My publication is out today! The @DisterhoftLab found that intact female mice learned at a faster rate than male and ovariectomized female mice in trace-eyeblink conditioning, a well-studied temporal associative learning task. (1/5) eneuro.org/content/8/2/ENEUR…

Scientists in the U.S. and three other countries have achieved two-way communication with sleeping people in their dreams. The breakthrough creates a new method for studying the human mind. bit.ly/3rZcEka #Inception, anyone?

New paper out! We found gap junctions between different types of ganglion cells in the mouse retina and showed how that circuit generates offset receptive subfields and ON/OFF pathway mixing at the retinal output. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

CW/TW for the day: slavery, racism, eugenics. Today we are talking about #NeuroRacism. This means discussions on how racism is historically present in neuroscience, to this day. This is crucial to understand where we have been and where we are, to pave a better way forward.
