New paper in Current Biology from the Hikosaka lab and @nienborglab.bsky.social at the NEI, collaborating with us. First author Xuefei Yu @xuefeiyu.bsky.social applied a host of optogenetic techniques to dissect out the functions of a pathway from frontal cortex to brainstem in behaving primates.

Happy to share this new paper from the lab led by Angus Chapman, now out in PLoS Biology! It presents an integrated spatiotemporal normalization model for continuous vision. @afchapman.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Great to see this paper on sensory expectations in motor control from @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social and @andpru.bsky.social out in Nature today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience 🧪

From glowing neurons to newborn memories, here are the most fascinating brain discoveries of 2025

Are authors fairly judged by assessing the #journals in which their work is published? @bihutchins.bsky.social &co reveal that most influential papers are published in lower tier journals, and more authors would be better recognized with #ArticleLevelMetrics #ALMs @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oV58Ed

From Sam McDougle's love of music has sprung a focus on how people learn and get better at motor skills – an area he sees as sometimes neglected in cognitive neuroscience. Read a new Q&A with him, a preview of his #CNS2026 YIA talk: www.cogneurosociety.org/taking-actio... @actlab.bsky.social

We tend to think of neurons as either excitatory or inhibitory, but some neurons chemically inhibit their downstream targets while electrically exciting their neighbors. What is gained by having an inhibitory neuron excite its neighbor? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share a new article, led by Barnes Jannuzi. Here we tried to pinpoint something about visual familiarity that isn't reflected in visual cortex via something putatively hippocampal. Nope! Per the theme of this era, the brain is not so simple. /1 www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Congratulations to my student @renilmathew.bsky.social (Renil Mathew) on receiving the Dr. Tutis Vilis Graduate Award in Neuroscience. As a long time friend and colleague of Tutis, this award really brings a tear to my eye.

The York University (Toronto) Faculty of Health seeks a Tier 1 Canada Research appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level, in the area of 'Implementation Science'. (Broadly, this means interdisciplinary health research with applications). For details, see: www.yorku.ca/vpepc/facult...

Investigating individual-specific topographic organization has traditionally been a resource-intensive and time-consuming process. But what if we could map visual cortex organization in thousands of brains? Here we offer the community with a toolbox that can do just that! tinyurl.com/deepretinotopy

For the oculomotor nerds out there… we’re excited to share our paired papers on precerebellar circuitry! These two studies look at how internuclear pathways talk to the cerebellum and what that means for eye movement control. 👀🧠 #neuroskyence #science

The hippocampus is not a library, it is a simulation engine. HPC is known for storing maps of the environment but not so known for generating planned trajectories. This paper proposes that recurrence in CA3 is crucial for planning. A🧵with my toy model and notes: #neuroskyence #compneuro #NeuroAI

In the end, even basic brain connectivity is different between rodents and primates, with primates having more specialized, sparsely connected brain regions. academic.oup.com/cercor/artic...

Research in primate brains has been essential for the development of brain-computer interfaces and artificial neural networks. New funding and policy changes put future such advances at risk, write Cory Miller, @movshon.bsky.social and Doris Tsao. #neuroskyence bit.ly/47MXYLH
