In natural conversations, people can stop speaking at any time. How? Using high-density electrocorticography, Zhao et al. find a distinct neural signal in the human premotor cortex that inhibits speech output to achieve abrupt stopping. ChangLabUCSF nature.com/articles/s4156…

Beautiful Paper. A comprehensive survey of post-training methods including fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and test-time scaling to refine LLMs reasoning. Methods Explored in this Paper 🔧: → Systematically explores fine-tuning techniques that adapt LLMs for specific

Very cool paper! I was wondering about the same question a couple of days ago in my advanced neuro class

Does anyone have any good book or lecture recommendations on the Hippocampus? It would be great if it was in the last 5 years.

I've uploaded 12 lecture videos on ``Introduction to Manifolds & Differential Geometry" and would like your feedback! Have you watched any? What do you think? too simple? Too fast or too slow? Would you like more historical context? Let me know! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

If you like the puzzle, check out the book I took it from. It is short, full of cute illustrations, and accessible to everyone with high school math. It took me a few months on and off to work through the book with pure visualization. If you want to learn topology and level up

possibly stupid philosophical question: is there a strong reason to think emergence goes small to big rather than big to small? i.e. why don't we think of small scale phenomena to emerge from large scale ones?

Anyone know any good summer research programmes in systems neuroscience for international undergraduate students?

Interesting weekend read: A series of studies published earlier this year suggests that birds & mammals did not inherit the neural pathways that generate intelligence from a common ancestor, but rather evolved them independently. quantamagazine.org/intelligence-e… ✍️ Yasemin Saplakoglu

This time-lapse captures 17h of axonal growth from a chick dorsal root ganglion explant, seen through the actin cytoskeleton using live imaging. I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours!😉 #neuroscience

Living organisms transform energy not only to pattern their own internal structures, they also pattern their environment An eight-week-old starfish larvae patterns the movement of surrounding fluid to feed itself We, too, pattern our environment
