So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL. For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter. Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

We are looking for a talented neuroscience research technician to join our lab at Columbia University! This is an ideal position for a recent college graduate interested in pursuing hands-on research for 2 years before applying to PhD programs. opportunities.columbia.edu/cw/en-us/job...

Again and again and again and again. You see where this antisemitism and anti Israel hatred leads! Enough is enough. Never again

🚀🎓We have exciting opportunities at the PhD and Postdoc level, including in the new Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience, a 10-year initiative spanning a powerful international network of labs working across species and disciplines - please reach out if interested bsky.app/profile/simo...

Petition in Germany with 40,000 signatures calls for a phased EU-wide end to primate research. EARA stresses that #NHP studies remain vital for developing treatments and vaccines and warning against politically driven restrictions before alternatives are ready. www.eara.eu/post/petitio...

We tend to think of neurons as either excitatory or inhibitory, but some neurons chemically inhibit their downstream targets while electrically exciting their neighbors. What is gained by having an inhibitory neuron excite its neighbor? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Spread the word: I'm looking to hire a postdoc to explore the concept of attention (as studied in psych/neuro, not the transformer mechanism) in large Vision-Language Models. More details here: lindsay-lab.github.io/2025/12/08/p... #MLSky #neurojobs #compneuro

scientist men on bluesky i promise you can exist on this platform without everything you post trying to argue about how the brain works (consciousness, waves, whatever the fuck). it will be okay

@champalimaudf.bsky.social just installed a custom-built 18-Tesla horizontal-bore MRI scanner – the strongest for in-vivo imaging – to advance preclinical research non-invasively in neuroscience and cancer. Full story: shorturl.at/pGREa #PreclinicalResearch #Neuroscience #Cancer #MedicalImaging

What an epic opportunity

❤️❤️❤️

Primates are absolutely critical for developing safe and effective gene therapies

So excited to see our latest paper out today in @natcomms.nature.com! Studies led by the amazing @margestelzner.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... VTA GABA neurons have a unique role in economic decision making - they integrate reward seeking motivation and the current cost of seeking

So stoked to have our image on the cover of this week's issue of Journal of Neuroscience!! @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci #SfN25. Check out the final version of the paper here www.jneurosci.org/content/45/4...

Apropos of... well... I'm reviewing applications for a variety of things right now and can tell when letters are written by AI. There aren't many of them but they do exist. They are... not good. If you're an academic trainee, choose your mentors wisely.

How our foray into acute neural recordings from the frontopolar cortex started. Check out Kati Rothenhoefer’s LBP028 poster this afternoon (11/16) to learn about how it’s going. #sfn25 #sfn2025

Folks @ #SfN2025 - wondering what to do on this rainy Saturday evening? I've got the solution for you. Come to hear discussions about how we can help advocate for our science and ourselves, meet new & old friends, & enjoy some snacks at the WINE social. 7pm at Deck 655 tonight.

After the Human Single-Neuron meeting which was really fun, it's time for SfN! And this year, I *am* looking for a post-doc 😯

Our lab is looking for a postdoc! We have interesting projects and cutting-edge techniques such as Neuropixels Opto, Light Beads Microscopy and more. We would be delighted to receive your application. Deadline is 25 November 2025. More info here: www.ucl.ac.uk/cortexlab/po...

I entirely agree. Research in rodents has enabled remarkable technical advances and deepened our understanding of brainstem circuits and general brain physiology. However, only NHPs possess cognitive, visual, and motor faculties necessary to advance human-relevant systems neuroscience.

this is a wonderful overview and very exciting. Great work

this this and this

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!
