Paying peer reviewers works.
Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @biologyopen.bsky.social:
• 5.5 vs 37.7 working days to decision with reviews
• ~3 vs ~9 reviewer invitations per manuscript
• no reduction in editor-assessed review quality
• similar acceptance rates

Loving this new preprint -- such a clever way to examine the question of the importance (or not!) of sensory experience in shaping cortical development. I wish we could have cited this in our discussion on altricial/precocial animals last year.
still fascinated by the barrel cortex

Amazing comparative study from @djabaudon.bsky.social lab between mus musculus and Acomys (spiny mouse) brain development!
Outstanding new study tracking the changes in Purkinje neuron dendritic architecture during primate evolution, documenting an increase in dendritic compartmentalization in the human
lineage

Excellent new preprint by @sroig.bsky.social @djabaudon.bsky.social & collaborators on the prenatal assembly of functional cortical circuits.
Great discussion of maturation

Vertebrate evolution has driven adaptive remodeling of brain regions impacted by changing sensorimotor demands. The cerebellum--a hindbrain area mediating associative learning and predictive coding--i...
We demonstrate that the prenatal conservation of this programs, supports a prenatal establishment of functional circuits, which in turn are essential to execute sensorimotor behaviors linked to late-postnatal stages in mus.
Thrilled to shared our new preprint with @djabaudon.bsky.social ! Led by Ilaria Morassut, we explored "the extent to which early brain maturation requires interactions with the outside world". This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators, specially the @lanevol.bsky.social 🧵
