At #SfN2024 on Wed. 1:30 PM? Checkout the talk by (X-free) Chris Cueva who - w/ Andrii Zahorodnii, Diego Mendoza-Halliday, N. Qian & B. Desimone - uses data and models to suggest that dynamic working memory representations help avoid interference from new inputs (2024.ccneuro.org/poster/?id=290).

not a Nobel but still pretty exciting to receive a New Innovator Award from the NIH Common Fund! We'll be using it to study the developmental origins of primate/human brain innovations Princeton Neuroscience Institute. #NIHHighRisk

Undergrads/graduates: if you want to do a PhD, can’t afford to do a masters and know the area you want to do a PhD in, a perfectly decent alternative is to apply for a research assistant job and gain substantial research experience. Check jobs.ac.uk for job ads

Absolutely cracking paper by super team Brandon Munn Eli Muller Mac Shine . Down Under, Top of the World.

Please take the time to read this Open letter of psychologists and neuroscientists for peace in the Middle East — I signed it wholeheartedly, and so did thousands of fellow scientists. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

I am excited to share the last work of my postdoc as a Swartz Fellow at NYU on the dynamic routing of large-scale cognitive networks in the neocortex! 🌐🧠 Here's a quick breakdown below : 🧵 preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What happens in the brain when a stimulus enters consciousness? We built a biophysical model of the cortex to zoom in to synaptic interactions and zoom out to whole-cortex neural dynamics during perception. It revealed a key mechanism for ignition🧵... cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Fantastic that there are now Books Upstairs in Books Upstairs. A real gem and an independent bookshop that deserves your support.
