Yep, Doris's (and all the events in the main hall Skirball) are already available in the drop down menu on the site. Events in other rooms are also being recorded and everything will be posted to the YouTube page after the conference

In fact, I think that this is *the* great sin of psychology. We want so badly to be a grown up science like physics that we never bothered to get rid of our phlogiston and ether and establish our particles, elements, and mechanics. We don't have solid foundations in almost any part of our field.

A great entry by @nicolecrust.bsky.social in a fantastic resource. Gives a succinct overview regarding all the difficulties related to emotion and affective science oecs.mit.edu/pub/bhn7j5s7...

Emotions, Moods, and Affective States — OECSThe phenomena that comprise emotions, moods, and affective states are united by their valence—their pleasantness or unpleasantness—such as the pleasure of seeing a baby laugh or the aversion to smelli...oecs.mit.edu

How does the brain represent the value of knowledge? In our paper--out now at Nature Neuroscience--we identify a representation of intrinsic information value within neural population structures in the orbitofrontal cortex in mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41593-026-02377-y #neuroskyence 🧠🧪 (1/8)

Representations of the intrinsic value of information in mouse orbitofrontal cortex - Nature NeuroscienceMice are motivated to seek information of no extrinsic value. Recording neural activity in orbitofrontal cortex reveals a representation of the value of information that is distinct from the value of ...www.nature.com

Ketamine increases neuroplasticity in female mice but not males. With @istaresearch.bsky.social, we found the key gene behind the difference. If it holds in humans, it could reshape how we approach assessing treatments. 🔗 Story: https://bit.ly/4yM4hvL 🔬 Journal article: https://bit.ly/4pYisK8

Hey neuroscientists, do you have a story about a time when journalism has improved your science? If so, I'd love to include it in my next op-ed. 🧠

Best news ever- I have finally earned my PhD in Neuroscience!!🧠 My thesis was completed in the lab of Dr. Gregory Corder @flybottleescape.bsky.social & is titled: “Opioidergic Organization of the Nociceptive Medial Thalamus & A Behavioral Model of Placebo Analgesia”

“A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.” “West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.”
