Donald Hebb’s theory—memorably summarized as “cells that fire together, wire together”— does not explain the shifting hippocampal connections that occur in mice as they learn to navigate an unfamiliar virtual environment. By @sydney_elise44 thetransmitter.org/memory/le…

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two @Nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. Are we too bamboozled to see the truth? Share if this hits hard!

I don’t understand people who keep the window shade down on a plane. We’re 35 thousand feet in the sky. You don’t want to check out the view? We’re above the freaking clouds, for God’s sake. Humans could only dream of a view like this for millennia. And you have the shade down.
