🚨Another paper alert! 🚨 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Do you perform neural implant procedures? Develop new neural implants? Train people to do neural implants? This paper describes our lab’s approach to make custom ~whole-head simulators that can help in those tasks.

We’ve recently updated our collaborative open-access book, “Neural Networks in Cognitive Science”, adding a few new authors, chapters, and lots of content. downloads.jeffyoshimi.net/NeuralNetwor...

My fantastic department at CU Boulder is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor! This is a broad search spanning nearly all areas of biology. Applications are due Nov 13, 2025. Feel free to reach out to me with questions, and please share widely. jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta...

Out today at Neuron, our experiments show that frontal cortical representation of economic variables is jointly determined by spatial organization and downstream connectivity of neurons, revealing a structured, multi-scale code for economic variables. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

I wish we'd still make real-life models of our preferred cellular structures www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/biom...

With our mobile Neuropixel rig we can record anywhere in the building. Even the hallway!

Come be my newest colleague! Scripps neuro is an energetic and supportive department, and uniquely benefits from proximity to our intimidatingly awesome chem and drug discovery programs. Happy to chat about my experiences here so far!

Hot take…asking whether mechanisms relevant for flies remembering odors aligns with those underlying working memory in primates is silly. Mushroom bodies and lateral prefrontal cortex aren’t even close to an example of convergent evolution. bsky.app/profile/blue...

Great body of work led by @ppiantad.bsky.social First use of PdCO in the wild to perform closed-loop pre-choice modulation 🤩 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🎇 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...

Hi! Does anyone here have experience doing neuropixels recordings from young mice (before p28)? What methods do you use? Headbar + record the same day?

Lab’s latest is out in Imaging Neuroscience, led by Kirsten Peterson: “Regularized partial correlation provides reliable functional connectivity estimates while correcting for widespread confounding”, where we demonstrate a major improvement to standard fMRI functional connectivity (correlation) 1/n

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...

This is an exquisite demonstration of using intracranial recordings in humans to validate our findings that amygdala neurons encode the value of exploring in NHPs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How can your AI be superhuman if it can't even beat a mouse?Lots of updates for this 2025 NeurIPS competition. Get your submission in! robustforaging.github.io Nov. 1 is the deadline. Please share widely. @garymarcus.bsky.social @dcower.bsky.social @tyrellturing.bsky.social @rowantmc.bsky.social

Very relevant for the downstream applicability of connectomics research: www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... #neuroscience 🧪

Happy to have some good science news - our new study with @aqperkins.bsky.social is out in @plosbiology.org! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

In neuroscience, we often try to understand systems by analyzing their representations — using tools like regression or RSA. But are these analyses biased towards discovering a subset of what a system represents? If you're interested in this question, check out our new commentary! Thread:

The butterfly-like/four circular labeling in the mediodorsal (top two) and submedius (bottom two) thalamic nuclei when retrograde tracers are infused in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats Bonus: midline labeling are from retrograde tracers placed in the nucleus accumbens (nAc)

Examples of epifluorescence vs. confocal images of the BLA and axons leaving the BLA - note the lack of labeling in central amygdala (CeA)

Methods in the Philosophy of Science: A User's Guide is now a real, live book. My chapter offers an appraisal of philosophy of science in its engagement with applied mathematics. With immense gratitude for the vision and execution of @phieveigl.bsky.social and @adrian-currie.bsky.social sky.social.

"people use it very differently".. this applies to so many concepts in neuroscience! We (@irinapochinok.bsky.social and Simon Musall) put together a #BernsteinConference Workshop on exactly this and @juangallego.bsky.social will be one of our speakers! @bernsteinneuro.bsky.social shorturl.at/4kV00

What killed the competitive renewal at NIH? drugmonkey.wordpress.com/2025/07/31/w...

Very excited about this work and very proud of @xiongbowu.bsky.social who did it all: Based on 4 independent data sets (incl. EEG/iEEG, eye tracking, gaze manipulation & memory), we advocate for a new perspective on the function of the brain's dominant rhythm 🧠 Check Xiongbo's thread for more 👇

New paper from the lab, from Jeremy Biane and team, out today, characterizing the principles of stimulus feature coding in populations of ventral CA1 neurons.

How do animals decide if they should forage for food or stay home to take care of newborn offspring? Whose needs come first? For my PhD work now out in Nature, we examined how hunger and parenting neurons interact and are reshaped postpartum in mice 🧵⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW

Hey, it's out! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Aligning Big Brains and Atlases, ABBA in short, is published in Cell Reports @cp-cellreports.bsky.social . @biancasilvalab.bsky.social's lab added an analysis pipeline on top of it (BraiAn) and did all the relevant biological work. What is it ? Short thread:

When patch clamping go for the bouba neurons, avoid the kiki.

🚨Preprint!🚨 So excited to share my 1st major study as a postdoc at @holmeslab-bhi.bsky.social!🤘 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Using a transdiagnostic framework, we found that brain network dynamics were able to discriminate individualized psychiatric symptom profiles with high accuracy 🧵1/9👇

Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates. Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. 🧪

Check out the new Handbook of Electrophysiology that covers all kinds of ways to record activity! Great working with @drewbheadley.bsky.social on standard equipment you need for in vivo physiology. Edited by @scimemia.bsky.social @ianduguid.bsky.social and @nwanaverbecq.bsky.social

New standard electrophysiology methods text just released! Proud to have contributed a chapter with @elikhtik.bsky.social www.worldscientific.com/worldscibook...

🚨📃New Wassum Lab Paper📃🚨 Out today, @jackiegio.bsky.social discovered brain pathways that support agency and habit and how chronic stress disrupts them to rob of us our agency and cause us to form rigid habits 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Free full text: rdcu.be/eaxEv

Applying deep learning and generative algorithms to design bespoke ligand- or voltage-gated ion channels would open up fundamentally new treatments. Exciting to see this field start to take shape. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to see these announced, but surprised that they use lasers and waveguides, and not uLEDs. Probably offers higher power, but I am worried about tangling of the electrical and optical cables during long recording sessions.
