🚨Big news!🚨 The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research. I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

Maybe check out the associated website. icg-explorer.org. I know I know, it's not fully integrated with ICG1, but these things are difficult.

“Mapping ion channel function” doi.org/10.7554/eLif... isn’t exactly a citation slayer, but it’s still one of my favourites (& my first independent project). Today we push pt 2, where we trace code origin & unite almost all channel models in a common expression. Boom! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our new preprint in which we propose a biologically plausible mechanistic solution to the problem of how the brain can flexibly learn and store new representations without forgetting previously learned information. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Detailed 🧵 below 👇 1/12

Very happy to share this preprint from the lab led by @cmiehl.bsky.social, Sebastian and Maurycy on how to flexibly learn with nonlinear dendrites and inhibitory context-dependent gating, putting biological detail in ANNs. Check out Christoph's post below for a preview or the paper for more details!

Very happy our cautionary tale of GECI expression in the hippocampus is out in @eLife. https://elifesciences.org/articles/93804 We describe Ca2+ waves though the hippocampus. Mesmerising but artefact of GECI expression. Also a tweet print https://x.com/tonykellyEU/status/1723654794626154891. 1/3

Dendrites have been under the microscope, since 1888. We took it further and put dendrites under 3 different microscopes (ExM, STED, EM) and reconstructed entire branches to reveal fine nanoscale details. #SuperResolution #ElectronMicroscopy #Morphology https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.18.664460

Recently I referred to how dendritic compartmentalisation increases computation. What is a computational unit. How has the view evolved from point neuron (basis for ANNs). How a neuroscience view may increase AI efficiency. buff.ly/zoF1rJz preprint on compartmentalisation buff.ly/TAsJuVr

New group leader position in computational neuroscience @ Neurocentre Magendie, INSERM, Bordeaux! More info here: www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr/group-leader... ⚠️ Application deadline: end of September 2025 @neurobordeaux.bsky.social @neuromagendie.bsky.social

We just pushed “Memory by a 1000 rules” onto bioRxiv, where we use clever #ML to find #plasticity quadruplets (EE, EI, IE, II) that learn basic stability in spiking nets. Why is it cool? We find 1000s!! of solutions, and they don’t just stabilise. They #memorise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here is your last reminder that the application deadline for Imbizo.Africa is nearing quickly, the 1st of July, in fact tomorrow. Still the place where diversity is at its best in the world! Tell all who need to hear. #africa #neuro

First Bluesky post! I'm excited to share a preprint from my postdoctoral work where we 1) define the developmental mechanisms guiding formation of a vagal gut-brain circuit and 2) discover that this circuit regulates much more than just appetite. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

PhD/Postdoc position in Computational Neuroscience at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (UZH and ETH Zürich): we are investigating the neural circuits underlying perception and learning in uncertain environments: www.ini.uzh.ch/en/research/... #PhD #ComputationalNeuroscience #UZHZurich #ETHZurich

Our work, out at Cell, shows that the brain’s dopamine signals teach each individual a unique learning trajectory. Collaborative experiment-theory effort, led by Sam Liebana in the lab. The first experiment my lab started just shy of 6y ago & v excited to see it out: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature! When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️ The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar bit.ly/3HvWSum

Fantastic work on Multi-agent RL from @dvnxmvlhdf5.bsky.social & @tyrellturing.bsky.social! 🤩

Planning to apply for #research #funding from the ERC? From the next application rounds, expect changes to the: • proposal structure • evaluation process • extra funding you can request • eligibility for Starting & Consolidator #Grants (from 2027) More 👇 europa.eu/!RPHWvv

the magic growing/shrinking GTP/GDP switch lies in the differential ability to bend out of plane and hold on neighbours. Alone you go faster, together we go further.

Happy to contribute to this fantastic work by @maksimkalutskii.bsky.social and @maxotubule.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

1/6 Why does the brain maintain such precise excitatory-inhibitory balance? Our new preprint explores a provocative idea: Small, targeted deviations from this balance may serve a purpose: to encode local error signals for learning. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by @jrbch.bsky.social

Big if true in nature: "Strikingly, this phenomenon does not require additional mechanisms like intransitive or higher-order interactions; rather, coexistence arises from dense networks of indirect effects." 🧪 #EvoBio #Complexity #Macroecology

We show here that neural travelling waves may not indicate the direction of information flow - counter to the common interpretation. To recover information flow, the conventional phase-based methods should be supplemented by causal inference techniques like Granger causality 1/2

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)
