a man with a beard is standing in a park and talking to another man . Alt: Dr. Strange (I think) aka Bededict C. is saying "we need your help"

Just got off the #WCBR executive committee meeting. We're starting to plan things for #WCBR2027 and we need your help!

Preferences reveal dissociable encoding across prefrontal-limbic circuits Individual preferences for the flavor of different foods and fluids exert a strong influence on behavior. Most current theories posit that preferences are integrated with other state variables in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), which is thought to ...

Want a dataset to test ideas on neural basis of decision making or how areas interact as we make choices? Check out our data published today @rudebecklab.bsky.social. >16,000 single neurons from 22 anatomically confirmed areas in macaques performing a decision task. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test?

In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers.

Sorry to miss you. Would have been great to have you in the discussions.

Looking for a small meeting focused on frontal cortex in health and disease? Check out GRC frontal cortex this August 9-14, 2026 in New Hampshire. The meeting has scientific sessions on neuromodulation, aging, social behavior, reward and more. Also focusing on supporting early stage investigators.

Similarly trying to find the part of the mouse forelimb homologous to a thumb would be impossible. They don’t have them. Now, a part of mouse frontal ctx is responsible for functions that the PFC in humans handles (guide foraging), but that doesn’t make it PFC. It just makes it analogous to PFC.

Using the definition of homologous that I think that many anatomists would use, mice cannot have a PFC that is homologous to primates, tree shrews etc. Homology in biology refers to a feature shared by a common ancestor. Mice don’t have granular frontal ctx so this area cannot be homologous to PFC.

Fair enough. Dick’s perspective is based on the definition given to PFC by the early anatomists including Brodmann who defined PFC as the cortex anterior to the central sulcus with a clearly defined granule cell layer. In that regard many species have PFC including tree shrews and colugos.

The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex: Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight Abstract. The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded dramatically during primate evolution. This book presents a n

Based on a number of books that Dick has written on the subject of PFC, I would imagine that he would say that ACC and OF are not PFC. This book is a great read.

For 2026, I dare the human & rodent behavioral & cognitive neuroscience communities to find one NHP paper relevant to your research & cite it regularly next year when writing up your manuscripts. If you already cite one, find another one and double up. #Neuroskyence bsky.app/profile/vinc...

I definitely didn’t just scrape the web to get the h-index and total citation count as of 12/30/2025 for 319 living and dead nonhuman primate researchers to get a sense of publication metrics by rank on tenure-track.

Really delighted to share our new article in Current Biology showing that the cingulate-to-dorsolateral prefrontal pathway is not involved in trial-to-trial short-term adaptation but rather in sustained motivational control.

Transcriptomic diversity of amygdalar subdivisions across humans and nonhuman primates Specialized cell types and links to psychiatric disorders are revealed by genetic mapping of primate amygdala neurons.

A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions.

Lots of updates from the preprint!

Thalamic nucleus reuniens preferentially targets inhibitory interneurons over pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 region The prefrontal - hippocampal - entorhinal system is perhaps the most widely-studied circuit in cognitive and systems neuroscience, due to its role in supporting cognitive functions such as working mem...

We have updated our nucleus reuniens paper: now with added data from rat (courtesy of Zaf Bashir's lab in Bristol). They also failed to evoke a synaptic response in CA1 pyramidal cells when activating reuniens axons, in either dCA1 or vCA1.
