This is very interesting. I am always terrified by extracellular recordings and Neuropixels have aggravated my anxiety. So I really appreciate studies like this. #neuroskyence

Basket cells, parvalbumin expressing or fast-spiking neurons, names that emphasize different properties of the same type. However they are not all the same, like these in the mouse barrel cortex: one has axon in its layer; the other sends axon to other layers Both are very beautiful #neuroskyence

Congratulations to @seanfw.bsky.social and team! Very interesting project leveraging large scale models to make sense of the even larger scale anatomical diversity across regions and species

Interesting passage. Buffon starts with a jab at the idea of classification by means of reducing beings to an ideal form. Are we, cell typers, exaggerating in splitting the transcriptomic dendrograms? This reminds me of Agmon’s review pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39091993/ #neuroskyence #evolution

Our first steps into sensory processing is now online! Work spearheaded by Rejwan Salih from experiments by @prime5222.bsky.social and François Pauzin We were lucky to receive guidance from Davide Zoccolan on the analytical methods. #neuroskyence

This week I am sharing the closing remarks from Wallace’s The Malay Archipelago. Here Wallace gives a critique of of Victorian society and what he learned living with the people he met in his travels #historyofscience #biogeography #neuroskyence

A few highlights of a morning birdwatching in Bali Barat National Park @gquattrocolo.bsky.social The two mynas are critically endangered and the park has a repopulation program

This week I am sharing this very interesting study where I learned about the weird meiosis of 🌹 #evolution

📢 Calling all senior neuro postdocs: SYNAPSES brings postdocs from around the world to Yale to share their work during an in-person symposium on October 23, 2025. Apply today to present your research, talk with faculty members in 1:1s, & interact with Yale postdocs! 🧠🧪 Deadline Sept 7. #neuroskyence

Bali surprised me as it did with Wallace @gquattrocolo.bsky.social

And we are off for some tropical birdwatching in Bali @gquattrocolo.bsky.social #birdwatching

The sun is finally shining on the last day of recordings before going on vacation, so I make my own sunshine with an LED and some channelrhodopsin #neuroskyence

If birds of paradise are glorified crows, then I have my own bird of paradise #birdwatching

Since I like birds and beer, my son chose this for me #birdwatching

Beautiful episode of @englishhistpod podcast. The I-mutation phenomenon is super interesting and it happened also in Italian languages! historyofenglishpodcast.com/2013/11/27/epi…

Thrilled to announce I'll be starting my own neuro-theory lab, as an Assistant Professor at @yaleneuro.bsky.social @wutsaiyale.bsky.social this Fall! My group will study offline learning in the sleeping brain: how neural activity self-organizes during sleep and the computations it performs. 🧵

I’m so honored to be selected as both a 2025 McKnight Scholar and 2025 HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar. And I couldn’t be prouder to share these honors with awesome @ucdavis.bsky.social colleagues 💙💛💙💛 health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...

It was great catching up with friends and meeting new people at the FENS regional meeting in Oslo. Nice ceremony at the Rådhuset, the chance to present our work and visit the new dinosaurs #neuroskyence

Less than two months before our book is finally released. If you are interested in bird behaviour or comparative neurobiology and want to learn more, this is the book for you! mitpress.mit.edu/978026255273... And the ebook will be open access! #neuroskyence #ornithology #birds 🧪🧠

In 2013 @gquattrocolo.bsky.social and I visited Badlands National Park. I uploaded this picture on the community website of the National Geographic and an editor liked it. This was the first thing I published that was liked by an editor and I am very proud of it.

Chaffinches are some of the best singers in Norwegian spring #birdwatching

This is so intriguing! Immunology is a beautiful field and the intersection with neuroscience is very interesting!

I fell in love with neurophysiology because of the beautiful biophysical properties of stellate cells pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8395571/ Finally I go back to these cells and put biocytin in them and what a wonderful surprise Stained and imaged by Kristian Moan @gquattrocolo.bsky.social #neuroskyence

The two faces of FFI #neuroskyence

Two revolutionary articles! They proceed in parallel using the same arguments. #evolution

🤔 Thinking about a career outside of academia? 📅 At the end of May we will welcome Dr. Christina Konen, scientific editor at Neuron, who will give an insight into her work! Taking place at our MPI in Munich and open to everyone. 🔗 All details here: www.psych.mpg.de/seminars #neuroskyence

The way to men’s heart is through their stomach, well there might be another way to their brain. This week I am sharing this interesting perspective on brain expansion. I love these theories about outsourcing functions to external factors, reminds me of niche construction.

It was an absolute honor and pleasure to host today Ileana Hanganu-Opatz for our seminar series. Her work is super inspiring and she was the best guest! @kavlintnu.bsky.social #neuroskyence

🚨Paper Alert🚨 Our paper on the mechanism of homeostatic control in PV interneuron activity is now online in Nature! A massive thanks to all the authors, including @clembrnrd.bsky.social and @marinlab.bsky.social. Read the paper at www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Patching MEC stellate cells again for @gquattrocolo.bsky.social @kdneuro.bsky.social Last time was in 2012 in Oslo!

Same day, 2014 in Northwestern University vs. 2025 in NTNU @gquattrocolo.bsky.social #neuroskyence

This week I am sharing this interesting review by Michael Brecht that generated an interesting discussion at lab meeting #neuroskyence

Beautiful science from protein biophysics to behavior and translational research! #neuroskyence

What about visiting a neuroscience conference in Europe this year? There is still time to register for IBNS in Tromsø (June 24th-29th 2025)! Please like and share! For more information: www.ibnsconnect.org/annual-meeting @ibnsconnect.bsky.social #neuroskyence

A beautiful triple from my time in the Rudy lab. A Martinotti neuron with a huge axon and a couple of pyramidal cells #neuroskyence

Reading this paper on crows and geometry www.science.org/doi/full/10.... I wondered what is the analogous of the ventral visual stream in birds? #neuroskyence

This week I am sharing the new paper from #QuattrocoloLab @gquattrocolo.bsky.social on Cajal-Retzius cells. #neuroskyence

Discovered more than 100 years ago, Cajal-Retzius cells hold many interesting secrets! Here a very nice study by @gquattrocolo.bsky.social with a novel intersectional approach that reveals interesting developmental patterns of survival #QuattrocoloLab #neuroskyence

I received an interesting paper to keep me company while patching! #neuroskyence

The specificity of cortico-cortical projections is amazing. In this case a viral injection in barrel gives rise to a column of axons in S2. From my first anterograde experiment some years ago #neuroskyence

I always had trouble with “to wander” and “to wonder” This episode solved it forever thanks to the legacy of the Vandals historyofenglishpodcast.com/2013/06/08/epi…

It was a pleasure to host Carl Petersen for the institute’s seminar series. Great talk and inspiring conversations about sensory physiology, neuroscience and leading a successful laboratory!

Since we are approaching Easter, I am sharing this paper on the resurgent sodium current, which I loved as a PhD student. The work of Dr Raman is really elegant. #neuroskyence

Beautiful projections from motor cortex to barrel cortex captured by rabies virus tracing #neuroskyence

Going down memory lane while visiting the University of Oslo as opponent of a PhD defense. 13 years ago I spent long hours every day patching in this room #neuroskyence

#neuroskyence #epilepsy

I just received this interesting paper for the weekend! #neuroskyence

There are many studies on cell types and then there is the gold standard. Beautiful work on the diversity of VIP interneurons by the Rudy lab! #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interested in complex systems, brain evo-devo, and/or computational approaches to big questions in neuroscience? Check out new opportunities in our lab! 🧠🧬💻🦘🔬🏝️🏄‍♀️😍 Further details and deadlines will be announced soon! #PhD #Postdoc #NeuroJobs

Finally I saw the otters in the Nidelva!
