Neuroscientists at UC Davis, Yale, and UC San Diego, go down the hall and ask that they stand up for your profession.
SfN can and should weigh in with Congress, and coordinate litigation from affected investigators.
Contact SfN's leaders and *be respectful*:

The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over NIH.
GOP members of the committee represent AK, AL, IN, FL, KS, KY, LA, ME, MO, OH, and SC.
Research universities and hospitals in those states need to be extra loud.

Goes without saying for scientists:
This means Musk and his kids have access to grant applications, study section reports, internal scoring, RPPRs. The core of the best ideas in US science. Will they steal those ideas?

Hippocampal neurons code individual episodic memories in humans.
The neurons don't code for a particular element in the episode (e.g., concept or time). They code for the conjunction of the different elements.

Sometimes people hear that I work on the cerebellum, then contact me because they don't know how to interpret their unexpected findings. I just want to say "thank you". I'm grateful that folks are starting to pay attention to this structure! Also, I run a cerebellum journal club so reach out!
