A niche and somewhat personal question but it’s desperate times over here - has anyone been pregnant (or know someone who has been pregnant) and done animal surgeries with iso? If so, how (what precautions were taken)? DMs open!
(Pregnant with my second 😳 So will also take 2 under 2 advice 😅)

Differential kinematic coding in sensorimotor striatum across behavioral domains reflects different contributions to movement - Nature Neuroscience
Hardcastle and Marshall et al. show that striatal function is domain specific, required for task-related but not spontaneously expressed movements. This functional distinction is reflected in starkly ...

A little timeline cleanse for you — A rat party 🎉 with beautifully tracked behavior 😍
As Warhol said though: one's company, two's a crowd, and three is a party. So yes, we can track a little party as well. 4/8

Happy head direction cell day y’all!
On this day, 41 years ago, Jim Ranck recorded the first “HD cell” in his Brooklyn lab in 1984.
Jim shared the news with the world at SFN that year, showing a video of the cell’s firing on a TV he somehow acquired and brought to his poster… (1/3)
