Western study reveals brain’s predictive power. Researchers find neurons don’t wait for challenges to arise, they plan how to react. news.westernu.ca/2025/10/sens... #CdnPSE @westernu.ca

🚨Job alert🚨 The lab has up to *3 postdoc openings* for comp systems neuroscientists interested in describing and manipulating neural population dynamics mediating behaviour This is part of a collaborative ARIA grant "4D precision control of cortical dynamics" euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/383909

Deadline to submit for oral presentations at #NCMKobe26 is in just under a month! We especially welcome Team/Panel proposals: 2 hour session w 4 talks + discussion. Historically, the acceptance rate is higher for panels than for individual talks. Poster submission closes in February.

I'm really proud of being part of this paper - an amazing success for us in the Western Sensorimotor Superlab with @andpru.bsky.social @gribblelab.org! Congrats Jon!

Stoked to see our study out in final form! Big kudos to @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social for driving this along for the past 5 years.

I don't know who needs to hear this but: there are many ways to be successful in science -- think about what you want to achieve, how you can achieve it, and aim for that.

Despite These Times...my department is hiring! I really like my department, we have a good mix of disciplines and organisms and we're really low-drama. We also get pizza at faculty meeting. So if you're a computational and structural biologist, join us! 🧪 jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/260...

The neural control & computation lab is recruiting! If you're interested in using large-scale neural population recordings to study how the brain learns to produce complex and flexible behaviours, please get in touch. www.ncclab.ca

We will have an NHP position open at @westernu.ca this year. Posting is coming soon. If you're interested about our setup and the opportunities here, feel free to get in touch.

Emory Biology is hiring a neuroscientist! We have a great supportive and innovative neuroscience and neural engineering community here!

New work by @vaishusukumar.bsky.social from my lab investigating the effect of hand speed on the tactile discrimination of fine forms. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Incredible study by Raut et al.: by tracking a single measure (pupil size), you can model slow, large-scale dynamics in neuronal calcium, metabolism, and brain blood oxygen through a shared latent space! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So much to read!

Full professor complaining to an assistant professor on how hard it is to get funding nowadays

resurfaced from a grant deadline -- what'd I miss?

I have been waiting to see this one out for a while. Congratulations @mchurchland.bsky.social and team!

📣 This is a big one that we've been cooking for a while! We think it adds to the heart of motor control: 'how does motor cortex work'. Congratulations @mkashefi.bsky.social!

Amazing new paper - such a pleasure to be involved! With so much and clean neuropixel data - analysis becomes a completely different game…

Very timely and insightful OpEd by Prof. Cory Miller on WSJ. It lays out an important point - Advanced AI cannot be developed in a vacuum without understanding the sophisticated machines we have in our brains. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

I wrote a Comment on neurotheory, and now you can read it! Some thoughts on where neurotheory has and has not taken root within the neuroscience community, how it has shaped those subfields, and where we theorists might look next for fresh adventures. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For anyone interested in an academic job in 🇨🇦, we will soon be advertising an Assistant Prof position in Systems Neuroscience (rodents and other animal models) at ULethbridge. There are many pros and cons of working here, so feel free to DM me to find out more #neuroskyence #academicsky

Faculty position in aging in Montreal! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Go work with Matt! Its a great project and a wonderful spot for studying the neural control of movement.

🚨 I’m excited to say that my CIHR Project Grant was funded! My NHP lab is now full-speed-ahead, and I’m hiring experimentalists (postdoc, PhD student, and/or a tech/manager). We’ll do multi-region ephys during reaching/grasping in macaques, with behavioral and spinal perturbations.

MBOKO!
