This piece by Gaby Hinsliff, prompted by an anthropologist's study of English railway enthusiasts, caught my attention.

I'm less interested in considering the question "Should we stop trying to make men more like women?" than in challenging the all too often presented and hopelessly simplistic dichotomy of emotional regulation: "bottling it all up" versus "letting it all out".

Surely we can have a more variegated and sensitive account of how we might or might not express our feelings, one that would allow for individuality, irony, indirectness as well as intimacy, and that would show awareness of both the Scylla of incontinence and the Charybdis of inhibition.

#Inhibition has had a bad rap.

On shunting inhibition in Drosophila: what else could the GABAergic Choosy LNs be doing onto olfactory PNs in the antennal lobe? Their synapses are positioned just so, much closer to the root of the dendritic tree than any other inhibitory input synapes from other LN types line Broad LNs or Picky LNs.

“There is no ‘reason’ why a Star should continue in its orbit. Let her rip! Every time the conscious acts, it interferes with the Subconscious, which is Hadit. It is the voice of Man, and not of a God. Any man who ‘listens to reason’ ceases to be a revolutionary. … It is ridiculous to ask a dog why it barks. One must fulfil one’s true Nature, one must do one’s Will. To question this is to destroy confidence, and so to create an inhibition. … We are not to calculate, to argue, to criticise; these things lead to division of will and to stagnation. They are shackles of our Going. They hamstring our Pegasus. We are to rise up – to Go – to Love – we are to be awake, alert”

Source: BioRxIV, AbstractInfluenza has been responsible for multiple global pandemics and seasonal epidemics and claimed millions of lives. The imminent threat of a panzootic outbreak of avian influenza H5N1 virus underscores the urgent need for pandemic preparedness and effective countermeasures, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

Since May 2023, a novel combination of NA #mutations, I223V+S247N, has been detected in viruses collected in countries spanning 5 continents, mostly in #Europe (67/101). Viruses belong to 2 phylogenetically distinct groups & display ≈13-fold reduced inhibition by oseltamivir while retaining normal susceptibility to other antivirals.

What a week this has been! 3 papers out and it's still Thursday!
Definitely too much, now I should brace for 6 months of rejections

The first is on motor processes during speech perception. We studied the neural encoding (#EEG) of articulatory #synergies during speech listening. With partial information decomposition we described unique #motor information in theta and delta bands depending on task difficulty.

The second is on the multiple time scales of #interpersonal #motor coordination. Here we demonstrate that submovement coordination is a potentially fundamental mechanism that participates in interpersonal motor coordination regardless of the sensory domain mediating the interaction.

http://t.ly/szd0h

The third is on how interpersonal motor coordination is regulated via neurophysiological #inhibition . Here we confirm a dissociation between fast and slow inhibition and provide evidence that dorsal #premotor areas are key for motor co-adaptations.
