📣 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.

Are you interested in visuo-motor mismatch and serotonin? Come see @norambr.bsky.social featuring mice spinning in VR at R16! #SfN2025 #vestibulo-VR #serotonin #predictive_processing

Our lab digs into how serotonin tunes prediction errors and eye movements — with custom tools and curious mice.We got 2 posters at #SfN2025, Tue AM (C5) and Wed PM (R16). Recruiting PhD students & postdocs in sunny Marseille. Come chat about neuromodulators, tinkering, or free will and intuition.

Great projects, great environment.

Independent NeuroScience Services INSS was registered as a company on 14th November 2016, which means it's our 9th birthday today! As a birthday present we've treated ourselves to an SfN exhibitor booth for the first time ever. Come and say hello at Booth #3327

Hear BrainGlobe core developer speak about the project in this keynote lecture. 16:00 EST

Can you guess grant deadlines and SfN dates from this graph?

For the first time ever, INSS will have a booth at SfN this year. Please come and say hello at Booth #3327 Would be lovely to see some familiar faces!

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.

Andrew, honey. The scientists are also talking trash behind your back.

🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.

1. Project on Computational Neuroscience / NeuroAI PhD, supervised jointly with Caswell Barry @caswell.bsky.social Here we want to build NeuroAI models that transform visual information to spatial navigation information. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Our first paper on altered states of consciousness induced by #breathwork is officially out now! It addresses four big questions: (1) Can simple breathing alter your consciousness? Most definitely! And in very similar ways to psychedelics! (1/4) www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Anyone looking for a PhD in NeuroAI (models of the visual system to spatial system)? @amansaleem.bsky.social and I are looking for someone to start in October. More details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Get in touch with either of us if you’ve got questions!

I grew up in communist Romania and now follow developments in fascist Hungary (happy to explain if you disagree). The swift rise of self-censorship—in both actions and words—signals civil society's decline. Traveling to the US to exchange ideas is essential, given the minimal risk of being detained.

We are super happy to present our first preprint - the effect of our Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour Workshop - where we look more critically at the term "naturalistic behaviour" and point to its vagueness and inconsistency in its use! osf.io/preprints/os...

Quite happy to see this published: academic.oup.com/nargab/artic.... Fun fact: this seems to be only the third species-specific snoRNAome resource besides the fungal (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29196413/) and human ones (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27174936/).

Proud of @univ-amu.fr response to the crisis in the US. Thinking of moving your research from the US to France? I’m happy to share my experience—DM me. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...
