How far back? Really far back.
Here's one fundamental example.
Did Hebb come up with what we now call Hebb's Law?
Hebb himself said otherwise.
Find below a letter from Hebb (1977) acknowledging Eugenio Tanzi of having postulated it earlier in 1893!!
Serotonin is such an enigma.
In a fresh paper by the lab of Mark Andermann it is shown that serotonin gates the information flow from retina to thalamus.

Trying to understand the bigger picture, we have recently proposed that serotonin has a central role in digesting information. Our paper w @macshine @DrYohanJohn @claireocallaghan and others can be found here: https://shine-lab.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022_brain.pdf
I'm deep in prepping materials for my neural engineering lab class. It's got me wondering: what are the best venues and formats for sharing course materials? Do neuro folks have any favorite examples of shared course materials?
As neural engineering grows (and matures) as a field, it'd be great to establish shared resources for courses. And I'd love to put some of my materials out there for others to build on.
I wanted to share this Call for Vision Statements for New Neuroscience Collaborations funded by the Simons Foundation in case someone finds it useful. This is significant funding to tackle risky research ideas. Scientists can be based anywhere in the world. Share with people you know!

New #Brain review on “The evidence against somatotopic organization of function in the primate corticospinal tract”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36575147/
In contrast to established ideas (Foerster, 1936; Bell, 1970), they show extensive intermingling of corticospinal outputs from different cortical regions
Text book explanations of the motor sequelae of incomplete spinal injury, are still based on a supposed corticospinal somatotopy
#Neuroscience #Neuroanatomy #Neurophysiology #Physiology #MotorControl
We review the spatial organisation of corticospinal outputs from different cortical areas and how this reflects the varied functions mediated by the corticospinal tract. A long-standing question is whether the primate corticospinal tract shows somatotopical organisation. Although this has been clear …
Summer Intern MindScope Learning reproducible science through contributing to a community python DataBook The mission of the Allen Institute is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health Using an open science multi scale team oriented approach the Allen Institute focuses on accelerating foundational research developing standards and models and cultivating new ideas to make a broad transformational impact on science The MindScope program seeks to understand the transformations sometimes called computations in coding and decoding that lead from photons to behavior and conscious experience by observing perturbing and modeling the physical transformations of signals in the cortical thalamic visual system within a few perception action cycles We are seeking a summer intern to join the Systems Neuroscience department for the summer of 2022 They will work on Learning reproducible science through contributing to a community python Databook The number of open datasets available in the cloud for analysis in System Neuroscience is increasing at a fast pace as DANDI Archive httpsdandiarchiveorg now hosts more than 100 separate datasets These shared datasets not only provide important foundations for neuroscience research but also are unique educational resources to attract new researchers to Neuroscience Thanks to this ecosystem we now have the tools to transition our field toward reproducible analysis and publication figures The goal of this internship is to contribute a set of standardized data analysis Jupyter notebooks to this ecosystem Through the OpenScope project httpsalleninstituteorgwhat we dobrain scienceresearchmindscope programopenscope we are building a library of shared re usable analysis notebooks that will help form the foundation of this Data ReUse community We aim to facilitate both onboarding of new scientists in the analysis of our data as well as entirely new studies of datasets available on DANDI To that end we are assembling a Databook that will eventually be published to the community as a living document embedding both description and code in a cloud location with direct functional links to replicate figures on Binder httpsmybinderorg The intern will be responsible for porting the impactful analysis of neuroscience datasets to this Databook At the end of the internship they will have acquired a deep expertise in creating reproducible and re usable python notebooks The intern will also have learned the basic foundations of Neuroscience data analysis through direct experience with published analysis Their work will also be featured in the Databook as a key part of this living document The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices experiences and backgrounds High quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role Educational Objectives Python Code management GitHub and code revisionReproducible science and associated code practicesJupyterBook publicationSignal processingFoundational analysis of neurophysiological datasetsNeurodata Without Borders files Presentation of data and communication of resultsApplicant Requirements Currently enrolled in or a 2023 graduate of an accredited associate bachelors or masters programMust be able to start on either June 5th or June 20th 2023 and commit to the full 10 week internshipMust be eligible to work in the United States for the duration of the internshipMust be 18 years of age or olderWork Environment Desk job in typical office environmentPhysical Demands Fine motor movements in fingershands to operate computers and other office equipmentPosition TypeExpected Hours of Work This is a limited term position for no more than 10 weeksExpected work schedule is 35 40 hours a week over this period M FThis role is currently able to work both remotely and onsite in a hybrid work environment We are a Washington State employer and the primary work location for all Allen Institute employees is 615 Westlake Ave N;
