I agree with pretty much everything here. Conferences CAN be in relatively cheap locations, with University dorms available for housing, with strong COVID precautions & promise to house you free if you get stuck due to COVID, etc. We've done that at #RLDM. /1

Today I spoke up at a #FENS2022 discussion event about pandemic effects on mentoring. I spoke about my frustration regarding transmission mitigation at the meeting. I sorta highjacked the discussion and I'm sorry about that, but I just couldn't not say anything and 1/n

How should we understand the brain? What are good categories to study it, things like "perception", "cognition", "emotion"? Paul Cisek nails it!

We just posted the first ever preprint from the lab, so it's tweetprint time! Here, we asked a question that turned out to be a pretty interesting one: what is the representational geometry of value? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Irrational choices via a curvilinear representational geometry for value

We make decisions by comparing values, but how is value represented in the brain? Many models assume, if only implicitly, that the representational geometry of value is linear. However, in part due...

The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences royalsocietypublishing.org/d… This was a pleasure to write with @NeuroPolarbear , and piggyback off his bravado

The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex

Abstract. We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can be seen as fundamentally premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the PFC consis

Replying to @NatalieHBrito
I've seen people get tenure with less than 1 paper a year. I've written tenure letters recommending they get tenure. Do your science as you think it should be done. If that's not good enough, the problem is not you....

This is ridiculous, @SfnTweets. My lab has paid thousands of $ for submission & registration assuming in person. Our travel budget is limited, and trainees want to present, get feedback, and meet scientists in person. #SfNRefundRegistration We will remember this next year.

Reading through my F32 summary statement (discussed but not funded), and one of the reviewers noted my weaknesses is “modest grades including B’s”…. Out of curiosity, when do the grades from classes I took 7+ years ago stop holding so much weight? 1/4

Choice-relevant computations across the medial prefrontal cortex may be organized along a functional gradient @DMaisson @TCashPadgett @ZMayaW @NeuroPolarbear @SRHeilbronner @_janzimmermann_ @UMNeurosci nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
The sigmoid is plotted along with the mean choice behavior across all subjects and recording sessions (n = 4 animals recorded across 525 sessions). Error bars reflect the standard error across sessions. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. D MRI scans of the brain areas targeted for recordings (red = vmPFC, pink = sgACC, purple = pgACC, blue = dACC). A single representative subject is chosen for each area even though two subjects were recorded for each. The right panels denote the targeted brain areas on both transverse and coronal planes.
