Xing Chen et al report the long-term damage by 16 Utah arrays in the visual cortex of monkeys, glued together as one plate. We observe substantial cortical damage. Other electrode types will be needed (e.g. highly flexible ones) for a visual prosthesis. iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

Now that @vangreenmouse have developed a cool, automated method for training and even imaging mice, experimenters can take a step back and let the data roll in. Could be a good system for new lab schedules which limit personnel in the lab at any one time! elifesciences.org/articles/5…

A new methodology and protocol use automated brain imaging and task training technology to probe links between behavior and mouse cortical circuits.

Many of us pay small $ per month for some services, e.g. netflix. Did you know you can do that with science funding? Taxes fund $10/month on NIH per person. By donating just $10 per month we could *double* science funding. Here's my "subscription" to @BBRFoundation
