New paper: Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms. A theta traveling wave swept across the frontal cortex like radar, modulating performance of a working memory task. Because cognition is rhythmic.

Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms

Han et al. show that frontal theta oscillations rhythmically control access to working memory. The theta rhythm sweeps across the mental image, shaping behavior by coordinating spikes and beta oscilla...

Vorschieben, Frauen & Mädchen schützen zu wollen, als würde sexualisierte Gewalt vor allem von Migranten ausgehen, ist so hanebüchen wie perfide. Es ist rassistisch und misogyn zugleich - und eine klassische Erzählung von Rechtsextremen, die im Übrigen nicht auf "Schutz", sondern Besitzanspruch fußt

Antifaschismus, Widerstand, Verfolgung, NS-Täter & personelle / ideologische Kontinuitäten post 1945, Partisaninnenkunst.

Bemerkenswert, was im Landesmuseum Kärnten / Koroška heuer sichtbar gemacht wird.

Dort, wo Kärntner Slowenische Geschichte zuvor Jahrzehnte keinen Platz bekam.

Gleichzeitig ist vollkommen klar, dass das Ganze nichts mit Rassismus zu tun hat. Denn Spahn und Merz erwähnen nicht die Juden - anders als Goebbels am 20.8.1941 in seinen Tagebüchern: "Berlin muß eine judenreine Stadt werden (..) Sie verderben nicht nur das Straßenbild, sondern auch die Stimmung."

Krsto Lazarević @krstorevic.bsky.social · 2d

Super, dass Jens Spahn noch klargestellt hat, dass nicht nur arabisch-muslimische Männer als Problem im Stadtbild gelten, sondern auch Osteuropäer. Ich hatte schon kurz Sorge, nicht mitgemeint zu sein.

Der aktuelle und bereits brüchige Waffenstillstand zwischen Israel und der Hamas darf weder für Israel noch für Deutschland zur Entlastung dienen. Er muss als Moment der Verantwortung verstanden werden: zur Aufarbeitung, zur Prävention und zur Durchsetzung des Rechts.

Links ein Foto von ECCHR-Generalsekretär Wolfgang Kaleck, rechts folgendes Zitat: "Das Trump-Abkommen hat den genozidalen Krieg der israelischen Regierung in Gaza unterbrochen. Doch weder sind deren Verbrechen der jüngeren Vergangenheit angemessen aufgearbeitet worden, noch hat sich Netanjahus Regime verpflichtet, die Menschenrechte der Palästinenser*innen und das Völkerrecht künftig zu achten. In einer solchen Situation verbieten sowohl das Grundgesetz als auch das internationale Recht deutsche Waffenlieferungen an Israel."

This seems rad: overexpressing FruM in a set of proboscis-motorneuron-projecting neurons makes melanogaster males add food-sharing to their courtship repertoire.

It is fascinating to see evolutionary shifts in behavior be tied so concretely to shifts in brain development!
