Join us for the Honorary SWEBAGS Webinar 2026 on Fri Feb 27, 11:30 AM (Stockholm), with Professors Glenda Halliday and Maria Grazia Spillantini. No registration needed; link shared closer to the date. #BasalGanglia #Neuroscience swebags.ebrains.se/events/honor...

Please share: I am recruiting a PhD student to join my lab in Oslo! For this project, we will investigate the role of striatal interneurons during action selection, using a combination of behavior, in vivo voltage imaging, and slice ephys. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... #NeuroJobs #NeuroSkyence

A study in Nature Neuroscience maps spontaneous and choice activity across mouse prefrontal cortex. The activity maps aligned with intrinsic connectivity rather than anatomical subregions, suggesting that connectivity, not cytoarchitecture, organizes prefrontal function. #Neuroskyence 🧪

Activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex in mice, presented in @natneuro.nature.com today, challenge classical descriptions of the brain. The new maps reveal functional territories that differ from traditional, tissue-based maps. #Neuroscience #Brain 🧪 news.ki.se/new-brain-ma...

CRN Teams Cragg & Jakobsson's new #preprint maps the cell-type–specific transcriptional landscape of the parkinsonian striatum in mouse models and human Parkinson's stages, revealing widespread gene expression changes and resilient neuron subtypes amid progressive dopamine loss 🧪 🔗 bit.ly/4ju4MmS

The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say. Read the full opinion piece in @cp-neuron.bsky.social: spkl.io/63322AbxpA#microbiome @wiringthebrain.bsky.social, @statsepi.bsky.social, & @deevybee.bsky.social

Researchers at KI and @yale.edu have created a multidimensional, molecular map of how the mouse #brain develops after birth and how it reacts to #inflammation. The study is published in @nature.com. 🧪 #neuroscience news.ki.se/scientists-m...
