New study in @CellReports showing that a subset of “environment cells” in the hippocampus create an internal representation of specific environments — regardless of salient events that may happen — allowing us to maintain stable memory of distinct environments. @brainpostco

Interesting study @BiologicalPsyc1 finds that patients experiencing a major depressive episode have reduced serotonin release capacity in their frontal cortices, measued with a novel PET tracer. Check out the summary at @brainpostco 🧠🧠🧠

The nutrients in our food 🥦🍅🧀can have profound effects on our brain 🧠 and body 💪, affecting both our health and how we feel. Promoting a diet that is healthy for the brain may have important benefits for our daily lives. For more details check out my summary at @brainpostco

New in @NatureNeuro this week: study identifies a common, broad cross-linguistic brain network for language processing by taking a shallow sampling approach across 45 different languages. The left-laterlized network comprises fronto-temoro-pareital regions.

Really cool work out in @NatureComms that (1) provides a single-cell atlas of normative mouse brain development (publicly available 🥹) and (2) identifies similarities between human tumor cells and embryonic radial glial cells, providing insight into the origins of brain tumors!
