Unser Wissenschaftssystem ist seit Langem krank und braucht dringend eine Generalüberholung. Obwohl seit über 2 Jahren gefühlt täglich über Wissenschaft geredet wird, hat kaum jemand die leiseste Ahnung, was in den Laboren und Bibs dieses Landes so alles abgeht.

Finally our model for virtual deep brain stimulation was published 😃 Can we use modeling to understand and optimize DBS? We designed a multiscale brain network model to study the effects of DBS on a Parkinson’s disease patient network and found…🧵👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you like this analysis, you might appreciate Cover Story: Power Trip podcast by New York Magazine and Psymposia. It’s a 9 part series on abuses in under- and above-ground psychedelic therapy. David Nickles and I created, produced, reported and host. open.spotify.com/show/7dj2XnCMx…

Mapping neurotransmitter systems to the structural and functional organization of the human neocortex | nature.com/articles/s4159… Led by Justine Hansen out now in Nature Neuroscience! TLDR: we curate an atlas of neurotransmitter receptors and relate it to brain organization 🧩🧠🌎⤵️

"Ketamine causes spontaneously active neurons to become suppressed while previously silent neurons become spontaneously activated." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36424433/ Interesting (in mice)

🧵#ScienceBreakdown: "Psychedelics promote neuroplasticity through the activation of intracellular 5-HT2A receptors" Interesting new paper by Olson Lab, Lin Tian, PhD, et al. looking at why some serotonin 2A receptor agonists promote neuroplasticity, but others do not. 1/

Has a new mechanism of psychedelic action been discovered? Hmmm... depends... Everyone is talking about a fascinating new paper published this week showing that psychedelics activate 5HT2A receptors *inside* neurons, rather than on the outside… 1/2

Last night I captured an 85 megapixel photo of our moon by using two telescopes and two cameras. Check out the details up close! The color is real, but much more subtle to your eyes. Increasing saturation reveals the rich geological history of our moon!

Artificial intelligence researchers have built a new class of “liquid” neural networks that process inputs in a nonlinear way. In certain scenarios, these networks handily outperform conventional neural networks. quantamagazine.org/researchers-di…
