Naturalistic approaches such as Ulanovsky’s open up “potential opportunities to really reveal why the brain is structured in the way it’s structured,” says Iain Couzin. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neuroetholog...

Neuroscience projects last several years, and you are usually a bit jaded by the time you wrap it up. Not this one– spending several months on an island in the middle of nowhere, away from all the craziness of the world reminds you how beautiful the world really is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=46sv...

I am excited to share my PhD work on head-direction cells recorded in the wild, now published in @science.org, where we recorded neurons in bats flying outdoors on an island. doi.org/10.1126/sci... With @ray-neuro.bsky.social, Shir Maimon, Liora Las, Nachum Ulanovsky and many others

The work with bats on barren, 7-acre Latham Island was Nachum Ulanovsky’s most complex undertaking yet. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/neuroetholog...

This is such a fun meeting. If you are in social neuroscience - you should come. Heck even if you are not - the science is great in general! And a fun mix of animal and human research! Next time in Canada!

🦇 In a bat colony, neurons build more than a map of space. They code for identity, interactions, and social ties, creating a socio-spatial “map” of the community and social life itself! Read the full story 👉 zurl.co/JInQs 🧪 #HFSPFellowships #sts #HFSPscience

See you in Lisbon next week!

Really interesting study showing learning of tool use in carrion crows! www.cell.com/current-biol...

I'm usually not very active here, but good news: Together with @milliejohnston.bsky.social, our paper on time estimation in #crows got published in @natcomms.nature.com today! We found crow neurons track time like a stopwatch — without a cortex! 🐦⏱️🧠 #SciComm #Science 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Michael Brecht talking about why the differences in brain size in elephants might be more important than the differences in their ear sizes @behaviour2025.bsky.social

Hope to see you on Monday! This will be fun!

Have you registered yet? 😁 Secure your spot at #S4SN2025 at share.google/vRumlIDQBNLX... and join us this September in beautiful Lisbon! ✨

The new issue is out👉https://www.cell.com/cell/current ⁠ On the cover, Eliav et al. reveal that hippocampal replays in bats flying in very large, naturalistic environments were highly fragmented and short, depicting trajectories covering only a small portion of the environment size.

🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com! We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

"I look forward to the day when Israeli scientists can freely collaborate with scientists in Iran and do good for the region and for humanity. I wish the same for scientists in Gaza and throughout the Middle East." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Come visit Calcutta in the last week of August and see some amazing neuroscientists talk about the neural basis of behaviour at @behaviour2025.bsky.social With @neuroetho.bsky.social @danielavallentin.bsky.social @selmaan.bsky.social @arkarupbanerjee.bsky.social and Michael Brecht!

Please join us in Lisbon for the 2025 S4SN (@s4sn.bsky.social) meeting this year. We have a wonderful set of speakers and symposium sessions!! 👇👇

Very, very cool paper from @tamir-eliav.bsky.social and the Ulanovsky lab! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

How to understand the brain through the lens of natural behaviour? Here's Nachum's vision on exploring the whole range - from lab experiments to those in the wild. Join us in this adventure as we uncover what the brain does under the conditions it has evolved in. mitpress.mit.edu/978026204499...

Cells in the hippocampus encode not only information about a fellow bat’s position, but also its identity and distinct social features. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/social-behav...

How does the brain work in natural scenarios, in multi-animal societies of wild animals? 🧠 🧪 🦇 doi.org/10.1126/scie... (1/n)

Come visit my hometown - the biggest conference in animal behavior is happening there later this year. There are also a couple of sessions on the neural basis of behavior with some fantastic speakers!

Go work with Jerome!

@criticalrole.bsky.social 🤣

Our work on neural recordings in flying bats on an island. @shakedpa.bsky.social is a great speaker and it's fun work! 🦇🧠🧪

wow wow wow wow what a game

Hibernation is such a cool behavior. doi.org/10.1126/scie...
