Humans have been hanging out with dogs for even longer than we thought Two new papers have shown that dogs were fully distinct from wolves—and companions with people—more than 14,000 years ago.

🧬🐶💀 Two new studies show that, even before farming, dogs were common in ancient cultures, maybe aiding in guard duty, hunting, & rituals. “We call it the Swiss Army Dog, adapting to cultural roles we associate with dogs today.” @lachiescarsbrook.bsky.social

I am thrilled to announce that our group has received a new grant from the Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation to study the neural dynamics of vocal learning in children! I am looking for a postdoc to join us in this effort, currently funded for 2 years. Please reach out with CV and letter of interest.

Medial Pulvinar Nucleus as a Causal Hub for Heteromodal Naming Our ability to retrieve the names of objects in our environment is a fundamental aspect of everyday life. This process requires a complex, dynamic network of cortical and subcortical interactions. Whi...

Out now in #JNeurosci! We used direct recordings and stimulation in human pulvinar to probe its causal role during naming from pictures, and spoken and written descriptions. We found naming-selective responses and stim-induced pure anomia.

EEG requires many neurons aligned so that their electric fields can positively sum to spread up to the scalp. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how "open fields" contribute to EEG recordings.

Animacy semantic network supports causal inferences about illness Making causal inferences about illness, compared to making causal inferences about mechanical breakdown and reading causally unconnected sentences, activates a semantic brain network implicated in the conceptual representation of animate entities (e.g. people, animals).

New paper with Marina Bedny out in eLife (elifesciences.org/articles/101...). Main takeaway: Different kinds of causal knowledge are supported by different semantic brain networks - consistent with the "intuitive theories" framework from developmental psychology. 1/
