Very excited to share new work by Leonardo Lupori. In mice, a single dose of the antipsychotic clozapine results in changes to behavior and cortical activity patterns that remain detectable a week later. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are getting ready! Excited to welcome all BonnBrain participants tomorrow, and looking forward to some great sciencing ahead. 🔬 🧠 🧪 Safe travels & see you in Bonn!

Really enjoyed writing up this article with Lavonna Mark for @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social on how internal states - like attention, arousal, or goals - can reshape our brain's map of space, helping the brain adapt navigation to what matters most. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share some new work from my lab, where we rigorously characterize differences between L5 and L6b extratelencephalic neurons in the auditory cortex!

‪Ever wondered how GABAergic interneurons shape cognition? The IN-CODE consortium's latest NeuroView article introduces a "population approach", shifting the focus from individual interneurons to cooperative networks. Dive into the future of interneuron research here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Applications to present in the Early Career Session for the E.A.R.S. seminar series now open! www.med.upenn.edu/pennhearing/... The Early Career Seminar will feature four presentations, selected by the EARS organizing committee from submissions. Deadline: March 31: forms.gle/ScNp8exjEQ3A... .

Great work from Claire, Ravi, and the whole team– the initial lifelong continuous screen of behaving vertebrates provided a wealth of ideas on progression/staging of brain function across lifespan. Behavior is unmatched as a noninvasive quantitative readout of brain function (and, one that matters).

New paper from the Geffen and @labhaas.bsky.social Laboratories just published! We find that the enigmatic thalamic reticular nucleus exerts bi-directional cell-specific control over sound processing. The super-thin sheet of inhibitory neurons is rather mighty and highly computationally relevant!

The medial geniculate body #MGB in the #auditory #thalamus is a key early node in sound processing. @geffenlab.bsky.social @labhaas.bsky.social &co show in mice that two inhibitory neuron types have distinct connectivity & effects on sound processing. @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47twOtM

How do fish localize sound without interaural cues? @johve.bsky.social et al. found a behavioral algorithm for directional hearing that predicts behavior from a pressure/motion phase comparison and accounts for how this relationship varies with distance. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Tiny, transparent, and now charted! Our brain atlas of adult Danionella cerebrum includes >200 annotated regions, 29 whole-brain in situs, and male/female reference volumes – openly available, versioned and extendable. Work by @nkadobyansky.bsky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Meet Laura Haetzel from the lab on Saturday at #COSYNE2026 presenting her recent work on the neuronal computations of active avoidance, showing that inhibition in sensory thalamus tracks value while learning to act on threat-predictive cues. Poster 3-011

Check out this preprint from the Harvey lab! Come for trial-by-trial modeling of large-scale neural dynamics and mouse behavior, stay to learn about chaotic attractors and what they can do for behavioral flexibility! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Is spatial navigation innate 🧠? Using #NeuroPixels we show that the #torus 🍩 underlying the #GridCell map exists already on day 10 in rats — before pups open eyes and ears and before they start upright walking. 🧵1:4 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Check out our latest research drop! We show BLA dopamine signaling encodes the emotional weight of sensory transitions, but not the associative strength or value of stimuli. These signals dynamically rescale when the learning context changes: "this matters most!" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Looking forward to being in @bonnbrainconf.bsky.social in less than two weeks. Reach out if you are around and would like to meet up! 🙌 Honored, a little nervous, and mostly very excited to be included in such a cool lineup 🤩 on #learning and #memory 🐀🐾🧠

How does the brain generalize past experiences without confusing memories? 🧠 Our lab's newest preprint reveals a fundamental division of labor between the cortex and cerebellum that solves this problem. (Check out the cortex-cerebellum video below! 👇) 🧵

First preprint from the lab! Using intracellular recordings & analysis of 2-photon imaging data, we show that spiking & neuromodulatory input during experience drive a reorganization of visuomotor inputs in V1 layer 2/3 neurons, consistent with enhanced visuomotor cancellation - bioRxiv link below.

First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint out 🎉 What happens to the hippocampal “place code” when an animal is actively engaged in a task? The answer surprised us (and might surprise you too!). Let's dive in ⬇️ Link: "Hippocampal trace coding dominates and disrupts place coding" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Hippocampal trace coding dominates and disrupts place coding https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.17.706430v1

A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I recommend this school to anyone interested in computation in the brain - it receives excellent reviews year after year, it is highly interactive and social, and the setting is remarkable.

🚀 New preprint from the lab! Our first foray into the subiculum uses in vivo whole-cell recordings to show that dendritic plateaus are a prominent, learning-dependent signaling mode of subicular neurons. Feedback is welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint from the lab! Stefan Sun and @q-perrenoud.bsky.social collaborated to look at how sensory experience affects the adult cortex. Using ephys and 2-photon imaging, they found that varied visual experience reorganizes dendrite-targeting inhibitory circuits in V1.

Please share: I am recruiting a PhD student to join my lab in Oslo! For this project, we will investigate the role of striatal interneurons during action selection, using a combination of behavior, in vivo voltage imaging, and slice ephys. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... #NeuroJobs #NeuroSkyence

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP
