So inspiring

Fear, monkeys, and institutional courage When news broke of an explosion inside Harvard’s neurobiology building early Saturday morning, every scientist who works with monkeys felt it—an involuntary jolt, a spike of cortisol, the silent thought: what if it had been us? Neither animals nor people…

Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...

My department, Cornell BME, is hiring! This tenure-track faculty position is a great opportunity to join a vibrant community that values research, teaching, and entrepreneurship. 📝 academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30816

Wow !

New paper from the lab: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A brief thread (1/10)

Looking for a PhD program where you can study computational neuroscience? NYU has a fantastic array of researchers covering the field: groups.google.com/g/systems-ne...

This this and this ! Also funders don’t get it either many times.

Amazing resource ;)

🚨Pre-print alert! 🚨https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.17.683171v1 Our new study tackles the question: do all neurons in motor cortices (MC) encode movement & coordinate as we move? Answering this question will be key for effectively targeting motor representations in BCIs.

Amazing. Such a wonderful achievement

The work with bats on barren, 7-acre Latham Island was Nachum Ulanovsky’s most complex undertaking yet. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neuroetholog...

Legendary experiment that looks like it was a ton of fun.

"The connectome is like a road map."

Show time!

Neuroscientists might be forgiven for thinking that they can suction their way back to trust. They have rarely faced opposition to their science. But they should look harder at histories of (say) evolutionary biology vs creationism, climate science vs fossil fuels, vaccines vs hesitancy.

All-optical experiments are great but @neurorussell.bsky.social found that opsin desensitization due to cross-talk between the imaging laser and the opsin causes major issues. These can be ameleorated with long inter-stimulus intervals & short imaging doses. All here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

❤️❤️❤️

@maxhodak.bsky.social’s first public talk on consciousness!! this is very high level in a product sense, but lays out what we’re really going for at science corp, and some of the extremely interesting problems that have nerd sniped us all. 🧪, 🧠📈, 🧠🤖 youtu.be/DI6Hu-DhQwE

🎇 Excited to finally share JL Romero Sosa’s publication! Results are from single-cell imaging in different subregions of rat frontal cortex during ✨de novo learning. Spoiler: everything is not everywhere all at once www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨Big news!🚨 The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research. I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

I'm recruiting a PhD student to study how enkephalins affect cognitive processing in the rodent frontal cortex. The project uses pharmacology, multi-electrode recordings, and fiber photometry, and is funded by NIDA. Please share with trainees applying this cycle. Thanks!

The neural control & computation lab is recruiting! If you're interested in using large-scale neural population recordings to study how the brain learns to produce complex and flexible behaviours, please get in touch. www.ncclab.ca

We will have an NHP position open at @westernu.ca this year. Posting is coming soon. If you're interested about our setup and the opportunities here, feel free to get in touch.

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

New in @pnas.org: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... We study how humans explore a 61-state environment with a stochastic region that mimics a “noisy-TV.” Results: Participants keep exploring the stochastic part even when it’s unhelpful, and novelty-seeking best explains this behavior. #cogsci #neuroskyence

This is fantastic work. Monkeys show the same pattern of “optimistic” exploration in multi-arm bandits www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Convergent and divergent neural and behavioral responses to chronic cocaine use in macaques https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.23.678075v1

Understanding behavior requires datasets that capture humans while carrying out complex tasks. The kitchen is an excellent environment for assessing human motor and cognitive function, as many complex actions are naturally exhibited in kitchens from chopping to 🧽! arxiv.org/abs/2506.01608

Amazing news!!! Mazel Tov

This is amazing work !!!

Hihihihi we all do ;)

Beautiful!!

Back to my cave robin

Yes, I am on the academic job market looking to start my own lab at the intersection of molecular, computational, and systems neuroscience! If you think my work may be interest to your department, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you, Keri!

🙌

New funding opportunity from the BRAIN Initiative! Applications due Oct 28! grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Very grateful to be among an inspiring group of @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellows for the next 4-7 years. We will infuse brain anatomy into AI to study shared principles and important differences in cognition across species. www.ukri.org/news/ukri-an...

Job post alert!👩‍🔬 Postdoctoral fellow in CompNeuro/ML in the Artificial and Biological Computation lab at NYU (csavin.wixsite.com/savinlab). Exciting opening in the Data and Theory team in the new Simons Collaboration in Ecological Neuroscience! www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/24/s... #neuroskyence

A rare day when an email task sparks joy:

Multisensory coding of self-motion and its contribution to navigation — a Review by Dun Mao & Yong Gu www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience #neuroskyence

Submissions (short!) due for SNUFA spiking neural networks conference in <2 weeks! 🤖🧠🧪 forms.cloud.microsoft/e/XkZLavhaJe More info at snufa.net/2025/ Note that we normally get around 700 participants and recordings go on YouTube and get 100s-1000s views. Please repost.

Excited to share this super comprehensive review of psychedelic research in NHPs! W/ Alex Kwan. This work was by our grad student Jamie who is passionate about psychedelics. Her in-depth knowledge is impressive as reflected here. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

To the most creative neuroscientist I have ever met. Amazing

Of potential interest to those keen on motor control and/or multi-task networks. Congrats to Elom and Eric. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

When you publish something, it is the highest form of compliment when others try to build on it. You demean your reputation and cause direct harm to others when your work is not reproducible. 8/8
