I’m delighted to share a new paper from our lab led by my PhD student Zihe Wei.
In this study, Zihe used EEG to show that the human brain is equipped to encode multiple facial signals from the faces of strangers.
Congratulations to Zihe!

I had the opportunity to write a research briefing for Nature, in which I summarized our recent work in African Striped Mice. It’s a short read for anyone who wants a quick overview! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Wow, imagine how big this dude’s axons are! 😜
We love a corticothalamic loop!
Dude you're gettin' a Dell!
Am scientist, can confirm
Topographically segregated mediodorsal-prefrontal loops exhibit distinct cue dynamics during learning and extinction https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.02.709125v1
a parameter that adjusts the rate of plasticity in response to learning, you say pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7443916/

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Tonight marks a turning point in NC. Voters in HD106 chose a future where working families thrive. For 15 years, extremists in Raleigh froze wages at $7.25, slashed taxes, and empowered Duke Energy. Tonight, North Charlotte said: enough is enough. Thank you HD106! 💜
If it works independently too it can get a postdoc
okay well that would be a great title for a news and views piece
It's manifolds all the way down.
