Neural trajectory plot showing neural activity moving through orthogonal corollary discharge and feedback signal subspaces
New preprint! 🧵🧪🧠
doi.org/10.64898/202...
Upshot: somatosensory cortex contains both feedback *and* intended movement signals (a.k.a. corollary discharge). These two signals exist orthogonally in neural space, flexibly allowing both fast state estimation and external perturbation detection. 1/

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer
It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Pasteur Institute of Iran, founded in 1920 now destroyed by Israel-US bombing😞
It played a pivotal role in developing vaccines & public health services, for over a century, now gone😞
A few days ago a pharmaceutical plant was bombed, accused of making anesthetic fentanyl

How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain?
What could be the functional implications of cardioception?
We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.
An amazing opportunity for students to get their foot in the door for neuroscience research!
Great to see a program explicitly welcome applicants from community colleges and folks with no prior experience!!

Thanks @sabinekrabbe.bsky.social for the invitation! See you soon 🤩
Looking forward to being in @bonnbrainconf.bsky.social in less than two weeks. Reach out if you are around and would like to meet up! 🙌
Honored, a little nervous, and mostly very excited to be included in such a cool lineup 🤩 on #learning and #memory 🐀🐾🧠

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
🧑🔬For International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we asked some of our early-career researchers what it means to them, to be a woman in STEM.

New paper alert! 🚨
We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales
1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks
2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit
This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps.

In 2021, Sama Ahmed received our Fellows-to-Faculty Award to establish his lab at @uwpsychology.bsky.social, where he focuses on the neurobiology of multitasking: www.simonsfoundation.org/fellows-to-faculty-award... #science #neuroscience
Thrilled this is out, led by former PD Cameron Ogg (now with her own lab at @rhodescollege.bsky.social!). It was a driven by a desire to see, in real-time, how LC activity/NE release influences downstream targets in behaving animals. SO hard to do, but Cameron did it! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Large-scale ephys is exploding but spike sorting remains the computational bottleneck. A 2-hr, 6-probe Neuropixels 2.0 Quad Base session can take over a week to sort on a single machine. Here's a better solution. 🧵

😭 Rest in power and peace Zara 🤍
🥺 whut?!
So sad to hear this 💔 Zara was such a beautiful and special person. She embodied power and purpose like few others can. My thoughts are with her friends and loved ones :(
Enjoyed listening to Jee Hyun Kim from Deakin University, Australia share with us her research on #bipolardisorder #IAN2025
Love it when scientists bring their whole self to their work 👏🏽
