The NIH intramural program is a unparalleled in both its ability to do bleeding edge science and train the next generation of scientists. Not renewing Title 42 employees is hellacious. www.science.org/content/arti...

I remember when the water in lakes in Upstate NY was brown from the impact of acid rain. I was a teenager. This change has happened in < 25 years. Regulation works.

Since it’s pretty obvious to everyone that the executive order will be tested in court and then at least partially blocked or rescinded, there is no motivation to move quickly other than hurrying up the boot-licking embrace of racism and fascism.

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US. Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪 We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

I am grateful that many of us are doing this but it also ticks me off that we have to do it (instead of focusing on our science) in part because university media relations and admins have done a poor job of lobbying for science and scientists

I have an article posting on arXiv tomorrow. I realized after I submitted that the posting schedule will announce it during the inauguration tomorrow. 🙃 It’s a review/perspectives about how recurrent cortical networks in diff sensory areas all seem to selectively filter inputs, boosting…

Here, Koyano et al. show that 🐒 neurons in certain face patches barely react to pareidolia (illusory faces in objects). doi.org/10.1016/j.pn... To those who have argued that the brain "obviously" processes stimuli that look like faces as faces—it's not that simple.

I am old so I can say this: innovation in neuroscience research can be accelerated if we did not waste so much resources repeating what we already know from NHP and rat research in Cre mouse lines

Led by Satoka Fujimoto & with @russbeneuro.bsky.social and Helen Mayberg our first paper on the effects of deep brain stimulation for depression in the brain. What’s exciting is that we find it induces localized white matter remodeling in cingulum bundle. @SinaiBrain www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're having a bit of a tough quarter over at Skype a Scientist. I'm writing grants nonstop over here but won't know if it's working for a couple months. The collapse of social media has made our business model of many small donors beak. In the meantime, your support is VERY appreciated.

Our first paper describing using barcoding approaches to map single neuron connectivity in macaques is out today. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... Here we profiled the connectivity of over 3,000 basolateral amygdala neurons. We found that single neuron projections were highly diffuse and structured.
