Adjusting to a shifting reality
Our brains toggle between existing mental maps and new information.
In a new @natcomms.nature.com study, Yale Psychiatry & @yaleneuro.bsky.social's @georgedragoi.bsky.social found that when assessing a new environment, the brain switches 🧠 between prior mental maps 🗺️. Dragoi suggests that this "mental flickering" may be essential to learning!

Researchers Discover Molecular Difference in Autistic Brains
Brains of autistic individuals have fewer of a specific kind of glutamate receptor, supporting an idea that autism is driven by a signaling imbalance.
In a new study, @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social researchers found that people with autism have fewer glutamate receptors 🧬, potentially causing an imbalance of excitatory & inhibitory signaling in the brain. 🔬✨

New insight into how cilia on cell surfaces break down
In a new study, Yale researchers identified a pathway that allows cells to “disassemble” their cilia before division — and found a possible connection to a neurological disorder.
In a new study, @yale.edu's Shane Elliott, Paul Ready, and the
@davidbreslowlab.bsky.social identified 2 genes🧬that control how cells assemble & dismantle cilia—pointing to new strategies for treating diseases linked to ciliary breakdown!

I thought we would never work on gamma oscillations again, but I was wrong 🤷♀️ So happy to see this work out in @nature.com! This was a truly epic project spearheaded by @q-perrenoud.bsky.social. Gamma isn't always an oscillation, but it's critical for sensory encoding and perceptual performance 🧠
