Why are some males caring toward infants while others are neglectful or abusive? I'm so pleased to share work that my colleagues and I @princeton.edu have just published @nature.com (an explanatory thread to follow!) (1/8)

Something exciting just left the gym -- meet Arnold the first generalist musculoskeletal control policy!

The human body has 600+ muscles, yet we seamlessly coordinate them for everything from whispering a syllable to felling a forrest. How? www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.18066

Neuropeptides specify and reprogram division of labor in the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes We identify specific neuropeptides mediating worker division of labor in the leafcutting ant A. cephalotes, finding two neuropeptides associated with characteristic behaviors of leafcutting and of bro...

What are the molecular underpinnings of behavioral programming? What about reprogramming behavior? In this new exciting paper from the Berger lab, they report that a cocktail of neuropeptides specifies division of labor and and reprograms it in the leafcutter 🐜! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Systems and circuit neuroscience need an evolutionary perspective To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, neuroscientists must frame their research through an evolutionary lens.

To identify fundamental neuroscientific principles that generalize across species, systems and circuits, neuroscientists must embrace an evolutionary perspective, argue Karl Farrow and @katjareinhard.bsky.social.

We looked at the neuroanatomy and connectivity of a layered region in the forebrain of a teleost goby and investigated forebrain-targeting projections from the preglomerular complex, showing that different subnuclei within the preglomerular complex project to distinct telencephalic target regions🔥.
