Why do some neurons say “sleep” while others shout “stay awake!” — inside the same brain?

In fruit flies, researchers just mapped the molecular chaos behind this nightly tug-of-war. And it’s wilder than we thought.

The lesson here, which is important for students, is that science is never wrapped up in a nice clean bow. We never "have the answer". We are always working towards more accurate and more complete explanations.

How can sharing our uncertainty with others alter our confidence when we're alone?

Delighted to share the lab's new paper, with Einar Andreassen and @cdfrith.bsky.social. Particularly pleased as it's Einar's first!

And there is this wonderful paper from @mjcrockett.bsky.social and @lmesseri.bsky.social

A demonstration of how more replicate trials can be equivalent to a more precise measure.
