1/7 Our paper on individual variability in decision-making is finally out in @nature.com! Inspired by the classic work by Mante and Sussillo, we trained many rats to solve context-dependent decision-making, and we found that different brains use different neural mechanisms to solve the same task!

Study section tracking sheet update of the day answers your burning question: Is my study section rescheduled? I've rearranged to put sections that didn't meet on the left and added a column noting if it's been rescheduled. Subject to change as FRNs go out! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek! Today, we're highlighting fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) as a key model organism in #neuroscience research. Despite their tiny size, fruit flies have surprisingly complex brains and behaviors, making them powerful tools to study neural circuits. #KavliNeuro #BAW
