Neuroscience lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

New from the lab: Fred Stoll & Neelima Valluru looked at how neural activity in frontal ctx tracks deliberative decision making. In a trial they found that activity flips between the options. When this flip happens it reshapes the neural geometry of option attributes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dynamic geometry remapping of neural activity within frontal and subcortical areas during decision-making

Decision-making involves dynamic evaluation of competing options. Recording 16,495 neurons across nine frontal and subcortical areas in macaques revealed brain-wide fluctuations between encoding the a...

Where, exactly, does learning happen in the brain? Out today in @nature.com, we identify a synaptic locus of birdsong learning and show that the circuit can be tuned to make birds learn faster - but at a cost. Read on👇 #neuroskyence 🧪 #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics Shareable link: rdcu.be/fiyrS

Looking for a small meeting focused on frontal cortex in health and disease? Check out GRC frontal cortex this August 9-14, 2026 in New Hampshire. The meeting has scientific sessions on neuromodulation, aging, social behavior, reward and more. Also focusing on supporting early stage investigators.

GRC Frontal Cortex@grc-frontal-cortex.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Calling all PFC and PFC-adjacent neuroscientists--registration for the GRC Frontal Cortex - "Frontal Cortex in Function, Dysfunction, & Therapies" is open! Check out the amazing lineup of speakers for this year's program, feat. keynotes by Geoff Schoenbaum & Helen Mayberg www.grc.org/frontal-cort...

For 2026, I dare the human & rodent behavioral & cognitive neuroscience communities to find one NHP paper relevant to your research & cite it regularly next year when writing up your manuscripts. If you already cite one, find another one and double up. #Neuroskyence bsky.app/profile/vinc...

I definitely didn’t just scrape the web to get the h-index and total citation count as of 12/30/2025 for 319 living and dead nonhuman primate researchers to get a sense of publication metrics by rank on tenure-track.

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.
