Nature research paper: Convergent vocal representations in parrot and human forebrain motor networks https://go.nature.com/4iEIBsz

Like every year, our lab plans to attend the @sfn.org meeting in the US. But is it safe to go? This scientist was sent back (as confirmed by @lemonde.fr, no less). Other visitors were recently detained by ICE goons for days. It feels risky. See y'all at FENS in Barcelona? www.fens.org

A dynamic bifurcation mechanism explains cortex-wide neural correlates of conscious access www.cell.com/cell-reports... by @ulysse-klatzmann.bsky.social @standehaene.bsky.social et al.; "The connectome defines a unified, all-or-none network in association cortex"; #ignition #neuroscience

๐ŸŽ‰ New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122 Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Our paper in Nature (@mkwittmann.bsky.social et al.): the brain does not only process the *identity* of a person but primarily our *relationship* to them. Even on a neural level, who someone is *in relation to others* is key. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #PsychSciSky #socialpsyc #neuroskyence

Grateful and proud to share my first-author paper as a grad student with @benhayden.bsky.social How does the human hippocampus keep track of multiple objects moving in space? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

About 70 percent of a batโ€™s hippocampal cells turn on during a social interactionโ€”a โ€œsuper high percentage,โ€ says Angie Selles. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/social-behav... #neuroskyence

Hello, Bluesky! โ˜€๏ธ We fund frontier research in Europeโ€”bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So itโ€™s only fitting weโ€™ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Social contagion is a powerful force. People copy thoughts, feelings, & actions of those to whom they are connected. Understanding social network structure & function makes it possible to use social contagion to intervene in the world to improve human welfare. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/

New research reveals that like humans and other social mammals, cats tend to mirror the faces of their companionsโ€”a key component to getting along. scim.ag/3PBDsom

Excited to share my first first-author paper out now in PNAS! By comparing retinotopically-defined visual areas in macaques and humans, we found that evolutionary expansion is reflected in the size, not number, of visual areas. #neuroskyence #neuroscience www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Check our latest in which we leverage shape metrics to compare neural geometry across regions, sessions or subjects and how their differences predict behavior. w/ Nejatbakhsh, Duong, @sarah-harvey.bsky.social, Brincat, @siegellab.bsky.social, @earlkmiller.bsky.social & @itsneuronal.bsky.social

Created a starter pack of neuroscience in/from Paris. Let me know if you want to be added (the 'from' can include those not in Paris anymore) or just tap in if you want to know what we're talking about! Regardless, please re-tweet! go.bsky.app/3Zs9w5w

1st post on bsky - about bsky! I was fascinated with academic starter packs and made an interactive network to see academic communities and how they connect - a map of knowledge! link to an interactive & searchable network: ketikagarg.github.io/blueSkyAcade...

Hello Bluesky! I'm the neuroscientist who turns brains into soup to find out what they are made of, currently working on finding out what determines how much energy brains use and how large they become. Follow me for thoughts on life, the brain, and everything. www.ted.com/talks/suzana...

www.jneurosci.org/content/44/3... Please read this recent timely piece in J Neurosci by Basso et al - the SimCo crew! @simiancollective.bsky.social

The latest paper from the Shea Lab is out today online. Here @anowlan.bsky.social shows that responses to sound in the auditory cortex merge with olfactory information via the basal amygdala. This is likely an important pathway for maternal behavior www.cell.com/current-biol...

Joining the club! A social and affective neuroscience starter pack! go.bsky.app/MXAKEYN A very partial list. Let us know if you would like to be added.

Ok, I don't think an #EvolutionaryNeuroscience starter pack existed already...so I have started one! This is not nearly as exhaustive as it should be, so drop your name (or the names of your colleagues) in the comments if you want to be added!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™Œ go.bsky.app/Q2UW2Sn

Fun to see this place coming a bit more alive! I tried my hand at a starter pack for neural engineering & computationally-leaning (systems) neuroscience. Super not exhaustive, so if you want to be added (or removed), just ping me. I'm still working on finding folks here. go.bsky.app/Ty3ftme

Just In case people need to follow people in neuroscience focused on natural behaviors and the brains of cool non-trad animals! Please join let me know if you wanna be added. go.bsky.app/AcLpM4h

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you ๐Ÿคญ go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! ๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿง https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7

I've created a feed associated with theFace Processing starter pack (go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU). You can post to the feed using any of the following tags: #FaceMatching, #FaceMemory, #FaceLearning, #FaceIdentification, #FacialAttactiveness, #FacialFirstImpressions, #FaceProcessing, #FaceRecognition

I've started working on a (very incomplete!) starter pack for social interaction researchers! If you're working in this space, please asked to be added (or suggest others)! Meant to be inclusive of many disciplines, methods, interaction types, and types of interacting agents: go.bsky.app/44VAEhU

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
