Registrations for the Symposium for the Biology of decision making (SBDM) in Lyon 2025 are finally open! sbdm2025.github.io Please spread the message!

🚨 !!! New preprint !!! 🚨 Excited to share my student @samibeaumont’s latest work, where we demonstrate that inference over putative strategies is sufficient to fully accounts for human adaptation across diverse statistical contexts, when reinforcement learning cannot. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 #Neuroscience #Preprint

A must read paper in Nature Human Behavior for anyone in the fields of #EEG #neuroscience #neurology #psychology or #medicaldevice Interested to know what people agree and disagree with? There are several things that they say are years away that are already happening www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@hritz.bsky.social hi could you add me to the cog. Control sp. please ? Thanks 🙏 We just showed with a student with intracranial human recordings that an optimal level of theta is required for task switching

@guidomeijer.com hi, could you add me to the sp. On system neuro / neuronal population fans, please ? 🙏

Happy 🎉 to share that our article 🚨, "Lateral Prefrontal Theta Oscillations Causally Drive a Computational Mechanism Underlying Conflict Expectation and Adaptation," has been published 📚 today in NatureComms. (1/8) doi.org/10.1038/s414....

Opposite responses to reward with dopamine (up) and serotonin (down) in nucleus accumbens boost reinforcement learning. Impressive work in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neurons in the human brain multitask! Shared neurons fire in bursts for multiple stimuli, but their firing order shifts to create stimulus-specific sequences. A clever, dynamic way the brain encodes complex info. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@romanececchi.bsky.social Welcome romane !!

Huge influx of neuroscientists migrates to Bluesky www.thetransmitter.org/community/hu... #Neuroscience

The craziest paper I have ever done is this thought experiment with Albert Gidon and Matt Larkum. In the first journal, reviewer 1 recommended that we should not try to publish this; reviewer 2 called it "wacky". Thanks for the motivation: A sequel is coming up! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

I was unprepared for how much of my mid-career academic life would be spent evaluating others' work rather than creating my own. 🧵 1/

very proud of this (very) long study On behavioral switching and theta oscillations in the prefrontal-subthalamic circuit that is now out in nature commun. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

Welcome to BSky Jerome Sallet! @jsallet.bsky.social

New nat. commun. Paper by Cecchi et Al. 2024 on Causal involvement of anterior insulate and ventrimedial prefrontal cortex during risky choices rdcu.be/dSn7I Four years of work: congrats to romane: well done !!

We are also looking for a PhD (36 to 48 months) to study single-neuron correlates of human decision-making processes . 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/190454

The laboratory is recruiting a post-doc (18 months, renewable) to study how epileptic activity interferes with decision-making processes by combining intracerebral recordings with value-based choice tasks. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/137961

Our last paper out on the role of human thalamus during reinforcement learning is out 😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A themed collection that showcases research examining neural mechanisms underlying cognitive functions in people affected by neurological conditions out in Nat. Comm. Happy to see that the collection features our paper on thalamus role during learning 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 www.nature.com/collections/agjheebcbe

We demonstrate a causal relationship between neural activities in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the anterior insula and choices using intracranial electrical stimulation (iES) on epileptic patients. iES effects are contingent on the exact stimulation site within each brain region.

Direct stimulation of anterior insula and ventromedial prefrontal cortex disrupts economic choices. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... sciencecast.org/casts/13spgf...

Our new paper out in @NatureNeuro. We uncovered the roles of orbitofrontal cortex in distinct aspects of meta-reinforcement learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
