Releasing the Hydra with Rafael Yuste Losing HHMI Investigator status caused Yuste to study neural networks in a new way.

A funding setback led Rafael Yuste to the Hydra, and a new way to study neural networks.

Pioneering the Future: Unveiling Tomorrow's Medicine For many difficult health problems, efforts to improve the lives of patients begin in the lab, where researchers can explore the most intricate origins of disease. University of Utah Health scientists...

Our NIH funded work @utah.edu @uuhsresearch.bsky.social is revealing new mechanisms of complex neurological disorders. Modern medicine wouldn't be where it is today without the NIH and the discoveries made by scientists at universities. utah-health.shorthandstories.com/ptf-unveilin...

Those were the words in the abstract 🤯🤦‍♂️

‘Silence is complicity’ — universities must fight the anti-DEI crackdown Higher-education establishments must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Rebecca Calisi Rodríguez writes in Nature that higher-education establishments in the US must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion. “Higher education must not back down. But to win this fight, universities need a plan.” #Academicsky 🧪

“Given the intensity with which modern neurophysiologists are prowling around the brain with multi-contact electrophysiology probes and wide-field optical imaging, I doubt that there are new, fundamental discoveries to be made with qualitative assessments of neural activity. But who knows?” 🤔

Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling (Gift Article) Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

"Scores of grant review panels were canceled this week, creating a gap in funding from the National Institutes of Health...the delays have deepened what scientists are calling a crisis in American biomedical research.." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

CRISPRi-based screens in iAssembloids to elucidate neuron-glia interactions Using a 3D co-culture system of iPSC-derived neurons and glia, termed iAssembloids, combined with CRISPRi-based screening, Li et al. investigate the effect of glial cells on neuronal activity and surv...

As part of The Transmitter’s first annual book, we asked some of our contributing editors what they think the field should focus on in the years to come. @nicolecrust.bsky.social, Anthony Zador, Joshua Sanes, @russpoldrack.bsky.social and Sheena Josselyn provided their responses.

so interesting!

Sounds great! Thanks for coming and sharing exciting research!

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results - Nature Human Behaviour Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize vast amounts of information. Luo et al. show that LLMs—especially BrainGPT, an LLM the authors tuned on the neuroscience literature—outperform experts in pr...

I recall an interview with Rusty Gage in Nat Neuroscience, where he mentioned that ChatGPT could help students choose research problems to study. Looks like this is shaping up now - BrainGPT to predict neuroscience findings! Fascinating… 🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How to write a grant?
1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant.
2. Communicate in stories.
3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps.
4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading.
5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review.
