#JNeurosci: Yili Zhao, Lee et al. found that associative learning across rewarding or painful contexts triggered overlapping brain pathways, suggesting that the brain may use the same network for learning in different contexts. doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

How the human eye moves

(1/5) 🧵Our new preprint shows how the brain develops to transform how kids, teens & adults represent & navigate their world: shifting from local, moment-to-moment memories in childhood to integrated, global cognitive maps in adulthood. Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

State transitions could be rather sharp in terms of dynamics, suggesting a more abrupt change in the regime of dynamics.

Being in nature reduces fatigue and boosts attention. 34 experiments: After walking, playing, and learning in parks, forests, or water, kids & teens show better focus and self-control. Not all outdoor time is equal. Green and blue spaces are more refreshing than urban settings.

People who engage in altruism that benefits themselves are derogated. Why? Social rewards are treated as being reserved for costly prosocial actions. Claiming such rewards without incurring costs seems like cheating and thus deserves moral derogation journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
