It is a true pleasure to take part at this year’s Konstanz school on collective behavior and talk about our theoretical framework of computing with transients. @mpinb.mpg.de

Exciting news! @kerrlab.bsky.social is part of a new #MaxPlanckCenter with @mpi-mr.bsky.social and the Institute for Basic Science at Yonsei University in Seoul. We aim to visualize and influence cellular processes deep in human tissue — in a targeted way, without causing damage. Stay tuned ! 🌟

Excited to be part of “Unifying theories in high-dimensional biophyics” symposium @ICTS in Bangalore. Looking forward to learn about novel theoretical descriptions from molecular to behavior of ecologies! @mpinb.mpg.de

🚀 Big news from our @monikakscholz.bsky.social lab! We’re part of DynOrg, a new @dfg.de-funded Research Unit exploring how #GPCR signaling coordinates organ function & animal behavior — from heartbeat to foraging. 🧠💓 #FOR #neurotransmitters

Despite the trillions of synapses in the brain, there is sparse connectivity between neurons. This may be a feature, not a flaw, per new research at @mpinb.mpg.de‬. A study finds that “sparse connectivity” of neurons may contribute to more efficient info-processing in the brain: bit.ly/4kO1TMY

We had a privilege to have Chittaranjan Hens from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India, visiting for a day and telling us about the origins of instability in dynamical systems on undirected networks! @mpinb.mpg.de

Paper alert! Check out the new publication by our Cellular Computations and Learning Lab! 👉 journals.aps.org/pre/abstract...

In our evening`s session, Monika Scholz from the @mpinb.mpg.de talks about her research on the foraging behavior of a predatory nematode Pristionchus pacificus and compares the underlying neuronal mechanisms with the ones of C. elegans. @monikakscholz.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are at #DDays2025 ! Join us at our 3!! talks on multistability and metastability, today, on Thursday and Friday! @mpinb.mpg.de

🚀 New Neurovoyagers episode just dropped! It's been such a great time chatting with ‪@monikakscholz.bsky.social about worms, neural bottlenecks, open science, and the joy of building stuff that works 🧠🔧 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/1r2a...

Cells use more than signal strength to decide their fate—they "listen" to the tempo of signaling. Check out this work by our Cellular Computations and Learning Lab introducing signaling homeorhesis, a concept where dynamic signal patterns guide cell decisions. #CellSignaling #cellfate

(1/3) Paper alert! 🧠 What does it take a 🐀 to move a single whisker? More than we expected! Research from our In Silico Brain Sciences Lab and University of Pittsburgh (Pitt Med) shows: ✅ a diverse set of brain areas is involved ✅ movements even originate from areas linked to sensing and cognition.

New #iBOTS Workshop "Intro Neural Spike Analysis in Python" 📅June 11-13 Dr. Ole Bialas Open to All @unibonn.bsky.social @uniklinikkoeln.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social @mpinb.mpg.de @fz-juelich.de Learn how to process & analyze neural spiking data! Register: uni-bonn.zoom-x.de/meeting/regi...

🧠💤 Glia Regulate Sleep Through Brain Metabolism! A new study in Drosophila shows that glial cells monitor brain CO₂ and pH levels to regulate rest and sleep – revealing a key link between metabolism and sleep need. Activating glia can even induce rest in flies. 🪰🛌 (1/2) @natneuro.nature.com

It is a true honor and privilege to host Vijay Balasubramanian @upenn.edu , a distinguished scholar and a profound intellectual, at our Neuroscience seminar series today. We are enjoying a day of thought-provoking conversations that inspire! @mpinb.mpg.de

🧠 Interested in a postdoc in neuroscience? Our Department of Computational Neuroethology is hiring for two exciting projects: 🔬 Retinal circuitry evolution 🐟 Mechanistic cognition in Danionella cerebrum mpinb.mpg.de/en/research-... 📅 Apply by May 13 via the Max Planck #PostdocProgram #Neuroethology

We had a great time at #PostdocDay2025! Lots of inspiring chats at our booth and a full room during our talk on the role of networking, given by @anjaguenther.bsky.social 🎤🙌. Big thanks to @unibonn.bsky.social & @bora-network.bsky.social. Looking forward to next time! #ResearchCareers #Networking

👩‍🔧👩‍🔬 From biology to engineering, toolmaking & lab tech – we opened our labs for #GirlsDay on April 3! Huge thanks to our curious participants and to our helpers for sparking excitement in STEM! 💡🔬✨ Here’s to the next generation of female scientists! 💡🔬✨ #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInScience #FutureScientists

🧠 Our group leader Aneta [email protected] is giving an invited talk today at the Spatiotemporal Dynamics in Neural Networks symposium at the Fields Institute, Toronto 🇨🇦. Enjoy! 🔍 Curious to learn more about the Koseska Lab and our research? Dive in here 👉 mpinb.mpg.de/en/research-...

Hey Göttingen Meeting attendees! Don’t miss the inspiring talks from our group leaders and faculty members of our IMPRS for Brain and Behavior graduate program. Enjoy! 🧠✨

🚀 Paper Alert! 🚀 More connections = better learning? Not so fast! 🤯 Our latest research from the In Silico Brain Sciences Lab challenges this assumption: What if the brain’s sparse connectivity is actually an optimization? 🧠✨ (1/3)

Happy to welcome Kalel Rossi, a new postdoc in the group, Prayas Chakrabarty, Master student, and Abbie Chen, student assistant! #CellularComputationsAndLearning @mpinb.mpg.de

Have you ever wondered what is on the surface of a #nematode like #Celegans? …it turns out they are surprisingly greasy little critters and covered in many different lipids. To read more about this, check out the excellent paper from the Chauhan lab which we were very happy to be a small part of.

(1/3) Paper out in Current Biology!👏 How do predators use their vision to both navigate through the terrain whilst tracking prey running for its life? Read more about it here: mpinb.mpg.de/en/research-... @kerrlab.bsky.social @mpfneuro.bsky.social Picture by Charles G. Summers, Jr.

New Video Alert! How do tiny fruit flies ( #Drosophila melanogaster) make life-or-death flight decisions in milliseconds? Our latest video explains the key role of DNp03, a #neuron that helps flies execute rapid turns (saccades). 🧐👇 Watch here: youtu.be/U11baSEQ_uY

On Monday, more than 30 students from the local universities visited our institute, learned about our research mission and engaged with our scientists during discussion cafés. We had a fantastic time! Thanks to everyone who contributed. We are already looking forward to next time #NextStopJob
