Interesting theta sequence-replay-learning relationships! Consistent with Winson's '78 work on theta disruption impairing learning and our (Farooq & Dragoi '19; DOI: 10.1126/science.aav0502) work on emergence of preplay and waking rest replay prior to theta sequences during rat postnatal development

Beautiful work showing a link between hippocampal theta sequence and learning, but not subsequent replay.

1/ Something surreal happened to me recently 🍀 I ordered “A Feeling for the Organism” — Evelyn Fox Keller’s biography of #BarbaraMcClintock, the 1983 Nobel prize winner who discovered “jumping genes.” 🧬

This week, @thetransmitter.bsky.social is at the @blackinneuro.bsky.social Conference. If you’re attending, we’d love to meet you! Swing by our booth to find out more about us and our efforts to support early-career researchers. #BINW25 #neuroskyence

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience? Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall. Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!

Thrilled to share this work, long time in the making! Carried through creatively by @siddjakes.bsky.social after initial design & piloting by @trackingskills.bsky.social, with help from @trackingactions.bsky.social. Modeling in collaboration with Massimo Vergassola & Nicola Rigolli.

Excited to share our new preprint on the brain-wide organization of intrinsic timescales at single neuron resolution. Work w/ @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social, @intlbrainlab.bsky.social, Anna Levina, @engeltatiana.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

does someone good at coding & analysis want to work remotely w/ us in the coming few months (before end of 2025), as a paid consultant? project will be on neurofeedback (fMRI, ECoG, calcium imaging). we'll work towards developing the experiments & analysis pipelines together. if so pls DM me ur CV🧠📈

Happening today, folks! I'm hearing great things about this meeting from them. I wish I could be there but if you're already there, please attend and give us some feedback. This is a project that makes a big leap from another discipline that we really are not experts on. So we'd appreciate feedback!

“Crucially, we need systems of accountability. Every line of code in a research project, whether written by humans or AI, must be attributable to a specific person who can defend its logic, validate its assumptions and explain its choices to reviewers.” Nice article: do read ⬇️

“Don’t we want to encourage honest discussions of controversial issues and compel our students to express their conscience, even if that means hard conversations, heated arguments, and, yes, some pain? “

Check out our latest preprint! BlueSky-less Gayathri Subramanian tried combining odor & sound presentation during sleep to shape memories and discovered that multisensory cuing of unassociated memories nullified the benefits of reactivation. @paller.bsky.social

This is an important series of interviews by Prof. Gita Chadha. Continuation of the series on women faculty at @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social. Gita is a sociologist archiving these important conversations. youtu.be/Jh0_fA3WIgc?...

We are excited to have Dr. Dimple Notani from NCBS delivering an interesting Seminar. She will discuss about how RNA, through its ability to interact with transcription factors, plays a critical role in facilitating fast and dynamic transcriptional responses, particularly at weak binding sites.

Exciting news!! I’m joining the tenure-track faculty at University of Colorado Boulder this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience! The Sosa Lab will study how memory is shaped by cognitive and physiological demands, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. 🧵

The lab's first paper is out! We find that pupil constriction in mice drives strong retinal activity in vivo, and that humans can also perceive pupil-shaped stimulus. This has repercussions for anybody using pupillometry. 🧵1/n www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence #neuroscience #neuro

#resourceshelp Please repost 🙏🏽 I am looking for a list of (recommended) online courses in #computational #neuroscience that offer a #certification. Ideally, the focus of those courses would be systems and networks rather than single-cell modeling. (I know of the 2 courses offered by Neuromatch)

So, #AcademicSky PIs, a few completely random questions for you: What’s something you wish you had known/did when you started your own lab? -or- What’s something you did when you started your lab that worked out well? Asking for a friend...

A new study by Forli, Fan, Qi & Yartsev 2025 shows that wingbeat cycle in bats is #rhythmic at 8Hz ❗❗& like the #rat #stepping, internal hippocampal representations can synchronize with the wingbeat phase. ➡️ Bat wingbeat www.nature.com/articles/s41... ➡️ Rat steps www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🦇🐀👀

Are you allowed another tweeprint for a revised preprint? Anyways, it's been a year since we first put out PhysMAP (I also do [many] monkey experiments!) and thanks to some excellent reviews + additional co-authors, we're really excited about where we've landed! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’ve seen some examples of #systems #neuroscience labs co-run by two or more PIs. Is there research about (or has somebody written about how that’s done?) What are the advantages/disadvantages — for #science, for #trainees How it came about? Etc.. 👀

📣 We are expanding! Repost 🙏🏽 - Postdoc (funded by @simonsfoundation.org grant on synchronisation between cognitive representations and stepping) - Project Associates - Create your role! (Reach out if you are keen on these topics and these roles do not define you 👀🤗) www.neuroact.in

My PhD journey has officially come to end with a Summa Cum Laude, thanks to all the amazing people who’ve supported me along the way, especially my advisors Anna Levina and @engeltatiana.bsky.social! Which apparently coincided with graduation from a witchcraft and wizardry school 😉 #neuroskyence

Check out this new work from @akgillespie.bsky.social lab 🐀 where they describe a new #behavioural setup to test learning and memory in rats. "A Semi-Automated, Parallelized, and Flexible Spatial Navigation Task for Rats" ⏬

Amidst everything, the lab's first preprint is out! It's just a methods paper, no scientific results (yet!), but it's still great to see it all pulled together. We hope that these open-source behavioral tools will be useful for others!

Finally made the jump to BlueSky 🦋👋 (only took me 2 years! 😅). Still figuring out how this works. Help a neuroscientist find her tribe? 🧠✨ #academicsky #neuroscience #womeninstem
