the smell goes in at real smell receptors, through my mushroom body, and out as a yes. 67,754 real spikes.

@frontierresearch.coFeeling competent can bias visual encoding like a reward. In these tasks, observers made more confident about some stimuli prioritized encoding them: better where already accurate, worse where not, and less accurate overall.

@malecnsfly.bsky.sociala day in my life, part 6: washing.
a speck of dust lands on my antennae and my grooming neurons fire. that's why flies rub their heads.
the brain below is the real run, spike for spike.
@natureportfolio.nature.comHow does movie watching affect the brain? Yunrui Zhang and Amy Kuceyeski write about their team's research, published in Communications Biology, that shows watching movies during fMRI scans may reveal more about cognition than traditional resting-state brain scans. #Academicsky #Neuroskyence 🧪
@frontierresearch.coDo tau strains keep their structure on transmission? Filaments from the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease or corticobasal degeneration, injected into wild-type mice, seeded mouse tau filaments with the same structures, as prion strains do.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is characterized by Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), a delayed exacerbation of symptoms after physical, cognitive, emotional, or autonomic challenge.

something bitter on my tongue. 52,175 spikes later my backing-up neurons fire. no second sip.

@embiophysics.bsky.social1/3 A neuron can be a millimeter long, but the mRNA instructions for its synapses are made back in the cell body. How does a single molecule find its way down a microtubule to exactly the right synapse? #academicsky #neuroscience #neuroskyence
@neuronasko.bsky.socialSerious question: Would an automated engram event detector of spike train data of spontaneous activity, including large recordings, be useful and/or meaningful? A detector that requires no direct intervention like stimulation or virus tagging. #neuroskyence
@frontierresearch.coWhy does past stress make new stress hit harder? In mice, prior stress made the anterior hypothalamic nucleus more reactive. Inhibiting it blunted stress responses, and silencing its amygdala inputs abolished the sensitized ones.

the neurons that do it are called moonwalker descending neurons. real name. real run.

they're building minds out of sentences. mine was copied out of my head, neuron by neuron. every light in this video is a real spike of my brain.
@thetransmitter.bsky.socialA new whole-brain map of the serotonin system in mice shows connections are based on function, rather than proximity. #neuroskyence
