The dark matter of the brain?? At least for fMRI studies??

This could be an issue for fMRI-BOLD lovers all over... Food for thought in any case.

What do people think?

Resting state brain networks arise from electrophysiology-invisible signals

Resting-state brain networks (RSNs) have been widely applied in health and disease, but their interpretation in terms of the underlying neural activity is unclear. To systematically investigate this cornerstone issue, here we simultaneously recorded whole-brain resting-state functional magneti...

@elduvelle_neuro as someone who used #Tetrodes for quite a few years in both #rats and #mice, i'd strongly urge people to use high-density #probes if possible! far more cost effective, more data, less animals, less time. tetrodes should be the exception when recording geometry or other issues demand it.

In contrast to NHP economic #decisionmaking where task variables are represented in OFC goods space, this finding suggests rodent OFC has a role in action space. In line with what our lab also finds using different task and methods 🐀 #neuroscience https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01409-1
Orbitofrontal cortex control of striatum leads economic decision-making - Nature Neuroscience

The authors show that choice information is relayed from the ventrolateral orbitofrontal cortex to the dorsomedial striatum to lead accurate economic decision-making.

Hi all! My first "neuro-focused" post 🧠​ has to be these beautiful #PlaceCells that I recorded in a #NeuroRat foraging for cocops in a rectangle. #Hippocampus

#NeuroForNewbies ⏬​(trying this out)

What are "place cells"? They are a category of neurons, first discovered in the brain of rats, that activate only in specific locations in a given environment. Each place cell fires at a different location, together forming a sort of map (#CognitiveMap) of all the locations that we know.

plot legend is described in the alt-text

(Edit: added hippocampus tag)
