bombs falling to plant democracy! , but instead fertilising despair and taking lives… writing right after hearing that a few days ago bombs landed some 50 m from my father’s office ….
Amazing study and the coolest results (from my point of view!) is that LC norepinephrine neurons projecting to the frontal cortex encode reward prediction error
big fomo for @dopaminesociety.bsky.social next week but excited that @jessicamoretti.bsky.social and @matthiasfritsche.bsky.social from the lab attending to present what we have been up to

We have new a new doctor in the lab 🍾🍾🎉Congratulations @neurorussell.bsky.social for successful viva today at Oxford @oxforddpag.bsky.social
Awesome results from @fluketc.bsky.social @dudman.bsky.social and team, both for dopamine field and for all that train animals in tasks www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We show that deep layers of the superior colliculus identify the salience of conditioned visual stimuli and drive dopamine responses during classical conditioning.
Standard animal learning studies minimize individual reward magnitudes to maximize the repetitions of reinforced behaviors. We investigated how reward magnitude influences initial learning across five...
I am livid that after less than a day, Vance et al are back empty-handed. "Marathon" talks?? They didn't even sleep on it and try again! Many thousands of lives, the world economy and world hunger, and more, hang in the balance, and they stopped trying after less than a day??
