@thetransmitter.bsky.socialA new study shows that mouse cortical organoids can look much like the developing brain overall, yet individual stem-cell lineages lose some of their normal timing—an important caveat for organoid research. #neuroskyence

@bipolardiscoveries.org💈💈BD² is awarding more than $13M in grants to 3 new Discovery Research teams studying the biology of mood state switching in #BipolarDisorder.
The teams are led by @drlaramieduncan.bsky.social, PhD, Susan Dymecki, MD, PhD, & Akira Sawa, MD, PhD. 🔗 bit.ly/4rrCblZ
@cshlnews.bsky.socialPublished in Nature Neuroscience, new circuit models of the brain’s visual cortex and lateromedial visual area, courtesy of CSHL's Javadzadeh lab, reveal how the brain builds consensus to process visual input. https://www.cshl.edu/when-the-eyes-play-tricks-the-brain-builds-consensus/

@embiophysics.bsky.social1/3 What if a solitary microtubule, shaking at gigahertz frequencies, could launch an electric pulse that travels 10 µm—enough to coordinate a whole mitotic spindle? #academicsky #microtubules #neuroskyence

Neuroscientists now recording across the brain are finding what fMRI revealed in humans. Signals are not localized but often all over the brain.

@dwaynegodwin.bsky.socialP(Doom): Why the Outlook on Extinction-Level AI Is Both Better and Worse Than You Think. I debunk the idea that you can calculate the probability of a doomsday scenario, outline more immediate hazards of AI, and propose regulatory solutions. dwaynegodwin.substack.com/p/pdoom #policy #neuroskyence 🧠

@nickjourjine.bsky.socialNew preprint!
TLDR: We mapped the genetic architecture of neonatal vocalization in deer mice, and found candidate genes expressed in the cerebellum that could be contributing to the evolution of temporal structure in infant cries
@wirepulleroo.bsky.socialOne brain, two origins? Mouse lineage tracing and human stem cells identify anterior and posterior neural progenitors linked to different brain regions. It generates hindbrain motor neurons in vitro. Intriguing, but not evidence of two independent brains.
@nicolasambuco.bsky.socialThe knowledge paradox: the more science we publish, the more often we write that “little is known”.
Across PubMed publication years, the two track almost perfectly: r = .98.
More knowledge, more documented unknowns.
