The academic community failed Wikipedia for 25 years — now it might fail us
Artificial-intelligence systems are feeding on Wikipedia without giving back, and academic indifference is threatening the survival of what is arguably the most widely used reference work on the plane...

Great read by @alexkwan.bsky.social on how fundamental neuroscience research has paved the way for new drug development.
I’d also highlight orexin’s role in sleep–wake regulation and the upcoming wave of dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) for sleep disorders (& soon agonists for narcolepsy).

A growing list of medications—such as zuranolone for postpartum depression, suzetrigine for pain, and the gepants class of migraine medicines—exist because of insights from basic research, writes @alexkwan.bsky.social.

We all screw up from times to times when reviewing. It’s frustrating for the authors, sure, but the planet keeps rotating. A strong paper will find its readers and its citations anyway.
This is a great example.

An AI agent, run by collaborators on another continent, generated equations that explain the dynamics of the neurons we recorded 🤯
Finally had the time to read the paper after post-SfN recovery. The approach is v cool, & the Gaussian parametrization feels almost embarrassingly obvious in hindsight.

This important study provides new insights into the synchronization of ripple oscillations in the hippocampus, both within and across hemispheres. While power is correlated across hemispheres, synchrony is significantly higher within a hemisphere than across.

-CA3-like (sparse lognormal) connectivity gives a hippocampus-like (orthogonalized) map
-non-spatial representation! splitters, lap/time cells, action plan…we got it all🤑

Five-star hydrotherapy for hardware that costs more than my car.
We recycle our probes many many times, even after chronic implants, saving $$$. Happy to share the protocol.
