Thrilled to share the recent preprint / & thesis project of @pearlsald.bsky.social: We had rats actively pursue a moving bait & found a dedicated subset of retrosplenial cortex cells encoding target location (but not boundaries or objects) relative to the head. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Some argue that prefrontal cortex is just premotor cortex— but how does it relate to actions we make, really? We dug into this in work led by @idavrautio.bsky.social: unlike most of cortex, PFC is weakly connected to motor behavior and operates at longer timescales. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Now hiring: capable post-doc wanting to dig into the behavioral & cortical algorithms of predictive pursuit. 4-yr position @kavlintnu.bsky.social Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience.

In a world lousy with chaos, I at least started this gem today- nice work, Nachum!

We are looking for a research assistant/lab manager to join the lab! A supportive, collaborative environment where you can learn neural recording with Neuropixels, optogenetics, fiber photometry, and neural data analysis.

Kicking off Bluesky with BlueBerry, our open-access, multichannel wireless optogenetic device for freely moving rodents. Visit www.OptoBlueBerry.org for documentation and see its neuroscience applications from large-scale to social settings in our recent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... ​
