What if arrhythmia care moved from detecting events to anticipating risk? I spoke with Jodie Elrod and the EP Lab Digest team about how cardiovascular digital twins could inform prediction and personalized decisions.

Snowy Chapel Hill twilight

Pro tip before Chapel Hill snow days - stock up on Sunrise Biscuits ahead of time, make a different breakfast sandwich each snowy day

CLOSING SOON: Applications for Group Leader roles at our Janelia Research Campus close Feb. 3! Have original, transformative ideas for experimental approaches in imaging, molecular engineering, protein chemistry, mass spectrometry, & beyond? Learn more: janelia.org/groupleader 🧪

Great news for our collective sanity 😐

Excited to share our open-access work exploring a different approach to treating multiple sclerosis: inducing antigen-specific immune tolerance rather than broadly suppressing the immune system. Pub: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Substack: go.unc.edu/SStStiepelMS

And that's only intramural 😔

we're hiring! looking for a systems neuroscientist with extracellular ephys experience please share! link below, feel free to DM with questions

This is such a cool idea! Not long term "networks" of young profs that create and cement in in-groups and out-groups, but summer schools, tailored to the acute needs of the young PI. Transient, but tailored, tidal and totally timeous, too. Terrific. Try today!

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Thus far, engineering has outpaced theory in the science of intelligence. But Tomaso Poggio is hopeful that theories can catch up. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

Was a honor to give this SfN Special Lecture & share 10 yrs of work from the lab on its 10th anniversary! Thankful to the incredible lab members, collaborators & participant volunteers who made this work possible. Link to video recording here👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVhD...

My department, Duke Neurobiology, is searching for a new chair. Ad below. Come work with me, @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social @ennatsew.bsky.social @jorggrandl.bsky.social @jnklab.bsky.social @sbilbo.bsky.social @neurocircuits.bsky.social and many other amazing folks! @dukemedschool.bsky.social

Keeping the head steady during walking is critical for stable vision and posture - how is it accomplished at the level of motor control? Postdoc Ruihan Wei shows that this fundamental behavior results from context-sensitive neck muscle coordination in macaques. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The search for a new Chair of Duke Neurobiology is kicking off! Ad below. I've lived all over the country, but I'm glad I put my roots down here. Great people, great school, great area to live. Feel free to DM with any questions.

Come join us. Western University invites applications from outstanding early career investigators for a full-time probationary faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of neural circuits in NHPs. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

How can ASNR's Virtual Mentorship Program help you in your career? Dr. Bobby Charalambous shares his experience with the program, both as a mentee and mentor, in a new blog article! 🧠🔄 🧠📈 www.asnr.com/files/ASNR_B... Applications are open now for our next cohort: www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in...

Reminder that this job is open! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Deadline is February 20th.

Happy 2026! Good reminder to question everything you think you see this coming year.

I definitely didn’t just scrape the web to get the h-index and total citation count as of 12/30/2025 for 319 living and dead nonhuman primate researchers to get a sense of publication metrics by rank on tenure-track.

New paper from the lab: "Asynchronous firing and off states in working memory maintenance" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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.

Look who's finally on Bluesky! Welcome Hendrikje (and lab). @nienborglab.bsky.social Let's get her follower count up. 🙂

If you're (1) into nhp neurophysiology and/or biological motor control, (2) a foreign big shot and (3) interested in moving here, please reach out -- this new program looks extremely attractive (min. $8M over 8y)! www.uwo.ca/research/can...

Seriously. This is gross.

Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

NHP neuroscience faculty position ALERT!!!

🧠 We're hiring! 🧠 Are you passionate about neuroscience and education? Join our faculty at UNC Chapel Hill to inspire and teach the next generation of neuroscientists. Apply now: 🔗​​https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/308455 #Neuroscience #TeachingJobs #AcademicJobs #HigherEd

Spread the word: I'm looking to hire a postdoc to explore the concept of attention (as studied in psych/neuro, not the transformer mechanism) in large Vision-Language Models. More details here: lindsay-lab.github.io/2025/12/08/p... #MLSky #neurojobs #compneuro

Where are you on this scale? I'd say I'm a 2.

Evidence for corollary discharge projections sent out from motor nuclei in primates! A rare find. The pathway targets cerebellar areas, likely for horizontal eye movement control. Great work @bohlen.bsky.social and Paul May and colleagues!

who wants to come to Korea to do some blindsight NHP fMRI?

I feel like a lot of young scientists in our field don't know about Neurotree. It's a fascinating resource and it's up to all of us to keep it up to date. Check it out if you haven't seen it before! And update it for yourself and others as career stages change. 🤓

🚨 THRILLED to share Northeastern University is hiring a new Director for our human Siemens Prisma 3T MRI Center (Associate or Full Professor levels) who will join us as faculty in our Institute for Cognitive and Brain Health! Please share widely! northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/...

Not directly related to @neurograce.bsky.social’s comment here but to the thread: I am baffled by the number of people who seem to think the claim is that all brain computation is low-d vs. the *emprical* finding that task-related neural activity is (linear) low-d in many (not all) cases.

Come on Konrad, why do you cave so easily? Here, let me try it for you: 1. Spikes are (to good approximation) the only events that matter. 2. Extracellular fields are one way by which spikes interact with each other. 1/2

Re-upping this - Neuropeeps! We have a TT Job in my wonderful department at Brandeis! First consideration to applications received by Dec 15 (but why wait?) www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Siembra NC has a map with credible reports of ICE activity in the Triangle (and Charlotte). It initially loads Charlotte but you can scroll east. Scary but important information ojonc.org

The fight has come to NC, and it just hit close to home. Our daughter teaches in Durham public schools and she said almost all of the Latinx kids are not in school today. ICE is targeting everyone who "looks Hispanic", citizen or not. I am even more angry today-kids need to go to school!

Heads up, Raleigh area www.wral.com/news/local/f...

We have two SfN presentations this morning, featuring star grad student 1st authors Grace DiRisio and Sylvia Durian. Cheng Xue is an author on both & not only is he an incredible scientist, he's also an incredible advertiser/communicator; check out his cartoons! x.com/_chengxue/st...

Good morning #SfN25! Looking for some posters to see this afternoon? Check out two by our lab: GG15 and HH1 🧠🧪👩🏻‍🔬
