Rapid emergence of latent knowledge in the sensory cortex drives learning - Nature
In mice, learning and performance on an auditory task is driven by higher-order signals in the auditory cortex that are no longer required when the mouse has achieved expert-level performance.

It is not a matter of interpretation! Listen to J.D. Vance's words: “If any of us want to do the things that we want to for our country, and for the people who live in it, we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities of this country.”
"The universities control the knowledge in our society (...) We have to agressivly attack the universities (...). Fundamental lies that feminism is liberating (...) There is wisdom in what Nixon said, the professors are the enemy "

How many people are affected by the funding freeze by government agencies? 😩 Our lab had a major collaborative grant due to start February 1 that is now frozen and is causing major headaches 🤯. How about you? Please respond and share! 🧪🔬 #ScienceFunding #ResearchCrisis

Humans and other animals take turns during conversations. In our new paper we study the aggressive visual conversations of betta fish. We discover how fish know when is their turn and how the telencephalon is not needed! 🧪
