Our paper on foraging is now published in Neuron! Read it here: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... This project was co-led by Michael Bukwich (not on Bluesky) and me, with major contributions from all co-authors. Huge thanks to the whole team!

How is the nervous system organized to coordinate behavior? To approach this massive question, a team led by @asbates.bsky.social, @jasper-tms.bsky.social, @mindyisminsu.bsky.social, & Helen Yang present the BANC: a Brain and Nerve Cord connectome. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧪#Neuroskyence

Public access to the first fly connectome that spans the whole CNS - BANC!: codex.flywire.ai?dataset=banc Different from prior connectomes - it is brain + cord (think spinal cord) We use it to ‘embody’ the system and find it resembles ‘subsumption architecture’ doi.org/10.1101/2025...

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...

Heterogeneous neural tuning is observed all over the brain, but what is it for? For a potential answer, check out our new pre-print at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1..., and @zachcohen1.bsky.social's post for an overview. #neuroskyence #NeuroAI #compneurosky

We have an open PhD position in an exciting @dfg.de - @ageinves.bsky.social project to further develop continuous psychophysics in collaboration with Joan-Lopez Moliner.

Hi folks — What federally-hosted data sets do you use for your research? Please reply below. I'm especially curious about more obscure .gov data sets that might be research critical for you. (And I'm interested to hear about data sets in any domain, not just life sciences!)

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. 🧪

There are few fully-funded PhD positions left for this year’s Theoretical Neuroscience/ Machine learning program at Gatsby! Apply by May 27 and start in September. Please distribute broadly

Jan Drugowitsch (@jdrugowitsch.bsky.social) and I, with our former postdoc Johannes Bill, have written a review covering the classic work as well as more recent work: gershmanlab.com/pubs/Gershma... The last paragraph highlights the prospects for using motion to understand high-level cognition.

I am gobsmacked that this is the response Columbia leadership went with. "Legitimate concerns"?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! This action is illegal. It is being carried out on a transparently fake pretenses. People livelihoods are at risk! WTF are you doing?!?! president.columbia.edu/news/respond...

I just wrote a book about how the type of work @markhisted.org is doing is key to breaking through the bottlenecks holding back new treatments for brain and mental disorders (from Alzheimers to depression). Seeing his work in danger makes me ill, and angry. We must @standupforscience.bsky.social.

WHERE WILL YOU BE ON MARCH 7TH!? Head to www.standupforscience2025.org/local-event-information/ or the link in our bio to find your closest event—or add one if you're hosting one! #standupforscience2025

In times like these it is worth emphasizing that none of this work would have been possible without NIH funding, and the amazing PO's and SRO's working there.

Apparently, I got listed as a member of the program committee for various conferences without being asked, and now get papers assigned to review. They all seems to relate to the MIR labs (http://www.mirlabs.org/). Does anyone else get spammed by them?

In our contribution to this issue - a fun collaboration with @JP_NOEL, @BillScientific, Haoran Ding, @johnjvastola, Greg DeAngelis, and @AngelakiLab - we explored causal inference about self- and object-motion in closed-loop navigation. Check it out at https://t.co/aFFQgRh2nn https://t.co/ouGX2vLpKD

Check out our brief summary of our work "Bayesian inference in ring attractor networks", recently published in PNAS, at https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2210622120 https://twitter.com/harvardbrainsci/status/1674772945841844224

Finally out in PNAS: great work by @ankutschi in an exciting collaboration with @RachelIreneWils and @MelBasnak, showing that canonical ring attractor networks can perform Bayesian inference if they are slow. Check it out! https://twitter.com/ankutschi/status/1628467331172114435

Did you ever wonder how latent neural manifolds relate to the statistics of neural population activity? Go check out this excellent work by @johnjvastola and @zachacohen on latent probabilistic manifold discovery at this Saturday's @neur_reps workshop at #NeurIPS2022! https://t.co/a8CgUnnkbF

I finally caved and created a Mastodon account: @[email protected]. I will keep a dual identity on Twitter for the time being.

Given the potential Twitter collapse, Mastodon seems to be the currently best alternative (however problematic), but requires choosing a specific server. So, Twitter/Mastodon folks, what's the best server for computational neuroscience?
