Parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons (PVNs) stabilize cortical network activity, generate gamma rhythms, and regulate experience-dependent plasticity. Here, we observed that activation or...

The cholinergic system sends a massive projection to auditory cortex. Here we show that L6 excitatory neurons are just as potent hubs of cholinergic modulation as the classic L1 interneuron-mediated circuit.

Exactly. Would be curious to see the head by head overhead costs for a seed stage biotech vs. an academic. Embedded infrastructure like cores are a huge efficiency boost.
One thing that guys like Marc Andreesson fail to grasp when they rant about the "grift" of academic research is that we are actually far cheaper than most in industry . Our overhead is lower. It is negotiated with the government. And our labor cost is wayyy lower. I often use.

Good break down. The big point is that liquidity is low.

In the age of genetic medicine, when we are the brink of treating wide swaths of diseases by editing or replacing genes, of course we want to eliminate genetics training programs for future Drs and Scientists during during undergradš¤. Thank you for your service.
Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office š. It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health.

The "incremental science" critique is weakly supported. My controversial opinion is A) the current level of competition for NIH funds is healthy for science and B) purely incremental work is not going to make it across the payline. Ofc we scientists still complain.

Congratulations to the @TakesianLab for their new preprint which provides an impressively rigorous characterization of sensory responses in L1 inhibitory neurons. These donāt act like your average cortical neuron! .
