Not a super collegial invitation but an interesting paper might be the one by the IBL/Fiete group. There are many others that inform this question, Ben et al. has written about/cites a bunch; I have too in the past. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence

NIH grants?? Now counting on wishes...

*Hippocampus homologues across vertebrates* Hippocampus in goldfish involved in spatial navigation and transitive inferences. Amazing work by Gomez, Salas, Rodriguez et al. at the VI International Congress of Psychobiology, Seville, Spain.

*Are rodents a good model of the amygdala?* Probably not. Important comparative anatomy findings by Freixes, Medina, Desfilis. At the VI international Congress of Psychobiology, Seville, Spain.

*Hippocampus: action at a distance* Really beautiful talk by Lynn Nadel about the hippocampus and how it supports acting based on past and future information. At the VI international Congress of Psychobiology, Sevilla, Spain.

𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 I've shared book suggestions on the brain, conceptual foundations of biology, and much more. Check out the collection from past years. (interface not perfect at this point). sparkling-trifle-93b8c9.netlify.app

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆? Fascinating and profound book on what brains are *not* and what they might be. Including criticism of the computational and predictive brain frameworks. You might not agree with some of it but quite thought provoking.

Question for physicists: Is this fundamentally novel; if so are implications minor/major? thanks @seanmcarroll.bsky.social @philipcball.bsky.social

Marilyn Gatica describes how higher-order interactions capture important information in the brain

Eero Castrin describes the plasticity effects of SSRIs (and psychedelics)

*Complexity in Mental Health* Interplay between brain, behavior and context Organized by Igor Branchi and Francesca Culirulli. Phenomenal location in Erice, Sicily.

𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 Excellent paper about purposiveness in biology. Important critique of the dynamical systems approach as a "simple" solution to the computationalism approach. Highly relevant to the enactive approach too. doi.org/10.1177/1059...

It's in a very different context (threat/safety) but I just marvel at the richness of insula responses, including sustained signals which are not investigated in fMRI that often.
