Mashup Score: 21Astrocytes: integrators of arousal state and sensory context - 1 year(s) ago
The brain is constantly integrating signals conveying information about the inner states of the body with external sensory inputs from the outside world to produce appropriate, context-dependent behaviors [1–4]. This process ensures both efficient behavioral shifts when conditions change and the selection of relevant information for memory consolidation to guide future behavior.

Mashup Score: 0The value of large-scale studies of sleep and cognition - 1 year(s) ago
Large-scale, global studies providing representative characterisation of sleep and its relation to cognitive performance are rare. In a recent study using a video game to assess spatial navigation, Coutrot and colleagues found that, among participants aged 54-70 years, optimal wayfinding performance was associated with a self-reported sleep duration of 7 h. The results also showed that, while the…

Mashup Score: 0
The course of pupillary constriction and dilation provides an easy-to-access, inexpensive, and noninvasive readout of brain activity. We propose a new taxonomy of factors affecting the pupil and link these to associated neural underpinnings in an ascending hierarchy. In addition to two well-established low-level factors (light level and focal distance), we suggest two further intermediate-level…

Mashup Score: 0A call for more clarity around causality in neuroscience - 1 year(s) ago
In neuroscience, the term ‘causality’ is used to refer to different concepts, leading to confusion. Here we illustrate some of those variations, and we suggest names for them. We then introduce four ways to enhance clarity around causality in neuroscience.

Mashup Score: 0
Our brains have evolved the ability to configure and adapt their processing states to match the unique challenges of acting and learning in diverse environments and behavioral contexts. In biological nervous systems, such state specification and adaptation arise in part from neuromodulators, including acetylcholine, noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine, whose diffuse release fine-tunes neuronal…

Mashup Score: 0The use of language in autism research - 2 year(s) ago
The past three decades have seen a major shift in our understanding of the strong links between autism and identity. These developments have called for careful consideration of the language used to describe autism. Here, we briefly discuss some of these deliberations and provide guidance to researchers around language use in autism research.

Mashup Score: 2Neuroethical and Societal Challenges of 21st Century Epidemics - 2 year(s) ago
Neurologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19 are affecting a growing number of people worldwide. We provide a brief overview of these manifestations, contrasting them with those of other 21st century viral epidemics, as well as mitigation strategies, and societal and moral considerations related to the pandemic. We highlight unique concerns relating to COVID-19 given the scale of…

Mashup Score: 0Addressing the Gender Gap in Research: Insights from a Women in Neuroscience Conference - 2 year(s) ago
There has been growing interest in quantifying the proportion of women participating in scientific conferences, publications, and committees. Numbers reveal persistent disparities, but offer few cures to the root causes of the gender gaps in research. Toward remediation, we outline five lessons learned through organizing two conferences for Women in Neuroscience (WiN). These recommendations build…

Mashup Score: 2Blood–Brain Barrier Dynamics to Maintain Brain Homeostasis - 3 year(s) ago
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic platform for exchange of substances between the blood and the brain parenchyma, and it is an essential functional gatekeeper for the central nervous system (CNS). While it is widely recognized that BBB disruption is a hallmark of several neurovascular pathologies, an aspect of the BBB that has received somewhat less attention is the dynamic modulation of…
