📋 Great papers in the queue for a special collection on the Neurobiology of Associative Learning! It’s not too late to contribute- the submission deadline is June 15. Get in touch with me or @kurtfraser.bsky.social💡✅ academic.oup.com/oons/pages/c...
Excited to share our latest in @currentbiology.bsky.social (they who publish the coolest papers!)
Memories are encoded by sparse neuronal ensembles (engrams). But most evidence comes from "simple" associative learning tasks. What about more integrative memories like spatial navigation?
![Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreid4y3gbxwc5dg4mbzycsbij2lkhte22722ei7rupowkzm7juimqvy)

Larson, Breathed, and Watterson were prophets and we were all too stupid in the 80's to see it.
hmmm do I want waffles for breakfast
I mean the chances of inadvertently developing super-intelligent autonomous AI agents that want to eliminate humanity are about the same as successfully developing approaches to genetically engineer humans with substantially improved intelligence.

New FeiginLab paper is OUT! A commonly prescribed anti-anxiety drug reduces inflammatory signaling in pancreatic cancer through regulation of cancer-associated fibroblast activity!

its not that extreme to tax people's second homes over $5 Million dollars so that normal people can have functional government services. Don't let these ghouls fool you.
thrilled that i got this madonna song title into @science.org. the song is so true and the music video has the best cinematography.
Truly beautiful
Anti-amyloid drugs, in a meta analysis, do not meet the risk:benefit tradeoffs necessary to recommend to patients, at least according to this Cochrane review.

In collaboration with the Llobet lab in Barcelona and the NXR, we characterized a Xenopus model of Danon disease, a rare lysosomal disorder. Extra cool that the functional characterization was done during the Neurobiology course at @mblscience.bsky.social last summer!
A play in two parts:
Furthermore: write your own Response to the Reviewers. I am reviewing a paper right now that clearly used genAI and it's bad, it's distracting and signals "I do not value your time" 🧪

Etkili Haber Yeni Sayfa TKIL ABE! @etkilihaberyeni Ø Translated from Turkish Show original New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time and made shocking statements: -We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth. -We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era. -The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.
-After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty. -President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people. -(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) I get your joke, and l even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning. -According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you. -It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.
-(When the host interrupted him) No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister. -(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.
What we wanted was for Keir Starmer to go on Kuenssberg the day after the election and do this
I can't believe I used to do this trip all the time.
3rd edition done. Needs formatting and checking of the chapter references since I added a new chapter at the beginning on seeing your research enterprise as an enterprise (some of our research leadership content). Anybody need a grant writing handbook?
