Am slowly making my way through this paper. And it is an impressive body of work by a collection of great researchers.

However, I have a couple of problems with it...

#ebbs2025 was a success despite a heatwave. More participants than any meeting since covid. So much incredible science in the symposia, the posters and the blitz talks. Can’t quite believe it’s over. Now time to look forward for @ebbsociety.bsky.social meeting in Dublin in 2027!

Many variables determine whether instrumental behaviour is goal-directed or habitual. We have documented in rats that delays between response and outcome attenuate sensitivity to outcome devaluation (a canonical test of goal directedness). In this study we replicated that observation in humans.

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 Inactivation of the nucleus reuniens causes relapse of extinguished fear. Here we show this “circuit-induced relapse” depends on hippocampal fear memories and is mediated by hippocampal engrams. Congrats to the team!

🚨 New study alert! 🚨
Ever wondered if rats and humans learn in the same way? 🐭🧑‍🔬
We tested this — and the answer is yes, at least when it comes to how we value rewards in context.
