Should neuroscientists ‘vibe code’?
Researchers are developing software entirely through natural language conversations with advanced large language models. The trend is transforming how research gets done—but it also presents new challenges for evaluating the outcomes.

Experimentalists versus modelers — whose work has more lasting impact?
My informal analysis of some of neuroscience’s most cited papers from 1999 explores what drives scientific durability.
