Auroras over Trondheim viewed from the plane, with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ❤

A lot is happening up on Hjerkinn plateau this Christmas holidays <3

Christmas Eve ski trip with these ice age beauties ❤ Happy holidays to you all form me and @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ❤

Lunch with muskoxen at −11°C with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social , on the shortest day of the year…

Looking forward to this celebration of neuroscience in Istanbul !!! This will be such a treat for science, culture, history and food …

Chasing the sun at -5 degrees with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ❤

What a beautiful November İstanbul “sun”day morning along Bosphorus, in between Asia and Europe. Many pods of dolphin fishing in between continents were the absolute bonus of the day ❤

Thrilled to share our new paper! With @tomtom-auer.bsky.social team, we asked how #evolution reshapes what animals #eat to match their ecological niches. Using pan-neuronal Ca2+ imaging, we show that the changes are in how the brain processes #taste. Link @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

19km of winter wonderland, with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social .

It has been one of the best science experience of my life to be a part of this network, send your nominations and applications for FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence @fkne-scholars.bsky.social

The first ski trip of the year with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social , we found the sun in between snow storms 🙂

Registrations are now open !!! Come join us at @fens.org Forum 2026….

What a pleasure to have Prof Sten Grillner form @ki.se visiting us at Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience for 2 full days and inspiring us about vertebrate forebrain evolution

New essay in @currentbiology.bsky.social special brain-body issue! Fly lab meets psychiatrist: how bodily signals shape cognition and mental health. Great collaboration with Albino Oliveira-Maia showing @champalimaudf.bsky.social discovery ↔️ clinic at its best. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Thank you @phylobrain.bsky.social for visiting us and sharing inspiring ideas about the evolution of the vertebrate cortex and beyond …

What is the best brain to study disorders of behavior? Great discussion at @ecnp.eu moderated by @jatinnagpal.bsky.social with inputs from @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social @emreyaksi.bsky.social @eknapska.bsky.social & Hannah Clarke #ecnp2025

A wonderful Istanbul evening on Bosphorus with colleagues to celebrate science

So proud🤩: Beautiful work by @clykken.bsky.social 💃🏻 et al: finally we understand how the hippocampus can express multiple maps even though grid cell inputs are universal metrics. E.g. hippocampal global remapping was induced when different grid modules anchored independently to environments. See 👇🏽

Very special encounter today at Prague museum! It was incredible to see the skeleton of two of the first humanoids Lucy and Selam from 3.2 millions years ago. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague! @emreyaksi.bsky.social

Check out this exciting study led by Anh-Tuan Trinh from our lab, where we investigated how thalamocortical-like circuits in the zebrafish pallium receive, represent, and integrate sensory information: 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Thank you @pirtahotulainen.bsky.social for visiting us at Kavli Institute for Sytems Neuroscience and sharing your wonderful science, and making good memories ❤

Academic growth is best understood not as a linear or exponential curve, but as a process of dispersal—spreading ideas, people, and collaborations outward into new domains. #notetoself it’s dispersal, should be dispersal.

🚩Publication Alert🚩"Advection vs. Diffusion in Brain Ventricular Transport" by Herlyng at al in collaboration with @utropstegn.bsky.social at @simularesearch.bsky.social and Jebsen Centre for Brain Fluid Research is now published in Fluids and Barriers of the CNS! 🧠💧

Excellent paper from @emreyaksi.bsky.social @manumameli.bsky.social labs. So much gold in the supplementary figures! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

New publication from our lab is just out! rdcu.be/ezk1U In brief, we showed that glutamate-driven inhibition in the habenula can alter neural activity and connectivity, leading to amplified sensory responses and defensive behaviors.

Our postdoc Dr Dila Atak has received a big grant from Health Institutes of Türkiye to investigate alterations in human astrocytes associated with epilepsy. Thanks to fantastic clinicians of Koç University School of Medicine Drs: Solaroglu, Kulac, Gurses, Akyoldas, Baran for their generous support.

The last hike in beautiful Helgeland, with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ❤

Above the arctic circle with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social <3

Norwegian summer ❤ spring, summer, spring , fall, summer, spring ….. 😉 right @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ???

Lab representation at FENS regional meeting in Oslo. Thanks to the organizers and contributors for a wonderful meeting!

One of the exciting part of science is to celebrate milestones! We are super proud of Fanchon, Hien, Natalia and Aurora, our 4 MSc students who successfully graduated! Congrats once again! And good luck for what is coming next! @emreyaksi.bsky.social @inyoungj88.bsky.social @kavlintnu.bsky.social

Excited to highlight @emreyaksi.bsky.social lab’s latest work for the @prelights.bsky.social : they’ve uncovered a topographic code in the dorsal raphe that drives flexible sensory–motor decisions in zebrafish, mapping brain dynamics to behavior in stunning detail! 🐟 #zebrafish #systemsneuroscience

Back in “the city”, only for very short this time… but any public transport adventure is a photo opportunity in this beautiful city ❤

Among all things happening in the world, it is Sakura time in our Buvika ❤

Star Wars Day falls on #ZebrafishZunday and we are doing our best to celebrate the day with this Naboo N-1 Starfighter-themed zebrafish larva! Credit to Dr. Ahmed Jamali of @emreyaksi.bsky.social Lab. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou 🧪

Back in beautiful Norway ❤ for an Easter hike with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social … God paske !!!!

Goodbye sunny Bergen, absolutely the most beautiful city in Norway !!! And thank you @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for the invitation. It was a true blast to get to learn more about the amazing science of @msarscentre.bsky.social

Thank you @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for inviting me to Michael Sars Centre. @msarscentre.bsky.social is absolutely one of the crown jewels of Norwegian science. I had a fantastic day talking to amazing trainees and group leaders of SARS Center about the biology and evolution of marine organisms.

We are proud to present our new preprint “Correlative light and electron microscopy reveals the fine circuit structure underlying evidence accumulation in larval zebrafish”, just posted on bioRxiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). (1/10)

How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz Led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social

Fantastic study and collaboration led by stellar postdoc @ioansarr.bsky.social, it was a pleasure to host you in the lab (& thanks to @embo.org for the visiting fellowship)

Cilia has been at the center of our discussions at the spring school of our @for5547.bsky.social cilia consortium. In total there were 26 trainees from across Europe, few PIs and our brilliant coordinator Christina Klausen.

Check out the latest preprint from our lab, led by Aytac Kadir Mutlu, on the role of topographically organized dorsal raphe (DRN) activity in regulating forebrain function and adaptive behaviors! 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
