DEADLINE REMINDER! Abstract submissions for #ASSC29 in Santiago close on February 12, 2026 (11:59 PM PT). Don’t miss it! theassc.org/assc-29/subm... @theassc.bsky.social

📄Very happy to share our new pre-print!! 🧠 We introduce a homeostatic inhibitory plasticity rule into the Dynamic Mean Field (DMF) model which stabilizes firing rates and expands the model’s dynamical repertoire—for example, enabling slow-wave activity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 1/5

Had a blast hosting @tomdonoghue.bsky.social at our lab in Santiago. We went full aperiodic mode, with @gnboncompte.bsky.social . Very cool collab ideas!! Thanks Tom!!

So happy to see this one out!

Postdoc position: our team is looking for a postdoctoral colleague interested in developing and testing theories of brainstem function in AD using fMRI/PET. The Martinos Center / MGH in Boston is a superb place to work. Reach out if you have any questions. Come and join us! 🎉🔵

Very proud of our PhD-student Yuliya Patsyuk's first publication: Locus coeruleus-entorhinal cortex tract integrity is linked to plasma tau and GFAP: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🔵 🎉

Atentos a esta iniciativa que estamos levantando desde Latinoamérica!!

Adaptive learning is coordinated across behaviour, time and neurobiology (from synapses and dendrites, to astrocytes and the systems level). If you’ve ever wondered how noradrenaline helps shape these multiscale learning processes, you might like this: www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°! In @currentbiology.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I show how these images—known as “visual anagrams”—can help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science. bit.ly/45BVnCZ

💤🧠🧪 New article! 🧪🧠💤 After years of effort led by @qualiastructure.bsky.social (Nao Tsuchiya and William Wong), Jenny Windt, Katja Valli, Valdas Noreika and @rherzoga.bsky.social, the Dream database is now published in @natcomms.nature.com **A dream EEG and mentation database** rdcu.be/eAwni

Position open for a neuroimaging focused postdoc to come work with us in Sydney Feel free to get in touch for a chat if you have any questions about it :) usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/en-GB/USYD_E...

Are you interested in our work on complex physical systems and applications (to neural systems)? Wanna join us in Sydney? 🐨 🦘 We have two open positions: 1. Postdoc position: usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNA... 2. Fully-funded PhD position: www.sydney.edu.au/scholarships...

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/community/ha...

Total disaster for the #drosophila community if flybase disappears

📜[PUBLICATION ALERT]📜 I had the honour to be co-first author of this huge effort to advance dream science and our understanding of conscious experience during sleep. In Nature Communications rdcu.be/eAwni. @naotsuchiya.bsky.social @thomasandrillon.bsky.social #sleep #dreams #EEG

I'm starting a series of essays that view neuroscience through the lens of Baudrillard's concept of hyperreality. Here's the first part: yohanjohn.substack.com/p/neuroscien... #neuroscience

Wonderful Keynote by @sharnajamadar.bsky.social at #OHBM2025 @ohbmofficial.bsky.social

Today is publication day! A new edition of Francisco J. Varela's (long hard-to-obtain) 1979 classic Principles of Biological Autonomy in a new annotated edition by Ezequiel Di Paolo and Evan Thompson, with a Foreword by Amy Cohen Varela. mitpress.mit.edu/978026255140...

Can an LLM system become conscious? This question has generated significant debate and too much hype. Here's a paper from @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social on what neuroscience has to say about that shine-lab.org/wp-content/u...

🎨🧑‍🎨 Looking for a tool to visualize subcortical/thalamic data in 2D? Check out this python-based package I put together (subcortex-visualization on PyPI), plus a guide for creating your own custom atlas meshes and vector graphics! All feedback/tips welcome 😊 anniegbryant.github.io/subcortex_vi...

@christopherjwhyte.bsky.social and I introduce a novel data-driven framework to evaluate >200 connectivity-based neural correlates of consciousness! Results are used to quantitatively compare predictions from neurodynamical models tailored to theoretic predictions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In A History of Bodies, Brains, and Minds, Francisco Aboitiz provides a brief history of life, the brain, and cognition, from the earliest living beings to our own species. direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon...

Check out the latest news on funding, upcoming advanced neuroscience courses, new job opportunities and more in our newly launched Early-Career Neuroscientists Resource Center: www.thetransmitter.org/early-career... #neuroskyence

📣🎉 Excited to share work co-led with @aditijh.bsky.social, developing a data-driven selection technique for overlapping community detection algorithms, applied to the human structural connectome! 📣🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint! 🧠🧬 genetic roots of brain functional organization in 30,000+ individuals by superstar @wanb.bsky.social et al. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

🎉 Exciting news! Our symposium with Enzo Tagliazucchi, "Computational Models integrating Neurobiology & Social Determinants of Brain Health," is accepted for #OHBM2025! 🌎✈️ From South America to Brisbane—thrilled to bring diverse perspectives to global Neuroscience!

(1/18) Now out on BioRxiv‼️ Reproducible Brain Charts: An open data resource for mapping brain development and its associations with mental health | doi.org/10.1101/2025... Funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... "What do neural travelling waves tell us about information flow?" A new preprint is out, with Antoine Grimaldi, Fredo Chavane and @martinavinck.bsky.social

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Happy to share our recent work "Aperiodic exponent of brain field potentials is dependent on the frequency range it is estimated" This relation was consistent across Specparam and IRASA estimations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thanks to our team Martin, Vicente @medelero.bsky.social, JP and Tomas

Our latest in PNAS! 🎉 ATP-sensitive potassium channels alter glycolytic flux to modulate cortical activity and sleep Take home message? KATP channels are metabolic sensors under circadian control that gate glycolytic flux, arousal, & sleep/wake transitions. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

What separates life from death? Mary Shelley once wrote: "To understand life, we first need to understand death". In this movie, we see how a single-celled organism dies. The same matter in both pictures. It is not the same state or the same integrated complexity. youtube.com/watch?v=4bj6...
