Congrats to @mousejesus on his amazing thesis on neural circuits of tongue control. His moniker is mousejesus for a reason...
I’m incredibly honored to receive the 2025 @WeintraubAward! I’m extremely grateful for my advisor, PI, and friend @jesseGlab for his unwavering support and all members of the Goldberg Lab, as well as everyone at @CornellNBB! A huge congrats to my fellow recipients!

SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES 👁️: Excited to share our new paper (which is out now!!) with Wenbo Tang, @annabellaWulf, @ThokozileNyasu, @Madisonewolf, @antferrui @azayhara : we discovered a novel sleep microstructure that promotes memory replay! https://t.co/OuU5knRzwj 🧵 1/12👇

Awesome work by my colleagues @IDsignals and @MatthewZipple
Excited to share our article, out today in @ScienceMagazine showing that competition amplifies the role of early life luck in shaping inequality in adult outcomes. https://t.co/UsV3QZ3Pyz We all have a sense that our lives are strongly shaped by contingent events outside of our

Close your eyes and bring your full attention to the sensation of your tongue making contact with a tooth of your choice. Take 3 big breaths. Do you 'see it?' ...Our latest in @Nature by the indomitable @mousejesus @jasonyjgao and @BrianKardon
Kicking off the new year with our new paper in @Nature! We find that touch-guided tongue control in mice relies on a collicular mechanosensorimotor map, analogous to collicular visuomotor maps associated with visually-guided orienting in many species. https://t.co/lpC6Rw1qkc

I have done the impossible. I have written a take-home, open-note, untimed final exam and GPT4.0 cannot answer any of the questions correctly. I doubt I will succeed in 2026, the next time I teach this class. Stay tuned.

Fundamental biology revaling a gut-brain loop in drosophila - by my amazing colleagues @XinyueCui and Nilay Yapici
My PhD paper is out! We imaged gut neuron activity in living, eating flies (first time in history!), and found a Gut-Brain-Gut neural circuit loop that allows fruit flies to adjust their ingestion bouts based on the sucrose concentration of the food! (1/n

https://t.co/X0eKArJPSm ^^This is a really cool and surprising result - disinhibition opens a critical period for birdsong production. Great work by @LabVallentin

The efficiency of motor skill acquisition is age-dependent, making it increasingly challenging to learn complex manoeuvres later in life. Zebra finches, for instance, acquire a complex vocal motor...

Super proud of this tour de force preprint by @heejaesayshi. Acetylcholine demixes heterogeneous dopamine signals for learning and moving. https://t.co/BO5BI40yVQ

Midbrain dopamine neurons promote reinforcement learning and movement vigor. A major outstanding question is how dopamine-recipient neurons in the striatum parse these heterogeneous signals. Here we...

Happy to share these great news. Congrats to all the awardees! 🥳🥳 This Prize will greatly help us to push forward with our current efforts to develop new selective closed-loop interventions to restore neural dynamics and cognitive deficits in brain disease.
We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2024 MIND Prize! Seven researchers across the USA who are paving the way to a deeper and transformative understanding of the brain:
