Two Yale University neuroscientists received $40 million to develop a method of shuttling genome-editing therapies into the brain. Other experts question whether it will do what the researchers claim. #neuroskyence

The finding bolsters the canonical model of reward prediction error, which has come under scrutiny in recent years.
This week, @thetransmitter.bsky.social will be at the @ohbmofficial.bsky.social conference. In light of our participation at the conference, here's a roundup of coverage highlighting a range of topics, from open-source tools to brain imaging. #OHBM2026 #neuroskyence
Surprisingly few college and graduate-level courses center around open neuroscience. In her essay, @kaitlyncasimo.bsky.social shares how educators and institutions can best incorporate these practices in neuroscience training. #neuroskyence

@macshine.bsky.social talks with @satra.bsky.social about the #OHBM2026 Abstract Atlas—a community-built tool that places every 2026 abstract inside the broader neuroscience landscape. Where does your work sit in the field? #neuroskyence

Complex, goal-directed and even emotionally responsive behavior can unfold without awareness, providing a useful lens for interpreting artificial systems, write Vanessa Hadid, @karimjerbi.bsky.social and John W. Krakauer. #neuroskyence

According to @edvardmoser.bsky.social, director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, the four recipients of the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience challenged what had long been regarded as a central dogma in neuroscience.

LLMs are now routinely used to search, summarize and synthesize the literature at scales impossible for any individual researcher—yet scientific publishing has not adapted to that reality, writes @rachelparkinson.bsky.social. #neuroskyence

Yale University claims its STEP platform might be able to deliver gene-editing tools into the brain via multiple routes. Researchers are eager to see more.
A child’s socioeconomic status, screen time and amount of sleep all show stronger associations with measures of brain structure and function, according to an imaging study of nearly 12,000…
