  6. 📢 New preprint! Ten Simple Rules for Running a ReproducibiliTea Journal Club

    The idea of ReproducibiliTea is simple: Get a group of aspiring early career researchers together, drink tea, and critically discuss issues surrounding reproducibility, open research, and academic culture. But how do you even get started? How do you engage people? How do you balance logistics and inspiration?

    In our paper, we as past and present members of the ReproducibiliTea Global Steering Committee have drawn on our experience and that of our wider network to offer you 10 simple rules for organising a ReproducibiliTea journal club. Our aim is to equip you as early career researchers with the tools needed to lead grassroots change in research culture. Whether you are launching your first meeting or sustaining a long-running journal club, these rules are designed to help you brew a welcoming, impactful, and inspired community – one cup of tea at a time.🍵

  12. #today I am in at uni, likely the last time this year, for #JournalClub this morning. We will be reviewing the Monsanto glyphosate safety paper #retraction: sciencedirect.com/science/arti

  13. 📚 New Nat Rev Neurosci #JournalClub by @juangallego: Neural #manifolds: more than the sum of their neurons. He reflects on the shift from single-neuron mappings to population-level #ManifoldRepresentations and suggests that neural manifolds might capture fundamental principles of neural computation and do not just serve as interpretative tools 👍

  15. In our recent #JournalClub, I presented Genkin et al. (2025), who decode #DecisionMaking in the #PremotorCortex of #macaques as low-dimensional #latent #dynamics shared across #NeuralPopulations. Their generative model links tuning curves, spike-time variability, and stimulus-dependent potential landscapes to a common internal decision variable. I summarized and discussed their findings in this blog post:

  16. Recently, we discussed this insightful paper by Squadrani et al (2024) in our #JournalClub. It explores how #astrocytes enhance #SynapticPlasticity during #ReversalLearning by modulating D-serine levels, providing a #biophysical basis for dynamic #LTP thresholds. The findings suggest astrocytic signaling is crucial for #AdaptiveLearning, linking #glial activity to #behavioral flexibility. Here’s a summary from our JC:

  21. Ahora que la gente de @ASAPbio está haciendo este llamado (en la captura) aprovecho para contar nuestra experiencia.

    El año pasado convertimos parte de nuestro seminario del Departamento en el #IIBCE en un espacio de revisión de #peprints.
    Entramos en un programa de ASAPbio y @prereview para los #journalclub y creamos #OSCU ( #openscience community #uruguay ). Es un espacio abierto e inclusivo para la revisión grupal de artículos fuera del circuito de las editoriales comerciales.
    El impacto que tiene en la formación de la gente más joven es enorme, y el apoyo de PREreview es excelente.

    Si te interesa, aquí está el link para más información prereview.org/clubs/open-scien

    Si te dedicas a alguna #ciencia y todavía no conoces a los preprints, es hora de hacerlo. Si no te dedicas pero te interesa la ciencia, también.

  22. #NeuroESC #JournalClub
    Reading Mental exploration of future choices during immobility theta oscillations

    If you've read it, will you let me know what you think?

    The authors look at #ThetaSequences in a working memory task in a radial arm maze. They find theta during immobility (makes sense, e.g. we saw that in our two-goals task). They also find that theta sequences might preferentially represent the next goal (also makes sense, e.g. Hippocampal theta sequences reflect current goals)!

    I have only done a quick reading so far, but am confused by a few points:

    Let me know what you think!

  23. My latest #Neuroesc #JournalClub was on this:
    Rat anterior cingulate neurons responsive to rule or strategy changes are modulated by the hippocampal theta rhythm and sharp-wave ripples

    I won't do a super-long summary like last time, but please share your thoughts if you've read it!

    The author line-up is quite interesting, I think they were all students at the time of data collection which seems to have happened a long time ago, and now many are PIs (@BenoitGirard probably knows about the backstory...)! Probably a pandemic paper??

    The scientific question (what supports rule recognition and strategy shift) is really interesting, and they record in the frontal cortex (#ACC) as well as #Hippocampus (ventral CA1!), but the rats just were not up to the task (1/5 rats actually did what they wanted). I am also not fully convinced by some of the analysis. @jessetm I'd be interested to know what you think of their strategy detection method!

    Why is it that all papers looking at these themes always end up being.. quite complex??

  24. #JournalClub on Closed-loop modulation of remote hippocampal representations with neurofeedback, from #FrankLab: little summary + comments.

    • The goal is to see if rats can deliberately reactivate internal representations, without external cues.
    • The authors design a closed-loop system that does clusterless real-time decoding of position and rewards the rats when they reactivate a specific maze arm end.
    • The rats go through a gradual training process: first getting reward on the actual maze (a T-maze), then getting reward in the home box when they orient towards the target arm of the maze [head-direction task], then getting reward in the home box when they reactivate the representation of the target maze end [neurofeedback task].
    • The rat's performance is not too bad given the difficulty of the task, kudos to Rat2 who seemed to really know what he was doing.
    • interestingly, the reactivations do not happen during #SharpWaveRipples, and not really during theta either, just during an uncharacterised LFP state.
    • Little caveat 1: as far as I can see, the head-direction of the rats is not shown in any plot and it is not possible to say if the rats might still be doing the head-direction task during the neurofeedback task. That being said, the rats clearly reactivate the target arm more in the neurofeedback than head-direction task, which is quite convincing.
    • Little caveat 2: the performance is always shown in terms of total rewards collected, and not reward rate. So in different sessions rats might reach the maximum reward but take twice the time. Showing reward rate would be more informative.

    • conclusion: this is pretty cool, but we would really need to know about the head-direction.

    • question for the audience: what do you think the rats "think about" during those reactivation moments??
