Prefrontal cortical contributions to working memory loading, maintenance and recall are parsed by hippocampal-prefrontal oscillatory assembly dynamicsData is getting pretty consistent around this. The cortexes are downstream workspaces for the hippocampal transform.Cellular development and evolution of the mammalian cerebellumBackground/ethological/systems data points.Striatal dopamine explains novelty-induced behavioral dynamics and individual variability in threat predictionReplace “Dopamine” with “Brainstem […]

Asexuality vs. sexual interest/arousal disorder: Examining group differences in initial attention to sexual stimuli This isn’t interesting in the sense that it provides valuable data, it’s interesting in the sense that it affirms how fucking horrible behavior based psychiatry is and how it impairs actual understanding of brain function. defined by their lack of sexual

Preserved representations and decodability of diverse cognitive functions across the cortex, cerebellum, and subcortexIt feels strange to me at this point that cortically biased processing is still so predominant in neuroscientific thinking. There’s something I’m not understanding in the avoidance of this I need to figure out.Comparing Brain Asymmetries Independently of Brain SizeLike this interesting

Listening in the Moment: How Bilingualism Interacts With Task Demands to Shape Active Listening This suggests to me that bilingualism requires more brainstem participation in language. An upside-down binding mode to treat psychosis Agonism of the D1 will ultimately strengthen hippocampal CA1 strength, with the circuit ultimately increasing stimulation to the dorsal raphe in the

Timescales of Local and Cross-Area Interactions during Neuroprosthetic Learning Dorsal/Ventral, blah blah? The ventral stream travels a “slower” route, resulting in the time delay. Dissect Relationships Between Gene Co-expression and Functional Connectivity in Human Brain There are many different phenotypes of naturally occurring brain construction. The psychiatric concept of “normal or disordered” pathologizes many of

Trial-by-trial fluctuations in amygdala activity track motivational enhancement of desirable sensory evidence during perceptual decision-making The amygdala complex is a valence processing center, it tries to match the salience signal with an appropriate level of response based on external stimuli. This study supports this model by demonstrating level of engagement being activation dependent. Brain-wide neural

Who wrote the software running in your head?Are you sure you actually want it there? Normally the idea of quoting “famous” people is appealing as a root canal with no anesthetic, but this tweet by Elon Musk sums up so much about neurology and brains in general. For humans especially, conspecific behavioral training begins from

Age-related changes of color visual acuity in normal eyes This is less interesting than funny, and kind of a forehead slapper. Color perception changes with age. For all the philosophical wankery that goes on over the experience of color, realizing that none of the colors we “experience” are ever actually the same is kind of
