I love this idea. This is the type of public-facing scicomm that gives a scientist a renewed and refreshed perspective on their own work. I champion scientists engaging in ways that fill their own cups here:

🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference?

In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵

Hippocampal transformations occur along dimensions of memory interference
The role of the hippocampus in resolving memory interference has been greatly elucidated by considering the relationship between the similarity of visual stimuli (input) and corresponding similarity o...

Alzheimer’s disease signatures in the brain transcriptome of Estuarine Dolphins - Communications Biology
Transcriptomic analysis of brain samples collected from dolphins found beached in the Indian River Lagoon during algal bloom seasons shows Alzheimer’s disease related molecular signatures.

Skinner as quoted by Chomsky 71’ p. 4 (link in earlier responses)

The Nuanced Neuroscientist- Abby Teaches Biology @abbyteachesbiology.bsky.social · 4d
This week we are reading Chomsky’s
A Case Against B. F. Skinner
Next (and once I’ve located it) we will read Skinner’s Beyond Freedom and Dignity (which is being critiqued)

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

‘..Evolutionary biology field refutes the idea of any such shock-absorption mechanisms. Modern histochemistry techniques have provided cellular evidence of brain injury in both bovids and woodpeckers, and yet biomimicry research continues to seek inspiration for brain protection from these animals.’

Violence, scientific DRAMA, and misunderstanding!
Who first asked if woodpeckers get headaches, or if rams are immune to brain damage?
New Paper! I trace the history of human thought on brain injury in head-hitting animals, and it's a wild ride. 🧪 🏺
A thread - 1/🧵
doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...
Graphical abstract for A history of human thought on brain injury in head-hitting animals. Humans have hypothesized about headbutting for centuries. Biological misunderstanding has often been the cause of "invulnerability" theories. An accumulation of biological misinterpretation has led to the belief that animals are immune, despite evidence that headbutting causes brain injury.

It was hyperbolic of me to say Skinner was only interested in behavior. He was interested in the psychological processes which governed how input governed behavior too. This was, in his own words, at the exchange of the consideration of other internal psychological processes being studied.

Actually the section of the essay I was thinking of is Chomsky quoting Skinner directly…I will share that quote with you when I have time to do so today and I also will do a follow up video about those quotes specifically.

If true (I’d like to check) to my understanding he still believed those behavioral outcomes to be the desired representation of mind state, and according to Chomsky, that was at the expense of considerations of more internal psychological states. He talks about that in his essay which you can read.
