How does genetic and molecular variation, either through evolution or within a species, result in neural and behavioral variation? How many different ways can you evolve a similar behavior?

Mice do play with humans:
Our new study found that selective breeding makes mice more playful toward both humans and other mice.
We also found that both mice and hamsters produce distinct vocalizations depending on the species of their interaction partner.

🚨New paper🚨

Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently.

Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

Replication game- Never have I ever…. failed to record a “place cell” from the hippocampus*

*except all those times where I screwed up the experiment because I’m a human and my tetrodes got stuck, the ground was broken, the tetrodes snapped, I shorted the wires, I got my synchronization wrong, etc.

Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here:

This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

Competitive integration of time and reward explains value-sensitive foraging decisions and frontal cortex ramping dynamics

Bukwich and Campbell et al. show that mice integrate elapsed time and reward intake, scaled by a latent patience variable, to decide when to leave virtual “patches.” Frontal cortex ramping activity ma...

In any case. Cool paper, definitely excited by the results one way or another.

It could be selected broadly or in area specific ways for expanding brain surface growth. And then you could have interactions with severe morphological constraints that collaborate in explaining folding convergence. Which I sympathize with. I guess I’m mostly not sure why the most parsimonious.

I think cortical thickness is a good argument, however there are potentially other dynamic traits in relation to brain development that cant be captured by final brain morphology and histology. Lets say theres a trait x for horizontal expansion, this horizontal expansion could even be area dependent
