One more week to apply for this cool collaborative PhD project in Bonn and Göttingen! Are you interested in peeking inside the brain with miniscopes while mice are navigating using olfactory or visuospatial cues to find out how the hippocampus encodes this information and behaviour? Then apply now!

Excited to share our new preprint! We explore the link between the locus coeruleus (LC) and arousal for astrocytes, pyramidal cells, interneurons in the hippocampus. A fantastic collaboration with @sianduss.bsky.social @bohaceklab.bsky.social, and many others: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/5

Please spread the word🔊My lab is looking to hire two international postdocs. If you want to do comp neuro, combine machine learning and awesome math to understand neural circuit activity, then come work with us! Bonn is such a cool place for neuroscience now, you don't want to miss out.

Delighted to share our first preprint of the year! A project that we're all really proud of in the lab led by @ossamaghenissa.bsky.social with @mathiasgua.bsky.social in which we set out to test the role of basolateral amygdala astrocytes in anxiety behaviour. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am excited to share our new paper, where we developed and used a new approach that allows us to dynamically monitor autophagy in the intact mouse brain! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Paper alert: How do learning and memory emerge in the brain? DZNE's @jangrundemann.bsky.social and colleagues have observed a key mechanism of neuronal adaptability in the living brain for the 1st time. Published in @natneuro.nature.com, the study reveals dynamic regulation of nerve cell signaling.

New study on axon initial segment plasticity by Chloé Benoit and Dan Ganea. Using a deep brain imaging approach, we find that AIS length changes dynamically during associative learning. Thank you to the wonderful team and collaborators who made this work possible. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

BonnBrain 2026 is officially sold out! Last admission decisions will be sent soon. Thank you for the overwhelming interest! We are looking forward to a fantastic meeting in Bonn next March.

Excited to share our new work on visual information processing in the retinocollicular pathway. We discovered that while luminance responses can predict motion responses in retinal ganglion cells, this prediction does not hold in the superior colliculus cells. www.cell.com/current-biol...

lab preprint! Interopceptive predictions are central to many brain-body interactions theories, but it's unclear if/how they affect bodily physiology. We (fearless Einav Litvak et al) show that insular cortex predictions are essential for glucose homeostasis-THREAD.. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 Last chance to apply for participation for BonnBrain 2026! 🚨 We have very few slots left (attending with or without presentation) and will select the last participants early next week. Apply before December 15th to be considered! bonnbrain.de
