Nice paper showing beta/gamma doing that top-down/bottom-up thing again.
Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling

I didn't even realize today is #WorldParkinsonsDay! I'm excited to have learned about it through the impressive research from the Jaenisch Lab at #WhiteheadInstitute. These are crucial steps in the fight against this disease! #NeuroScience #BiomedicalResearch #MIT #ResearchSky

@lf_araujo Maybe you could take a look at http://scidraw.io which has lots of free science-oriented vector graphics. For edition I use Inkscape (which is FOSS, btw) and I'm really happy with it.

Hey #neuroscience people, I am working on a Nature Medicine submission and wanted a graphic displaying the relationship between locus coeruleus tau and amyloid pathology and memory. Where can I find free assets that I could use? Also, what software you recommend for that?
The UCLA-CDU Dana Center for Neuroscience and Society has been paving the way for a new kind of scientific partnership, one where new visions for relevant neuroscience research could be led by the public. Learn about three of its collaborations with the Los Angeles community to address real-world challenges.

An intriguing twist! TDP-43 (linked to #ALS) keeps RNAs out of neuronal projections by making them unstable, preventing RNA buildup in neurites. #preprint from the #TaliaferroLab
Another excellent post prepared by Felipe Del Valle Batalla

I like Alex O'Connor (formerly the CosmicSkeptic, but softened since his militant atheist days), but as a biologist I was disappointed by this interview with Iain McGilchrist, a psychiatrist who takes an evo-neuro theory too far.
Introducing a divide of focussed vs wider attention of the left vs right brain, he says this is seen in science/logic vs religion/wonder.

I started researching this topic with unbridled (and apparently unfounded) optimism, hoping to highlight an example of a public health problem that we handled so well. Instead, I found a bit of a mixed bag: we made quite a bit of progress in handling lead pollution and still managed to fall short.
