How does #vision shape spatial maps in the hippocampus? Check out our brand new preprint 👇 As someone who did a PhD on the #hippocampus & postdoc on visual cortex and superior colliculus, it's such a joy to start closing the loop - especially with such a great team! 😊

Post-hoc rationalisation: the brain’s most reliable feature.

Incredibly excited to share the latest published work from the lab: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... Using a range of techniques, including closed-loop optogenetics, we show that the ACC modulates pupil linked arousal in real time. Great summary of our findings here: scienceblog.com/your-brain-h...

Pleased to share that I’ll be part of a fantastic lineup at the BARCCSYN FENS Satellite Meeting on “Multi-scale Dynamics in Decision Making,” taking place on July 5th at IDIBAPS in Barcelona. Details and registration here: lnkd.in/dZ68-Czd

"Major AI models converge as they model reality better... because there's only one reality to model!" towardsdatascience.com/how-major-re... Well, we are only training our AIs on one "reality", which is the human reality (more specifically the 21st century internet user reality 99% of the time...)

this saves soooo much time, thanks @guidomeijer.com

I'm very happy that fairness and reason has prevailed and the ERC has backtracked on this. Thanks to everyone who signed the open letter to the ERC for making this happen 🙏🏻 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/europ...

We are looking for two Research Assistants to conduct experiments and data analyses investigating the neural mechanisms of strategic and social decision-making using head-fixed (1) and freely-moving (1) behavioural paradigms in mice. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Wait what? Is it really so simple?

Bloody hell! It’s the first time I feel envy for imaging vs ephys. Well done Simon and team!

For those interested in the history of psychedelic research… I wrote a narrative piece describing studies of psychedelic effects on serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe, from late 1960s to 1980s: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Canvas: 5-HT receptor antibodies in mouse Does anyone know specific antibodies for 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b receptors shown to work for immunohistochemistry? What we tries were all crap. Any alternatives, e.g. genetically encoded fluorescent fusion proteins?

1/8. New preprint! ✨ How spontaneous is spontaneous behavior? 🧠🐭 We found that whole-brain fUSi signals predicted spontaneous behavioral transitions seconds in advance. Inhibiting one node of this transition-prone state, the medial septum, facilitated switching! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

RA job alert. We are looking for a fearless experimentalist to join our experiments on cortical neuromodulators during visually guided learning, lead by @michael-lynn.bsky.social . Opportunity to learn 2p imaging, design and conduct experiments. RT plz. Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

📣 PhD position in computational & systems neuroscience (Marseille, France). ⏰ Deadline 28 Jan. We are recruiting a PhD student to work on neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in mouse vision, jointly supervised by @ederancz.bsky.social (INMED) and @laurentperrinet.bsky.social (INT).

Coincidence of thalamic HD signal and retrosplenial visual input is detected in the Presubiculum! 🎯 This may be the neuronal basis for landmark anchoring of the HD signal. Pleased to announce the VOR is now available elifesciences.org/articles/92443 Congrats first author Louis Richevaux 🙌

I’m speechless

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

Link to previous preprint thread with more details on the results: bsky.app/profile/alex... Overall, our findings highlight dendrites as a potential substrate for the cognitive rigidity that characterizes autism spectrum disorders. 5/6

Observed at an SfN poster session?

Interested in doing a PhD on how #psychedelics (or other psychoactive substances) impact psychological or social processes @durhampsych.bsky.social ? Have a look at the NINE DTP scheme, now open. DM me if interested.

Choose France for Science! Moved my lab to France 4 years ago — one of my best decisions. Good life ✅ Strong talent pool ✅ Decent funding ✅ Byzantine bureaucracy ✅ (not much worse than UK/US, often better than Southern/Eastern EU) Check out the call & reach out if interested tinyurl.com/5n6u49uv

To my friends I struggle to convince about the lack of our free will. I saw a seagull in the night sky, lit by city lights. For a moment, I thought it was a shooting star. That thought felt spontaneous—but it wasn’t.
