As neuroscience expands, @thetransmitter.bsky.social asks, how can neuroscience training programs best meet the needs of students and the field? See what survey respondents had to say: www.thetransmitter.org/training/how...

Survey: How will neuroscience training need to change?
Training in computational neuroscience, data science and statistics is needed but must be balanced with grounding in the scientific method, say respondents.

New paper with @mujianing.bsky.social & @prestonlab.bsky.social! We propose a simple model for human memory of narratives: we uniformly sample incoming information at a constant rate. This explains behavioral data much better than variable-rate sampling triggered by event segmentation or surprisal.
Efficient uniform sampling explains non-uniform memory of narrative stories https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.31.667952v1
