RT @sheacshl This newly posted work from @RJordan and Georg Keller looks super cool! Locus coeruleus responds with a widely broadcast visual feedback prediction error that acts as a teaching signal for sensorimotor learning. biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/ea

There may actually be some hope for this place. @kt_so_it_goes is here.

Good time to announce that I will be starting my lab at SIDB & University of Edinburgh early next year! 🎉 We will investigate neuromodulation and cortical learning, as well as their dysfunction in mouse models of autism spectrum disorder

A lovely poem linking smell and memory (a scientific interest for me) by Fatima Asghar (can't find her on Masto, but here's her linktree linktr.ee/asgharthegrouch)

First post to Mastodon. My name is Martin Barron. I'm Director of Data and Analysis at the University of Chicago's Crime Lab and Education Lab. As my bio says, I'm interested in making coding better in the social sciences. I'm into all sorts of geekery and a suburban dad.

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.

So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.

Hello Mastodon. I am a neuroscientist and PI at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, USA. I have long-standing interests in natural behavior, the neural circuitry of auditory and olfactory communication in mice and birds, neuromodulation, and neurodevelopmental disorders. I am skeptical of some aspects of this platform, but I am keeping an open mind. @sheacshl on Twitter.
