We are excited to invite all behavioral neuroscientists to the 35th Annual IBNS Meeting at Cape Town, South Africa June 23-27, 2026! Call for Symposia / Satellite Proposals Deadline: Tuesday, October 28, 2025 More information can be found at ibnsconnect.org/meetings

Job Alert!!! We are looking for a motivated postdoc to join a 3-year BBSRC funded project led by my colleague Carl Stevenson (I’m coPI). This multi-disciplinary project will combine in vivo heart rate monitoring and optogenetics with behavioural testing (fear and active avoidance) in rats.

Do you have experience turning amateur data analysis scripts into robust, scalable code? I’m hiring (hourly pay) to professionalize Python scripts for scientific data analysis, making them reusable across multiple datasets. Tromsø/Norway-based candidates preferred, but all are welcome! DM me!

🚨New paper alert! We studied the long-term consequences of SSRI use during pregnancy on the offspring in rats in a seminatural environment. We found that perinatal FLX exposure significantly increases sexual behavior in adult male rats. @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social #neuroscience #neuroskyence

IBNS is going to South Africa next year! Time to think about submitting a symposium! @ibnsconnect.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Nothing beats the feeling when your research gets picked up by the media! 🎉 Our latest study is featured on NRK – so great to see science reaching a wider audience. 🔬📰 #ScienceCommunication #NRK www.nrk.no/trondelag/kj...

🚨 New Article Alert! 🚨 Our latest research reveals how long-term consumption of a cafeteria (CAF) diet impacts the ventral tegmental area in rats. 🍔🍟🍩#Neuroskyence @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧠📈 I had the privilege to attend #IBNSConnect conference in Tromsoe last week and it was fantastic. I presented data with the rescue behavior task and the role dorsal hippocampus play in the learning of this behavior. My former PhD supervisor presented my PhD data. I watched the sun *not* set.

Heading back from #IBNS2025 in Tromsø with an overnight layover in Copenhagan, feeling so invigorated and excited to return to the lab!

j Radulovic: stress response is conserved across species & stress influences memory formation (acute or chronic can influence memory) . Memory can be expressed in transciptomic states #IBNS2025 @ibnsconnect.bsky.social

Did I just go fishing at the Artic Circle during the midnight sun before the conference kicks in? Life as an academic got interesting 🫣🩷 #IBNS2025

Fear ourside the box. Important insights in the neural pathways mediating the what and where of a predator threat in the keynote lecture of Nelson Canteras. @ibnsconnect.bsky.social #IBNSconnect #IBNS2025

Fascinating local keynote lecture by Siri Leknes @sirileknes.bsky.social at the IBNS meeting in in Tromso. @IBNSconnect #IBNSconnect #IBNS2025

Opening lecture of the IBNS meeting in Tromso by Karen Bales. @IBNSconnect #IBNSconnect #IBNS2025

I’m at IBNS in Tromso 🇳🇴 for #IBNS2025. First up Farida Sohrabji stroke is 5th leading cause of death in men but 3rd(!) in women!!! & one of the leading causes of AD. Pre-menopause fewer women have stroke but after 65 many more women have strokes than men.

The IBNS annual conference was held this year in Tromsø, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. Here's a photo of the participants at our symposium (number 1 :-), co-organized by Véronique Deroche-Gamonnet and Dana Conlisk. I'm also sharing some photos taken around Tromsø.

The IBNS meeting in Tromsø has come to an end. Thank you all for making it a memorable gathering, both scientifically and socially! Hopefully I see you all in Cape Town next year! @ibnsconnect.bsky.social #IBNS2025 #Tromsø #neuroskyence

I am super honored to win this award from the experimental health research conference (EHRC) @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social

New preprint alert! Perinatal fluoxetine exposure increases male rat sexual behavior. @uitnorgesarktiske.bsky.social #neuroscience #neuroskyence

@sfn.org will you consider hosting ur conference outside of the 🇺🇸 anytime soon? I used to enjoy attending but no longer wish to travel to America. Please consider adopting ohbm’s model of hosting outside of 🇺🇸 on alternate years to support international neuroscience communities more.

We are looking for a postdoc who wants to write an exciting MSCA-PF grant proposal with us. Our university offers a great program that can help us succeed in obtaining funding: uit.no/arcticmsca. Interested? Just send me your CV and a max 2-page research idea. Please share! #Neuroskyence

Happy sun day! After two months without sun above the horizon, we finally got to see her again! Welcome back! 🌞 #Tromsø

New paper alert! We studied the temporal copulatory patterns of female rat sexual behavior and proposed a new behavioral assessment method. #behavioralneuroscience #UiTtheArcticUniversityofNorway #neuroscience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are looking for enthusiastic post-docs who want to join the The Arctic MSCA-PF program and write a MSCA-PF application with us. Do you see how you could contribute to our research: uit.no/research/beh...? Then apply for the program here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/308380

Just 10 more lovely days like these until the sun will return above the horizon! #mørketid #tromsø

God Jul!

Home is where the Northern Lights are. 🌌❄️ Up north, you can barely step outside without stumbling into a northern lights show. It's like the sky is saying, "Don't forget to look up, buddy!" 🤷‍♂️✨ No matter how often I see it, the aurora always leaves me in awe. #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Tromsø

IBNS is now looking for sponsors and exhibitors! Time to sign up for IBNS in Tromsø next year! #IBNS #Neuroscience

IBNS is now accepting abstracts! Come join us in Tromsø in June 2025 and make our program even better with your poster! #IBNS #Neuroscience

It has already been 14 years since we arrived in Tromsø. But finally, I can say that I am fully integrated. #Lutefisk #TraditionalChristmasFood

Disgusted, disturbed and distraught to read about the silence from #UiT. When whistleblowers dare to come forward with names and faces, while tenured academics stay silent, something is fundamentally wrong. Freedom of speech matters most when it's hardest. www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

News like this is always shocking, but it's especially disappointing when it occurs at your own university. What's perhaps most infuriating, however, is the response to the article: complete silence... www.nordnorskdebatt.no/ubehagelig-s...

Karen Bales, Ph.D. will give the IBNS Presidential Lecture: Comparative and developmental neurobiology of pair-bonding. June 24-29, 2025 in Tromsø, Norway.

Excited to see this review manuscript from lab MD/PhD student Dalton Fitzgerald officially out in Addiction Neuroscience! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Deadline is tomorrow for the UTEP psychology graduate programs! We hope to see your application this cycle! ⬇️

Neural responses to social rejection reflect dissociable learning about relational value and reward www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

We’re recruiting a postdoc interested in developing translational rat models of psychiatric disorders/treatments, esp impacts of adolescent THC & early-life adversity. #behavior, #addiction, #depression, #circuits, #glia, #omics, #psychedelics. Thriving, collaborative community. Let’s talk!

I would have gone to #IBNS2025 next summer regardless, but with a symposium programme like this, it is a no-brainer!
