For the outsider here, what are we looking at? VENs are positive for?? And what is the new paper referenced?

Have you done a PREreview? Next time, you could light it up before it’s official ⚡️🧠🔥

Vinny, let’s talk, looping in my TUS colleagues ⚡️🧠

Interesting, ok, we plan to try it with our human unit data and compare with other tools - but duly noted!

Lab move complete! Our new space for human psychophysics and building and testing tools for direct intracranial stimulation in humans is ready for several exciting new projects!

I will look but sounds like you got it already 👍🏽

Thanks for your comments on this Vinny

That’s good👍🏽 32 has strong reciprocal connections with ento. I’m sure you’re familiar with the anatomical NHP literature?

Peter Kaskan @peterkaskan.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

I just saw the poster 👍🏽 Interesting they seem to be only (best?) localized in area 32

My first SfN 🤓 Returning to LA for the Human Single Neuron meeting at Caltech and then another @sfn.org in San Diego. Looking forward to old friends and new colleagues!! Hope our flights go through 🛫🧠🧠🧠🛬

You should read my paper on the role of the amygdala in attending to naturalistic affective visual stimuli 😁

Peter Kaskan @peterkaskan.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Going back to the rodent findings (and I haven’t read the paper yet), stimuli have multiple dimensions and uses, so it’s not surprising to find these things represented in many areas, but I don’t think this makes areas totally meaningless

Peter Kaskan @peterkaskan.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

It was said many times before Steve but he’s a good guy ;) What I meant was that more areas may allow for entirely different computations. Extra dimensions mean you use those circuits differently. I’m saying something may be fundamentally different, beyond the trivial addition of extra real estate

Peter Kaskan @peterkaskan.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Haha, brain areas are still important! Always consider multiple levels of functional organization… I don’t need to remind you of all those “extra” areas in NHPs and humans 😁 Primates are solving the problems with extra machinery - and creating new spaces - and new problems!

Peter Kaskan @peterkaskan.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

We are going to answer that by ignoring voxels entirely, focusing on human single units 😁

Come learn about amygdala circuits with us this Thursday afternoon at #ohbm2025 in Brisbane @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

The NIH move to restrict animal research is a bad one and not just about health - it's about national security. More here: medium.com/@eblissmorea...

This will kill us: restricting animal research

Tuesday, as my lab gathered to celebrate the completion of one of our big studies, the National Institutes of Health announced that they…

Would love to chat after I get a chance to read your paper! We are recording units in human insula, amygdala, OFC etc. to study (among other things) mood 😁😀🙂😐😕🙁☹️

What are people using to morph human faces or other visual stimuli? ☹️🙁😐🙂😁
