I am such a fan of @wolfgangstein.bsky.social's comparative STG work that reveals why some species are more resilient to changing oceans than others. Read more below!

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

1/8 New preprint alert!

How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain?
What could be the functional implications of cardioception?

We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.

I'm excited for this webinar on how evolution has shaped behavioral flexibility, and how that's reflected in neural architecture - happening tomorrow and featuring a stellar line up of speakers! #KavliNeuro

SfN Neuronline logo. The Kavli Foundation logo. Webinar title: Behavioral and Evolutionary Adaptations to Changing Environments. Wednesday, February 18, 11 a.m.–noon EST. Sophie Caron, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Biological Sciences, University of Utah. Marco Gallio, PhD, Department of Neurobiology, Northwestern University. Katja Reinhard, PhD, Associate Professor, Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA).

Ever wondered why birds from the north migrate to warmer climates before winter?

Join this webinar with @kavlifoundation.org to explore how evolution has shaped brain architecture and the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.

another amazing one from @nbellono.bsky.social & team!

Dimensionality reduction may be the wrong approach to understanding neural representations. Our new paper shows that across human visual cortex, dimensionality is unbounded and scales with dataset size—we show this across nearly four orders of magnitude. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

The Kavli Foundation, the WoodNext Foundation, and Partners Announce… Collaborative awards will bring new technology to mid-sized observatories, accelerating discovery in planetary and stellar science.

Inaugural awards from our Instrumentation for Astrophysics program will bring advanced instruments to
@lickobservatory.bsky.social and @mcdonaldobs.bsky.social, expanding what mid-sized telescopes can do.

"When scents vanish, they erase relationships between plants, animals, and people.” Great article in @atmosmag.bsky.social about climate change erasing the scents of daily life, and featuring @riffelllab.bsky.social

🧠🌍 SO excited to announce this new set of grant awards in partnership with NSF. Awardees will investigate mechanisms of neural resilience to a range of anthropogenic stressors across a range of species. Congrats to the awardees!

The hidden neurological toll of wildfires Disaster response systems are woefully unprepared to address long-term neurological health impacts.

I have an op-ed in @statnews.com today (with the incomparable Dr. Burcin Ikiz!) on the longterm neurological toll of wildfires: www.statnews.com/2025/08/19/w... (short 🧵 follows; not a story of 'climate anxiety')

Join us (and @sfn.org) this Wednesday for a webinar that will explore how brains cope with changing environments. Hear from experts on recent advances in the field.
