So tough. Bowie is here for you.

Very cool! Well deserved. And great timing for me to include tomorrow when presenting this paper at our institute journal club :)

Super cool! Congratulations

Congrats Shaked!! Looks great 😎

But the bigger takeaway is: when you have competing survival needs and one must suppress another, gating out inputs to a system is more effective than gating outputs or changing costs of actions.

It suggests early afferent sensory/interoceptive areas as a target of modulation for flexible behavior.

Wow exciting! Congrats on the big move Juan! Look forward to following what you accomplish in the coming years

I should have started with the obvious- this is awesome, and thank you for doing it!

Curious how this timing aligns with large-scale efforts to focus on foraging, eg. Allen Inst for Neural Dynamics. Did you help drive this effort? Or learn from those developing it? Feels like foraging got trendy in the last 5 years (from my own silo)

I also strongly endorse this one in particular.

Q: is it ever useful to ask things out of interest if you explicitly state that the authors can ignore it, or do you still risk delaying/jeopardizing publication?

Can you explain the last bit? I would think 2002 Cian would be mind-blown with 2025 findings, and that you're surprise drops over time due to exposure.

Yes, I'll be there!

This looks great! Do you also find a shift from replaying prior memory to recent memory over time, such that you build on your prior? Would be especially interesting if that varied based on how similar the new experience was to the prior
