🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇

Glad to see this published "Postnatal and juvenile fluoxetine treatment evokes sex-specific, opposing effects on mood-related behavior, gene expression, mitochondrial function, and dendritic architecture in the rat medial prefrontal cortex" doi.org/10.1016/j.bi....

Awhile back we started a Slack group for psychedelic science.
Researchers used it to organize meetups and panels at conferences. We discuss papers, including a lively discussion now of the Lu et al. preprint.

Thanks for highlighting our (@polybiotique.bsky.social) report and its coverage by @dyanilewis.bsky.social, Izzy. As we mention in our report, fixing this will require clearly earmarked resources, and importantly, the will and strong commitment to equity from the leadership in Indian academia.
A shocking description 👇🏾 of how women are being let down by scientific research communities in India. This is of course only mirroring many of the trends that we know exist everywhere else too. The 📊 showing conferences where women are outnumbered or excluded entirely leaves one absolutely appalled.
