The mental health benefits of continuous-use OCPs cannot be overstated.

The Discovery of the Hippocampal Place Cells This paper describes the events leading up to the discovery of the place cells in 1971 for which the author received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2014, together with May-Britt and Ed...

This first person history by John O'Keefe of the discovery of place cells is a must read.

This whole special issue is full of gems. It's edited by my PhD advisor Michael Hasselmo. It's filled with first person accounts of famous discoveries. Fantastic idea.

New paper from the Geffen and @labhaas.bsky.social Laboratories just published! We find that the enigmatic thalamic reticular nucleus exerts bi-directional cell-specific control over sound processing. The super-thin sheet of inhibitory neurons is rather mighty and highly computationally relevant!

I support.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed.

The result is that soma-dendritic mismatch reflects an error (teaching) signal.

Below panel (5e) is key data, supporting the idea that their SD residual approach captures differences in their two populations as a function of the behavioral outcome (error).

Mike is indeed that talented.

Yes!

Glerups!

not first, but: bottom of (a), top of (c)

I've witnessed similar, at a science conference, evaluating the sex characteristics of a speaker in no uncertain terms. Text in large font, because age I assume, or maybe it was in fact meant for everyone to read after all.

So dehumanizing. Still not sure what I should have done.
