Losing one side of Superior Colliculus is bad, but losing both sides seems fine. Wait, what?
Flora & team discovered why: both sides press for contra actions and against inaction, obeying an incredibly simple additive rule.

Interesting article on something I think is very relevant to open science: several teams analyzed the same ephys dataset and got quite different answers.
Not because the analyses were bad, but because this kind of work involves many analysis choices, and those choices can change the result.
I would never say that “drift isn’t a thing” in visual cortex - but at #COSYNE2026 we show that much apparent drift in mouse V1 natural image responses can be explained by gaze drift. Tested with predictive deep network counterfactuals and closed-loop MEI restimulation. With @sinzlab.bsky.social.

I support @sfn.org and I don't think they'd ever do anything like this. But news like this make world scientists want to avoid the US. For instance, this year our lab is skipping the US neuroscience meeting, in favor of the @fens.org meeting in Barcelona. (See you there!)

The French-Iranian 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.
I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇
