Most studies ask what #oxytocin does by giving it from the outside. But what happens when the brain releases its own? The answer: not a single "oxytocin circuit" but a profound reorganization of brain network dynamics (fMRI + ePhys) favoring salience-related states! 👉 tinyurl.com/mryc8rp6

The reshaping of the neural geometry is distinct in different parts of frontal cortex and depends on the specific attribute. We think that these dynamic representations may serve to coordinate activity across frontal cortex as decision-making unfolds.

New from the lab: Fred Stoll & Neelima Valluru looked at how neural activity in frontal ctx tracks deliberative decision making. In a trial they found that activity flips between the options. When this flip happens it reshapes the neural geometry of option attributes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Similarly trying to find the part of the mouse forelimb homologous to a thumb would be impossible. They don’t have them. Now, a part of mouse frontal ctx is responsible for functions that the PFC in humans handles (guide foraging), but that doesn’t make it PFC. It just makes it analogous to PFC.
120
Rudebeck Lab @rudebecklab.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
Using the definition of homologous that I think that many anatomists would use, mice cannot have a PFC that is homologous to primates, tree shrews etc. Homology in biology refers to a feature shared by a common ancestor. Mice don’t have granular frontal ctx so this area cannot be homologous to PFC.
230
Rudebeck Lab @rudebecklab.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
Fair enough. Dick’s perspective is based on the definition given to PFC by the early anatomists including Brodmann who defined PFC as the cortex anterior to the central sulcus with a clearly defined granule cell layer. In that regard many species have PFC including tree shrews and colugos.
