Love it!

Some reports say over 500 schools, 55 libraries, & 25 universities hit.
You can debate the numbers, but hitting Sharif University & Beheshti is like hitting MIT & Stanford. I keep wondering: How would the scientific community respond differently if it was those universities? What’s the difference?

You guys in the USA need to go in GLOBAL STRYKE. JUST STOP WORKING. Do this for days. Stop the country. Stop the fool, my goodness. You have massive power. Use it !

The Per2Con group at CIMeC is actively seeking Post-Docs interested in investigating how newborns 👶 🧒 perceive 👁️👂and learn, using 🧠 HD EEG and eye-tracking.

✨You are motivated to work on neurodevelopment: we would love to hear from you to prepare a grant proposal together (Marie-Curie, Fyssen...)

I have a dream

The hyperexcitability of laterodorsal tegmentum cholinergic neurons accompanies adverse behavioral and cognitive outcomes of prenatal stress - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - The hyperexcitability of laterodorsal tegmentum cholinergic neurons accompanies adverse behavioral and cognitive outcomes of prenatal stress

Another cool paper from Iran: nature.com/articles/s41... Prenatal stress makes mouse offspring more anxious, hyperactive, forgetful, and more drawn to morphine while laterodorsal tegmentum cholinergic neurons become hyperexcitable. From Kerman, a city with reported violent crackdowns on protests.

Writing is thinking

In my opinion asking “how” does not make the question of “where” less relevant. We will understand if we are able to take into account and therefore answer both questions. Dichotomies can sometimes be useful but they are not necessarily neither right not interesting.

What about neuropsychological syndromes? Digital agnosia, apraxia, prosopagnosia, alexia, semantic dementia, … how cannot these selettive diseases prove modularity?

Seeing the Mind, Educating the Brain | Collège de France

💫 🧠💡This inspiring conference “Seeing the Mind, Educating the Brain” has just ended, and I am very grateful for having been there among brilliant scientists connected by a common passion for the brain, and a common friendship with the great Stan Dehaene!
Talks (including mine) are online here 👇

@marcobuiatti.bsky.social this will interest you!

How awful! Sorry to hear you had to go through this …

New paper out in @commsbio.nature.com!

Strategic omission:
knowingly leaving out relevant prior work to make findings seem more novel is academic dishonesty.
Adding citations later doesn’t undo the damage.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.


I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

We have an open postdoc position with Rik Henson @rhens.bsky.social and Emily Holmes, at the Emotional Cognition Lab dtalmi.wixsite.com/emotional-co..., @uniofcam.bsky.social to conduct advanced memory modelling. Details here: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50770/ Apply by 21.4!

I would have bet! Humans are no magic …

The President of the US and richest man on earth, unilaterally STOPPED children’s cancer research and clinical trials because they view them as “wasteful”.
