Brain-wide reconfiguration of burst firing by psilocybin reveals 5-HT2A-dependent circuit dynamics

In awake mice, psilocybin changed burst firing rather than mean firing rate across thalamus and hippocampus. Ketanserin pretreatment abolished most burst effects, but EEG power and firing-rate changes persisted.

Psilocybin collapses visual change detection and drives cortical dynamics toward a state of surprise

This study shows psilocybin disrupts visual change detection by altering cortical dynamics, particularly in SST interneurons, leading to increased surprise signals.

The SAFE Labs Handbook: Community-Driven Commitments for Group Leaders to Improve Lab Culture

The SAFE Labs Handbook provides thirty commitments for improving lab culture, developed by group leaders and rated by researchers, showing high importance but low implementation rates.

Bounded optimality of time investments in rats, mice, and humans

This study shows that humans, rats, and mice invest time based on statistical confidence, approaching optimal time allocation strategies under uncertainty.
