Our back-translation of value-modulated attentional capture to rats and mice is now published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, and it's open access! Yay.

Here's a quick analysis I did on data I've been collecting on psych/neuro faculty applicants. I don't have data on unsuccessful applicants, but my inference is that women mentored by women have to rely more on bringing in $ to get a faculty job than men mentored by men.

My lab is looking for an intern interested in the molecular basis of cognitive decline. Work includes deep phenotyping of animal behavior and downstream analysis, including DLC tracking, motif mining (e.g. with Keypoint-MoSeq), and -omics. On-site at EMBL Rome, paid, 1-year commitment. DMs open.

I was trying to look for them but not sure if got to the right place. Do you mind sharing the link?

Astrocytes stabilize circuits in adult mouse brain The glial cells secrete a protein that suppresses plasticity post-development.

Astrocytes put the brakes on brain plasticity in mice by secreting the protein CCN1 to stabilize existing circuitry, a Nature study shows.
