Myles gave his Biology Seminar talk on stem cell derived cortical graft for brain repair.

I will stop whatever I'm doing anytime a student excitedly knocks on my door to show me new data.

NIH Funds remain frozen using a loophole to try to circumvent judge's orders. Call your elected representatives including Governor and state AG (or DC AG). Express your concern that this will hurt the economy, livelihood, &long-term health of constituents www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

The economic impact on North Texas due to the 15% F&A cap is thousands of jobs lost, over $500M in annual economic activity gone, and delays to life-saving research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Read my letter to Congress and report here:

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Fascinated by how the brain networks balance flexibility and stability. Stochastic ensembles in the dlPFC show that transient, dynamic neuron networks can produce reliable population-level representations. A key to understanding cognitive flexibility and resilience! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Opening work email after an extended (and amazing) break can feel overwhelming. My strategy: flag and categorize each email by importance and urgency, then delete the unimportant/non-urgent ones. Today, I cleared about 80%. The Eisenhower Matrix is a game changer: www.forbes.com/sites/hillen...

Got to catch up with @gopu.bsky.social

And the same for Python is here: python-graph-gallery.com/color-palett...

Lots of great reviews out now on networks. Metastability is a new concept for me but digging it. Something we've observed in the lab but haven't linked to attractor dynamics or used that terminology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A nice review of neural oscillations across multiple timescales enable multisensory integration by aligning, segregating, and prioritizing sensory inputs. Fig. 1 is nice. I may print and hang in my office. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I change my email sign-off from 'Regards' to 'Sincerely' just so you know I'm serious.

What a fascinating study on how amygdala networks shift to repetitive 'stay or switch' patterns during stress, disrupting focus on rewards! Stress rewires decision-making circuits, shedding light on how neural dynamics drive overthinking. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neurons in the human brain multitask! Shared neurons fire in bursts for multiple stimuli, but their firing order shifts to create stimulus-specific sequences. A clever, dynamic way the brain encodes complex info. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#JNeurosci: Papale et al. mapped out connections between neurons in mice that form the cellular basis of coordinated movement planning across the two hemispheres of the frontal cortex. doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

I'm going to need a starter pack of starter packs at this point.

I've been on Bluesky for a few months and I am really thrilled to see it taking off. Rediscovering old twitter networks over the past few days has been fun.

First time I wasn't able to make it to one of my favorite meetings but the lab still represented. #MissionConnect

Yet another report by NYT on CTE from the military. It's pervasive. We need to help them. “Over and over and over, high-performing guys spiral down and fall apart,” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/12/u...

I'm feeling a little guilty enjoying these proper fall temps away from the heat wave we have at home. #sfn2024

One week from tonight. The premiere event of the Society for Neuroscience meeting. #SfN24 #SFN2024 www.reggieslive.com/show/pavlovs...

Neurophysiological signatures of default mode network dysfunction and cognitive decline in Alzheimer disease. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.16.613373v1

The dual interpretation of edge time series: Time-varying connectivity versus statistical interaction https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.29.609259v1

Who's got 2 thumbs and didn't think it would be a disaster to make an assignment due on the first day of class? This guy.

PRIME Academy Intern poster presentations.

FA24 is quickly approaching and so are the all day faculty workshops and events.

Mustering more energy to check out yet another platform.
