Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

Random opinion: stochastic optimal control theory is underrated in NeuroAI and theoretical neuro. It's one of the most general and useful frameworks out there. Lots of beautiful math and solid proofs. More people should apply it to neuroscience... 🧠🤖

Representational spaces in orbitofrontal and ventromedial prefrontal cortex: task states, values, and beyond
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and ventromedial-prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) play a key role in decision-making and encode task states in addition to expected value. We review evidence suggesting a conne...
