Policy complexity is expensive. How does the brain regulate its investment of cognitive capacity? Our newest paper is on BioRxiv! We examine hypothalamic orexin (and MCH!) -producing neurons for their role in regulating the complexity decision policies. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Neurometabolic signaling and control of policy complexity
Cognition and adaptive behavior emerge from neural information processing. This must operate within finite metabolic constraints, since neural information processing is metabolically expensive. While ...

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..
