I’m also on the job market this year — happy to connect with anyone interested in hippocampal computation, comparative neurophysiology, or collaborative directions

How do brain areas control each other? 🧠🎛️ ✨In our NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight paper, we introduce a data-driven framework to answer this question using deep learning, nonlinear control, and differential geometry.🧵⬇️

📍Excited to share that our paper was selected as a Spotlight at #NeurIPS2025! arxiv.org/pdf/2410.03972 It started from a question I kept running into: When do RNNs trained on the same task converge/diverge in their solutions? 🧵⬇️

The first of a series of papers to come on the very persistent effects of “temporary” noise-induced hearing loss, and its unique aspects in primates. I’ve never been more proud. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Everyone thinks the Thorlabs t-shirts are the best swag at SfN; the real answer is it’s the Neuropixels 2.0 keychain! Pairs perfectly with my Allen CCF 1:1 mouse brain (circa 2015).

Thanks, Adrian! I’m excited to be starting a lab at the University of Utah (theluolab.org)! We’re recruiting at all levels. If you’re excited about neural computation, large-scale multi-region recordings, and machine learning, let’s talk! And yes, the mountains are as incredible as they say!

Networking is important

After nearly a decade in academia, I am thrilled to share my next chapter: I am joining IBM as an AI Architect in the new Core AI group. We are building an AgentOps platform to observe, evaluate, and optimize enterprise AI agents and we are hiring. DM me if interested.

Research on brain disorders may slow as young neuroscientists struggle to find jobs and research grants. n.pr/4pgmAna

Chand lab is at SfN! (And I’m looking for postdocs on cells types and dynamics; reach out if you want to chat!)

First published paper from the depaqlab, led by the supernatural @ryguy.io! Glad to add a new software resource to the neuro community for fitting SSMs, including hierarchical models and switching GLMs, and many others! If you love Julia and SSMs, this is for you!

Miller Lab at #SFN2025. Come by and say hi ya. #Neuroscience

Stop by our posters tomorrow afternoon at #SFN25!! #sfn2025 @sfn.org #neuroscience

Hearing a rumor that NIH/HHS may now plan to retaliate against other Bethesda Declaration signers. I am one, but it’s not about me: we have been speaking out because of the ongoing damage to US medical research, cancer and Alzheimer’s research. As @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social put well: 1/

According to a source, Jenna Norton, who led a letter criticizing Trump's decimation of the NIH (see below), has been placed on administrative leave. She's the first at NIH to be put on leave, joining EPA officials who criticized Trump policies. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Happy to share this profile that Georgia Tech wrote up about the role that scholarships and education played in my path to being an interdisciplinary scientist. My life would be very different without the support and generosity of many people. news.em.gatech.edu/2025/11/13/h...

Our next paper on comparing dynamical systems (with special interest to artificial and biological neural networks) is out!! Joint work with @annhuang42.bsky.social , as well as @satpreetsingh.bsky.social , @leokoz8.bsky.social , Ila Fiete, and @kanakarajanphd.bsky.social : arxiv.org/pdf/2510.25943

If you will be at #SfN25 next week, please join us for a professional development workshop ‘Navigating your career roadmap in a changing landscape’ on Monday from 12-2. Led by THE Dr. Michelle Jones-London. Please share with your lab and anyone you think would benefit!

Still think brain regions don’t exist? That everything is everywhere? That cell types don’t matter and that everything is a dynamical phase portrait? Wrong. Interconnected brain modules exist at the level of fine grained transcriptomics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨Job alert🚨 The lab has up to *3 postdoc openings* for comp systems neuroscientists interested in describing and manipulating neural population dynamics mediating behaviour This is part of a collaborative ARIA grant "4D precision control of cortical dynamics" euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/383909

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real: I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job! I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗

So happy to see Morgane Butler, a former and brilliant undergrad student in the lab, publishing her PhD work. Looks super interesting. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited to share my second postdoc, now out in Science Advances! We used targeted snRNA-seq to profile four major subnuclei of the primate across three species (including humans). 1/13 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

New work from Yoshi Kajikawa and myself! 🐒 🦻 We measured sound envelope encoding in different cortical layers across the nonhuman primate auditory cortical hierarchy for the first time. Thread below.

#Cosyne2026 is now open for business! Show us what you got both for the main meeting & workshop proposals 🧠🥳🧠🥳🧠

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...

ATTN🚨: I will be looking for PhD students through NYU's Center for Data Science PhD program this year. Applicants should have an interest in either NeuroAI (specifically biological attention or AI interpretability) or ML for Remote Sensing. Visit my lab website for more info: lindsay-lab.github.io

🚨New paper🚨 Neural manifolds went from a niche-y word to an ubiquitous term in systems neuro thanks to many interesting findings across fields. But like with any emerging term, people use it very differently. Here, we clarify our take on the term, and review key findings & challenges rdcu.be/ex8hW

Are you allowed another tweeprint for a revised preprint? Anyways, it's been a year since we first put out PhysMAP (I also do [many] monkey experiments!) and thanks to some excellent reviews + additional co-authors, we're really excited about where we've landed! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy Friday! The female adult fly brain-and-nerve-cord (BANC) connectome is now LIVE! Explore the data here: codex.flywire.ai?dataset=banc Check out the preprint here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Amidst everything, the lab's first preprint is out! It's just a methods paper, no scientific results (yet!), but it's still great to see it all pulled together. We hope that these open-source behavioral tools will be useful for others!

A dream coming true. Read this great thread by Ralph focusing on our study of New York Rats. Look at those cute NYC rats running around :D @cbehav.bsky.social
