Help. I am keeping a running list of #neurotheory / #comp_neuro / #neuroAI / #quant_neuro groups that currently has 222 names; def. incomplete, especially re: younger groups. If you started a group since COVID, or if you want to know if you made my list, give me a ping. RT@ H'sD

On behalf of our department head, @Li_Zhaoping: I’m thrilled that @HopfieldJohn has won the #NobelPrize in Physics for his groundbreaking work on artificial neural networks! Very grateful for his mentorship and belief in my V1 Saliency Hypothesis long before its recognition!

Systems Vision Science virtual symposium (July12)program available: summerschool.lizhaoping.org/symposium-2024/ speakers include: Sheng He, Anitha Pasupathy, Patrick Cavanagh, Kristina Visscher, Shin'ya Nishida, Larry Maloney, Michael Herzog, Tom Franken, Incheol Kang. Free registration, join us!

Looking forward to this online symposium!!

So wonderful to get to chat with Maggie McPherson from @SenKatieBritt’s office! We talked about how important it is to maintain research stability, and how recent administration actions have destabilized it. It was a great conversation!

I had so much fun discussing the importance of my Neuroscience research with Congress. We met Megan Medley with Representative Robert Aderholt's office. @visscherlab and I also asked for continued support for Biomedical Research! #neuroAdvocate ##SfNHillDay

It was so great meeting with Maggie McPherson from Senator Katie Britt's office. We discussed the importance of Neuroscience research and continued funding support. #neuroAdvocate #SfNHillDay

So great talking with Megan Medley from Rep. @Robert_Aderholt's office today. We discussed how important it is to maintain stability for the US research enterprise, and how recent actions by the administration have destabilized it. Don't destabilize the US! #neuroadvocate

Hurricane Creekeeper John Wathen just filed the following complaint against QT truckstop et-al. 6925 Valley Lake Rd: yourcreekkeeper.blogspot.com/2025/01/qt-at-…

In our most recent study published in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals, we explored the neural mechanisms underlying inhibitory control in the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). (1/6)

Los Angeles-based artist Manjari Sharma joined Dr. David Geldmacher today for a panel discussion, "The Art of Communication and Connection: Empowering Patients and Care Partners when there is a Life-Threatening Illness Diagnosis." Stay tuned for the full story. @UABHeersink

We’re very proud of our clinical providers and the vision care they give our patients. #FeedbackFriday #PatientCare #EyeHealth

We shouldn't let this get swept away by the constantly changing news cycle. This is a premier data resource setting a dangerous precedent of pay to play. Not a policy conducive of a healthy scientific community.

Cutting edge work of CNC member Rachel June Smith is featured by @UABNews!

The weight of neuroscientific evidence has demonstrated that the brain is organized into distinct cortical areas, which perform dissociable sets of information processing operations There are additional ideas about how the cortex may be organized, including smoother…

Today @TheCrimsonWhite is on a #Roll, so to speak, as it published several great environmental pieces including this one quoting two #Waterkeepers -- Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen and John Kinney of @BWRiverkeeper -- about #Tuscaloosa's #sewage spills: thecrimsonwhite.com/114393/top-sto…

Something literally everyone said at the time, and yet ….
