Another perspective: someone's career can be delayed or completely ended because of delays in review. Who is to blame when reviewing papers is seen as a burden?

Dendritic arbors provide neuroscience with an ideal opportunity to study how individual neurons interact with their broader circuitry and are the field’s best bet to bridge cellular and systems neuroscience, writes @justinkohare.bsky.social.

With this one in print, I think I finally earned that PhD... 😅
Presented for the first time at the cosyne when the world ended (March 2020). I'll bring over a summary thread from twitter when it was still twitter...

Congrats Dan! Great thread and paper
Thrilled to finally share this work! 🧠🔊
Using a new reinforcement-free task we show mice (like humans) extract abstract structure from sound (unsupervised) & dCA1 is causally required by building factorised, orthogonal subspaces of abstract rules.

Fully agree! Did you try codex from openAI by any chance? I have heard mixed reviews on CC, but not sure it's because they have applied it to large coding projects, which is not the case in code we use in neuro research
Our paper is out in @natneuro.nature.com!

We develop a geometric theory of how neural populations support generalization across many tasks.

Revisiting the high-dimensional geometry of population responses in the visual cortex with @jpillowtime.bsky.social. The review took forever because a reviewer was doubtful our new estimator can infer eigenvalues beyond the rank of the data! (1/6)
Dr Kareem Carr man: i wish to publish @kareem_carr Jan 21 reviewer 2: your paper is no good man: i'll do anything to improve reviewer 2: it's simple. you must read the work of the great scientist Pagliarini man: *bursts into tears* but i am Pagliarini Andre Pagliarini @apagliar Jan 21 a first: in rejecting an article I submitted to a journal, reviewer 2 noted I failed to engage the work of one Andre Pagliarini Jan 21, 2026 • 3:47 PM UTC
I just thought everyone should see this
excerpt from PDF file showing the mouse cursor floating over "cvPCs" causing the words "cross-validated principal components" to appear
A humble proposal: all abbreviations in scientific papers should use PDF tooltips to expand the abbreviation when the mouse pointer hovers over them.
Anyone agree/disagree?

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
Great read for the holidays. My own q: Is the brain area framework the phrenology 2.0?
This looks super interesting! biorxiv server is down for me, but I'm interested to know how these written in stone sequences play back during behavior/task. The first thing that comes to mind is George Dragoi's ideas of pre-play and pre-established neural grammar (in hippocampus).
it appears your manuscript "in preparation" was not published in 2025 after all, mr. bond

🧠📢 New preprint alert
Large-scale ephys is exploding but spike sorting remains the computational bottleneck. A 2-hr, 6-probe Neuropixels 2.0 Quad Base session can take over a week to sort on a single machine. Here's a better solution. 🧵

I sure hope publication fees are not sponsoring this
Also, thread numbering with 0-index 🤌🏾
I find it particularly interesting that thalamocortical communication seems to happen in the residual dimensions. This matches ideas from Semedo2019 about communication subspace =\= main subspaces
The whole paper is thought provoking, and congrats to @ulisespereirao.bsky.social. I recommend people to read it entirely before claiming it against the manifold hypothesis, out of ~thousands of cells, 10 dimensions explained most of the variance

This 2017 preprint by @suryaganguli.bsky.social is foundational: the dimension of a neural code can't be > that of the experiment used to measure it. Yet it is not very widely known. Maybe because people don't like the message? And because it's "unpublished"? (After writing it, Gao left for SpaceX)
Me trying to keep up with the oscillations discussion in bluesky
We will have a thread and a party when the paper comes out! In the meantime the updated preprint is greatly improved over previous versions thanks to constructive feedback from reviewers!
I'm happy to share that I've recently started a postdoctoral position in the Priya Rajasethupathy Lab at Rockefeller University!
I'm excited for this new chapter where I'll continue exploring brain intrinsic activity and the rules that govern cognition, now diving deeper into molecular approaches.
Remember to share your posters online if you can, so folks like me can see what you have been up to 🧐
For everyone going to #SfN in San Diego
