Steve Ramirez @okaysteve sat down with @FrankieRivera25 to discuss the inspiration behind the book, why he decided to write it partly as a memoir, and what he wants readers to take away from reading it. https://t.co/JIvSjc3g5w

A captivating talk today @KilachandCenter (@buCSNneuro & Dept of Psychological & Brain Sciences) for Arthur Lee, PhD on theory-guided brain decoding—using neural data to understand decision-making. Takeaway: prediction is not enough—models must explain the mind behind the brain.

Neurons may be chatting in ways we never knew. Researchers discovered tiny nanotubes linking dendrites, offering a new path for signals and for Alzheimer’s-related proteins to spread. A whole new layer of brain communication. #Neuroscience #Alzheimers
In Science, researchers report the observation of dendritic nanotubes in brain tissue from mice and humans. The discovery suggests that the current understanding of the brain’s organization may be incomplete, overlooking a hidden layer of connectivity. Learn more in a new

Study shows that when the brain’s waste-clearing system slows down, dementia risk goes up. Sleep + heart health might be more important for our brains than we realized:

Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly raise the risk of developing dementia.
Brain’s Waste System Breakdown Linked to Dementia Risk A large-scale study of 40,000 adults has found that disruptions in the brain’s waste clearance system—the glymphatic system—predict future dementia risk. This system, which relies on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flush out
