Our paper is now in print in Nature @nature.com. If you're interested in local field potentials, especially #high-gamma activity, and/or #spikes, check it out! TL;DR: High gamma is not mainly filtered spikes, but mainly summed nearby PSPs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Less than two weeks to register for the ion channel meeting. Please RT!

Really excited about this work with the awesome Will de Cothi & @shipleysj.bsky.social, out in Nature Reviews Neuroscience. We propose acetylcholine is an analogue of dopamine — tracking not reward prediction errors but state-transition prediction errors. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41583-026-01058-w

It’s Moussaka for dinner tonight !

A study in Nature Neuroscience shows that core benefits of sleep—reduced local sleep pressure, renormalized synaptic strength and memory consolidation—can be reproduced in awake, behaving mice by inducing sleep-like on/off activity patterns in cortex. #Neuroskyence 🧪

Deadline day! We are almost full... www.biologie.hu-berlin.de/en/groupsite...

Always nice to receive a hard copy of a textbook you contributed to and not always the case I find the cover’s illustration beautiful thanks Nicolas Wanaverbecq, @ianduguid.bsky.social and Annalisa Scimemi for huge editorial work

Be still my beating heart! Super interesting and important. The Mosers show that when rats switch between familiar rooms, each grid module shifts phase independently — and that differential shift across modules drives global remapping in hippocampal place cells. 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.24.677985

Ever wonder how your brain navigates the real world? 🧠 Most spatial navigation studies use flat, 2D mazes. But the real world is hilly, irregular, and bumpy! ⛰️ Our new paper in #ScienceAdvances asked a simple question: How does the brain map uneven terrain? 📄 doi.org/10.1126/scia... 🧵👇️️️ 1/

Story time friends... Ring attractor networks rely on fine-tuned symmetric connectivity. The fly head direction network has ring attractor dynamics but heterogeneous connectivity. How is this possible? 1/🧵 Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nice preprint from Lee lab — evidence for a link between hippocampal replay and planning has always been thin. First clear evidence replay tracks goals several steps ahead, across subtasks, in rats on a sequential working memory task. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.02.691753v1

New method for identifying the fine transcriptomic types of thousands of neurons recorded in vivo!

How does #vision shape spatial maps in the hippocampus? Check out our brand new preprint 👇 As someone who did a PhD on the #hippocampus & postdoc on visual cortex and superior colliculus, it's such a joy to start closing the loop - especially with such a great team! 😊

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

This rarely-seen Glass Octopus was caught on camera. The clear sea creature was filmed by an underwater robot during an expedition off of the Phoenix Islands more than 3,200 miles northeast of Sydney, Australia. Original post

Excited to co-organize a #COSYNE2026 workshop with Marieke Scholvinck (@zeronoiselab.bsky.social) on March 17 in Cascais 🧠🌊 *Inferring neural latent states from behavior* Featuring fantastic speakers across experimental & computational #neuroscience (list below 👇) Hope to see many of you there! 👋

1/7 🧠 My journey into development begins with this work and question: how does the brain's spatial navigation system develop? We found that the neural networks for spatial navigation (tori and rings) are preconfigured and only later anchor gradually to the world with experience! 🧵
