A food-sensitive olfactory circuit drives anticipatory satiety - Nature Metabolism
The authors describe a sensory circuit involving the medial septum (MS), where MS glutamatergic neurons integrate food odours to prime satiety and regulate nutrient intake.

Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...
Breaking the barrier between theorists and experimentalists
Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking. Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments.

Challenge: does FMRI have a future (apart from studies of development and ageing)? We want to know HOW the brain works and for that we need millisecond temporal resolution neuropixels, MEG, OPMs. After nearly 30 years of FMRI we know basically WHERE things happen.

Subjective signal strength distinguishes reality from imagination - Nature Communications
How humans distinguish perception from mental imagery is not well understood. Here, the authors show that reality judgements are based on the intensity of a mixture of imagined and real signals.

Every (neuro)biologist should read this indeed, so I'll put it here to save you the clicks.

Enjoyable paper by Krakauer et al on "Neurosci needs behavior: Correcting a reductionist bias" 🧠 #neuroscience
Great quote "Who cares what philosophers say about the differences between psych & neuro or reductionism in general? We are scientists, not philosophers!''
