Join the 2025 UCL Neuropixels course (free and online!), 22-24th of October: Day 1 and 2: Get started with the basics and the latest updates on hardware & software. Day 3: Focus on how to analyse the many neurons you recorded. More info and to register: www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels/...

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0 🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

This looks pretty cool: ultrasound can now see through the skull! 🧠🔊 The skull has long been a barrier to ultrasound. This reprint shows how to make it quickly transparent → enabling full-depth, high-res fUSI in mice (& humans! 🤯🤯) Huge congrats to the authors!!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Introducing our new favorite stimulus. A few minutes are enough to map the visual preferences of thousands of neurons. Mapping the visual cortex with Zebra noise and wavelets www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... By Sophie Skriabine and Max Shinn, with Samuel Picard and @kenneth-harris.bsky.social

A new study led by @timothysit.bsky.social reveals that different layers of mouse V1 integrate visual and non-visual signals differently. Activity is dominated by vision (or spontaneous fluctuations) in L2/3 and by movement in L5. This leads to different geometries. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New by Agnès Landemard (@agnesland.bsky.social‬) & co Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations Brainwide fluctuations in blood volume arise from two populations with opposite relation to brain state and distinct relationships to blood supply www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
