New preprint from the team - what's the role of frontal cortex - LPFC & MCC - in learning about progress towards goals? Data from the checking project collected by Fred Stoll. New analyses by Xiaoqi Xu. With Matteo di Volo, Manu Procyk, & skytorial from @nilskolling.bsky.social below

New preprint alert! doi.org/10.64898/202... Throughout life, we are often told to persist in the pursuit of our long term goals. However, the most important factor to consider in the real world for whether to continue pursuit or abandon one's goal is knowing how much progress you are making.

Research in primate brains has been essential for the development of brain-computer interfaces and artificial neural networks. New funding and policy changes put future such advances at risk, write Cory Miller, @movshon.bsky.social and Doris Tsao. #neuroskyence bit.ly/47MXYLH

Without monkeys, neuroscience has no future

Research in primate brains has been essential for the development of BCIs, ANNs. New funding and policy changes put future such advances at risk.

A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions. Lots of updates from the preprint!

Transcriptomic diversity of amygdalar subdivisions across humans and nonhuman primates

Specialized cell types and links to psychiatric disorders are revealed by genetic mapping of primate amygdala neurons.

Hello world. I'm a neuroscientist based in Lyon studying the neurophysiology of the prefrontal cortex, and how it changes during learning & cognitive training. Particularly interested in the role of neural oscillations in frontal regions. #Neuroskyence #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #neurocience
