Nicole RustCoincidentally (I didn't know this was coming, honest!), a big article was published just today claiming that the motivation to exercise depends on the microbiome of the gut (in mice).
The gist is that certain microbiomes produce chemicals that prevent the breakdown of dopamine in the brain during exercise. And when that happens, mice tend to be more active. Following antibiotics, these effects disappear. But they are restored again once the microbiome is restored.
The potential of this finding, if true: “If we can confirm the presence of a similar pathway in humans, it could offer an effective way to boost people’s levels of exercise to improve public health generally.”

Guilhem IbosJust a little bragging. After long and dedicated efforts, my group is now recroding simultaneously in LIP, PFC and V4 simultaneously (1 linear probe, 2 Utah Arrays, 160 channels). This is what it looked like today. Hopefully, we'll have some results to show soon!
Marlene CohenCome join us! Our wonderful lab manager is heading to grad school, so we are looking for a full time, paid research assistant/lab manager for our lab at U Chicago! Our work (http://cohenlab.com) combines many approaches to study the neural basis of vision & cognition. We are looking for people who enjoy learning new things (we will teach you what you need to know). We value a diverse set of ideas and viewpoints from a diverse set of people. Contact me or apply here https://uchicago.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External/job/Research-Technician_JR19715
Nicole RustFollowing on the idea that the theories we will need to tackle the complexity of the brain have not been developed yet (e.g. https://mastodon.social/@NicoleCRust/109472784550141853)
What types of up and coming theoretical(ish) frameworks are you most excited about? Dynamical systems / RNNs? Topology? Network theory? Something else entirely?

NeurofrontiersIt looks like this platform might finally become more populated, so let me (re)introduce this page.
Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of three people: a computational neuroscientist, a psychologist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

CelloMom On Cars"France has officially been given the go-ahead to halt environmentally-damaging domestic #flights.
Initially, the ban will only affect routes between Paris Orly and Nantes, Lyon, and Bordeaux.
Connecting flights will also have to follow these new rules."
