Our new review is the first to systematic overview of all the main areas of research and concludes there is no evidence of a link between low serotonin and depression nature.com/articles/s4138… THREAD
Dense network mapping in the human cortex has revealed a large interneuron-to-interneuron network that is almost absent in the mouse. This novel neuronal network may constitute a key evolutionary invention in the human cortex. Learn more: fcld.ly/tke9xg0 #ScienceResearch

Fantastic #postdocjob at @MRCcmm, and within our Microbiome cluster, to study the effect of mutations in CFTR on host-pathogen interactions. You can find this on our Jobs page, where all other future opportunities within the network will also be listed: nmgn.mrc.ukri.org/jobs/
1/8 Can we use embodied AI to gain insight into *why* neural systems are as they are? In previous work👇, we demonstrated that a contrastive unsupervised objective substantially outperforms supervised object categorization at generating networks that predict mouse visual cortex.
