" It is hard to imagine that before Pat’s research, the PFC was widely considered a “silent” brain area that neurosurgeons could lesion with impunity (as long as they did not damage Broca’s area), and the PFC was not thought to be a proper topic for scientific research."

If you're doing spike-sorting for your research... are you going to try it out?

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.

Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.

Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix

I just made a 🧠 💭 @cogneurophys  group   b/c I didn't see much to collect neurobio of LnM, cognition, neural circuit mechanisms, etc., which I'd love to see in my timeline w/o matching hashtags.

If it's a good idea, you'd need to follow @cogneurophys and then   this to spread the word b/c I'm a teeny whisperer here right now!
