The paper shows that high‑gamma field activity and local spiking are distinct. The “hashy” signal often treated as a proxy for spiking is partly generated by other biophysics like dendritic and network‑level currents, not just summed spikes. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Liked the thoughtful consideration about what we know/don’t know about ripples & manifolds and how individuals cell types might be key in resolving some puzzles. @lmprida.bsky.social also discusses differences in thinking/writing/intuiting in one’s own language which is on point ✅ Check it out!

New preprint out 🚨 “Predictive pursuit emerges in high-dimensional recurrent neural networks”! This was an awesome collaboration with co-first author @fatihdinc.bsky.social , @andyalexander.bsky.social, @xiaoxiao-lin.bsky.social, and May Chen biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/

Preprint alert! We've done the first ever brain recording simultaneously from IT & PMv in two monkeys interacting socially in natural setting! Dynamic tracking of social variables in simultaneous brain recordings of socially interacting monkeys www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint! 🧵🧪🧠 doi.org/10.64898/202... Upshot: somatosensory cortex contains both feedback *and* intended movement signals (a.k.a. corollary discharge). These two signals exist orthogonally in neural space, flexibly allowing both fast state estimation and external perturbation detection. 1/

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Pasteur Institute of Iran, founded in 1920 now destroyed by Israel-US bombing😞 It played a pivotal role in developing vaccines & public health services, for over a century, now gone😞 A few days ago a pharmaceutical plant was bombed, accused of making anesthetic fentanyl #War #PasteurInstituteIran

1/8 New preprint alert! How are signals from the heart encoded in the brain? What could be the functional implications of cardioception? We found that neurons in the posterior insular cortex are precisely tuned to heartbeats, and that this cardio-insular coupling supports emotion coding in mice.

An amazing opportunity for students to get their foot in the door for neuroscience research! Great to see a program explicitly welcome applicants from community colleges and folks with no prior experience!! www.simonsfoundation.org/2026/03/10/a...

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 🐀🐾🧠

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

Thrilled this is out, led by former PD Cameron Ogg (now with her own lab at @rhodescollege.bsky.social!). It was a driven by a desire to see, in real-time, how LC activity/NE release influences downstream targets in behaving animals. SO hard to do, but Cameron did it! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

What is plant nutation? What is a motif in science? What lessons does ecological psychology have for neuroscience? How does Vicente @diovicen.bsky.social enjoy the band Judas Priest yet still do good philosophy and science? Here are the answers: braininspired.co/podcast/223/

New paper out today on hippocampus neuron morphology in homing and feral pigeons. 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #neuroskyence #neuroethology #anatomy

We are really excited about what comes next in this system. We think it opens the door to ask, "why does neuron number matter?" i.e., - what does adding more neurons to a circuit do to affect behavior? And, shameless plug, I'm on the job market looking for the opportunity to do just that :)

You have to read @kelseytea.bsky.social excellent work on dexterity in deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. A powerful example of cross species comparisons to study principles of motor control ✅

We (I and @willenjoy.bsky.social) created a toolbox for simulations of EEG/MEG because we needed to simulate data. Our initial aim was to simulate connectivity. For this short clip, I simulated two sources with phase connectivity using our toolbox. #brainmovie meegsim.readthedocs.io/en/stable/in...

📣 BIG NEWS EVERYONE. I am so excited to announce… 🎉 I’m moving to University College London @ucl.ac.uk to join the Experimental Psychology department in @uclpals.bsky.social! 🎉 The big move happens in spring/summer. So I’m already exploring recruiting staff & students at UCL for fall 2026!

Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!
