For more than a century anatomical maps divide the #brain into regions according to structural variations in the tissue. But do these divisions really reflect how the brain works? A new study on mice from @ki.se suggests that this is often not the case #research #neuroscience tinyurl.com/4jtffpc2

I mer än ett sekel har anatomiska kartor delat upp hjärnan i regioner utifrån strukturella variationer i vävnaden. Men speglar dessa indelningar verkligen hur hjärnan fungerar? En ny studie på möss från @ki.se tyder på att så ofta inte är fallet @carlenlab.bsky.social #forskning tinyurl.com/2tznb2pf

It's out! Our new study (led by @pierrelemerre.bsky.social & @weltgeischt.bsky.social @carlenlab.bsky.social) challenges classical cytoarchitectonic borders in the prefrontal cortex, showing that connectivity better explains its functional organization.

Main postdoc study out! We can redefine prefrontal cortex regions with single-unit activity! Grateful to @carlenlab.bsky.social and @weltgeischt.bsky.social who made this crazy project real. Thanks to all co-authors, collaborators, and reviewers. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy birthday to us! 🥳 In 2003, we launched with just four employees in a small, rented laboratory working together towards a big goal - map the entire mammalian brain in a way the world had never seen. 🧠📈 #OpenScienceWeek

This is what can be achieved today due to longstanding federal support of academic basic science alongside close partnership of universities, private industry and NIH intramural initiatives. An ecosystem worth not just saving but doubling down on! innovativegenomics.org/news/first-p...

Fantastic!! brainprize.org/winners/canc...

We are hiring a research assistant! Come join our ongoing project investigating the PFC-striatum pathway in cognitive flexibility. Head-fixed behavior, Neuropixels, optogenetics, and viral circuit tracing etc ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/.... Please spread.

first thing to share here! excited to share lab’s first study in Parkinson’s disease revealing the prodromal vulnerability and function of the dopamine neuron subtype defined by Anxa1 expression - a specialized system controlling procedural motor learning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My first on BlueSky! 5 yrs in the making, a new view on the mouse PFC, based on activity
