Happy to have this finally out! TL;DR: The evolution of beliefs over time can be formulated as a dynamical system, and OFC neural activity appears to implement this system with its own dynamics. These emerge without explicit supervision—when animals learn to predict value in simple Pavlovian tasks

My postdoc work at @uclacollege.bsky.social in the #CorreaLab is now published at @pnas.org! 🙌 Our broad question was - do estrogens act on the brain to coordinate thermoregulatory adaptations during pregnancy? 1/8

Watching other animals fight is very common across the animal kingdom, so it must be highly adaptive! @dextertsin.bsky.social, Jorge Iravedra-Garcia and I explore some ideas of how animals might learn from this experience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What has changed in mama bear brain (well, actually mice) to make her risk her life to attack a potential threat and protect her young? Oxytocin is the key! Happy to share our new study led by two awesome postdocs: Takashi Yamaguchi and Rongzhen Yan. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The neural mechanisms supporting the rise and fall of maternal aggression - Nature

In mice, female aggression is governed by an amygdala–to–medial hypothalamus circuit that is strengthened during pregnancy and is dynamically amplified by oxytocin during lactation.

I had a great time talking to Meenakshi about my trajectory through neuroscience! Tune in for electric fish, imaging the hypothalamus, and trying to find a path in theory that stays relevant to the brain. Also, my early phd experiences of trying to do science when real life rears its head.

Cosyne invited me to give a long tutorial (4 hours!) on methods to quantify differences high-d neural recordings across animals, brain regions, deep neural nets, etc. The recording is up on youtube. I hope it inspires more research on this fundamental topic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n44x...

New discovery! Different anesthetics all seem to push the brain into unconsciousness in the same way: Activity is destabilized and dominated by slow waves. This could block signals. www.cell.com/cell-reports... #neuroscience @picowerinstitute.bsky.social @mitbcs.bsky.social

Similar destabilization of neural dynamics under different general anesthetics

Eisen et al. find that three molecularly distinct anesthetics convergently destabilize cortical dynamics in non-human primates. This loss of stability manifests as slower recovery from perturbations. ...
