Let me believe it’s magic for at least a year before you show me how it works please!

Dick you need to read the paper! This paper goes way beyond the monkey data in understanding the interregional interactions. It fits a multi-regional network model which makes a host of very precise predictions and then it tests them in fresh optogenetic experiments!

Just to add though, that in general the @elife.bsky.social model does not allow reviewers to gatekeep what authors say, only to comment on it. So if we did peer review the videos, it would be same for these.

yes it totally changes the vibe when everyone is thinking of nice things to say!

We have decided not to peer review the videos at the moment, and to explicitly declare under the videos that they are not peer reviewed for scientific content (see below). They are vetted by journal staff for taste etc. But we are open to discussion about this. We can see advantages both ways.

These videos are much much easier to produce and maintain. We're hoping people use them. We have a paper under review right now, and we have made them :)

:) Executable articles are exciting and still a priority, but the way we implemented them last time was too difficult for the authors and maintainers. We have discontinued them in the short term. There are actually new platforms that look much better though, so we may be back in the game soon.

Not sure if you're being serious :). It seems to suggest you need 200-700 plots per paper .....

I knew you weren’t human!
