- Reposted by Chunyu Ann DuanLet's talk about "grumpy lab person". Many labs have them. With an eye to keeping science at its most rigorous, they cross the line into criticism that's too harsh. They are the ones who risk killing your scientific spirit. They are reviewer 2. /1

- Happy holidays from the Duan Lab! We celebrated with some delicious and spicy Thai food :)
- New preprint from the lab! A frontal motor circuit for economic decisions and actions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We use a novel task in mice, cortex-wide imaging and optogenetics, NPX recording and modelling to reveal a circuit mechanism that transforms abstract decisions to spatial actions.
- Those I cannot find on bluesky but also inspired our work: Paul Glimcher Xinying Cai Paul Cisek Karel Svoboda Nuo Li Zengcai Guo Shaul Druckmann Simon Musall Lucas Pinto Geoffrey Schoenbaum And many more!

- First preprint from our lab! An @jerlich.bsky.social collaboration We developed novel frameworks to study multi-agent decisions in mice. Mice flexibly shift their decision preference under social competition, by integrating real-time self and opponent information! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
