Hi #Neuroscience community! Please help. Does anyone know about Substantia Nigra (SN) hemispheral #lateralization effects of dopamine production or connectivity? If you don't know the answer please share on so someone who knows will see this!

How do we know when we're hot, cold, or in pain? The answer is a sixth sense you may not have known existed. Serena Chen teaches us all about interoception in this week's post: pennneuroknow.com/2024/04/16/i... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #SciComm 🧪

Thoughts on MNE vs EEGlab? Where should I invest my time in learning? Context: New to EEG stuff I mainly code in Python Interested in TMS-EEG stuff. #CogPsy #neuroscience #EEG #brain #brainimaging #neuroimaging

Interest in brain-body coupling is rising. Current methods typically focus on a single brain-body axis, like heart-brain, in isolation. @danlikesbrains.bsky.social, @jgross.bsky.social, and I argue that the brain and body exhibit complex, multi-scale dynamics. Read more: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Timing is important, but how do we get better at it? In the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, we show how the Default Mode and Timing Networks interact to give rise to timing improvements. #neuroskyence www.jneurosci.org/content/44/9...

Another function of neural traveling waves is clearing metabolic waste. The waves are there for a reason. It turns out that there are many reasons. Neuronal dynamics direct cerebrospinal fluid perfusion and brain clearance www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Super interesting study!

I talked a lot to Fletcher about potential dystopian futures, and the one that I can't stop thinking about these days is @emmanewman.bsky.social's terrifyingly plausible "After Atlas", where neural implants enable both wonderful and deeply terrible things. We need neurorights!

End of year is a good time to apologize for our transgressions. Who apologizes more: men or women? A #psychology research shows women apologize more. The reason? The bar for what is considered a transgression is higher for men… #socialpsych #PsychSciSky🧪 scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=i...

Have you already tried our RBS method to measure cognitive fluctuations in movies, which can be matched with neural fluctuations? You can use it within subjects, or on an independent group for temporal tagging. Super high reliability! w/ Erez Simony and Rafi Malach doi.org/10.3389/fnhu... 🧠📈 #cogsci

Endogenous activity in brain is perturbed by exogenously driven activity (from inputs). There are many studies about this. But are there studies about the transition back to endogenously-dominated activity once the impact of the external stimulus dies out? #neuroscience @themindwanders.bsky.social

New work! Compact deep neural network models of visual cortex B. Cowley, P. Stan, J. Pillow*, M. Smith* tiny.cc/dmxhvz Task-driven DNN models nicely predict neural responses but have millions of params---next to impossible to explain. Do they need to be so large?
