novel research than did those who didn’t." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Did not know that this was being litigated.

Speak Truth.....

A thread: NIH Fellows United is committed to showing up, even when leadership won’t. 🧪

Thinking about how much medical and scientific research could be funded by $180 million dollars, and trying not to die of an acute absurdity infarction.

"Science is an investment. We will put forward a new 500 million package for 2025-2027 to support the best and the brightest researchers and scientists from Europe and around the world." — President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at the ‘Choose Europe for Science' event at La Sorbonne 🇫🇷

Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march). Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs. That is one 3-year NSF grant per day. Waste and abuse, my ass. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This has already been going around for a few days, but I am very excited and grateful to be part of this consortium funded by @simonsfoundation.org ! I am very excited to tackle these big questions with such an amazing team of collaborators. #CogSci www.ceu.edu/article/2025...

The National Institutes of Health, the largest funder of biomedical research in the world, has fired 1,300 employees and cancelled more than $2 billion in federal research grants. https://cbsn.ws/4daiCrv

Exciting news!! I’m joining the tenure-track faculty at University of Colorado Boulder this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience! The Sosa Lab will study how memory is shaped by cognitive and physiological demands, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. 🧵

NIH is going to hold a town hall for staff with director Jayanta Bhattacharya, and apparently the form to submit questions is publicly available. In case that’s of interest. forms.office.com/pages/respon...

We are excited to announce our new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE)! This program will unite experts in experimental and computational #neuroscience approaches to investigate how the brain represents sensorimotor interactions. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... #science

Very excited to be part of this. Huge thank you to the @simonsfoundation.org for their support and vision. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... Also, job openings in this context! Please apply and forward to anyone who may be interested! hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/367...

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
