PhD Alert! 😍 Our lab is hiring a PhD student to study how shrews shrink in winter and grow in spring. Yes, you read that right! tinyurl.com/shrinkingshr... Join us at the @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, study a super cool animal, and join the @imprs-qbee.bsky.social community! DM me for questions!

Super happy & proud to share that I’ll return to @univie.ac.at in june 2026 as a tenure track professor to start my own research group exploring the neural basis of social cognition in humans, dogs & their wild relatives 🧠🐩👫 More on my current research: 🎥 youtu.be/q7H1dT4IU9w 📰 bit.ly/4mE8mLI

1) I am delighted to present this terrific tour de force research conducted by my post-doc Dr. Gayani Senevirathne @gayani.bsky.social and published today in Nature - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I'm very excited and happy to share that the canid cognition team in Neuchâtel is growing fast! We'll be hiring soon, so keep your eyes and ears open 🐺🐶

such a game changer for comparative neuroimaging! i am very proud to have played a small part in this 🧠

Always thought we should use connectivity blueprints to investigate differences between human, chimpanzee, and macaque brains? www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... For Katherine Bryant’s latest masterpiece.

Almost the entire editorial board of the Journal of Human Evolution have resigned in protest of changes made by the publisher Elsevier. These changes degrade the quality of articles through the use of AI and also double the publishing fee over what similar journals charge. 🧪🌍🌿

🧠 Come work with us! In addition to our postdoc position on modelling, our lab at @institutpasteur.bsky.social we also seek a postdoc to help us create the most complete open atlas of brain folding development! This is part of our ERC Synergy project Unfold (unfold-lab.github.io). Join us! (1/10)

Applications are now open for an Assistant Professorship in Animal Behavior & Conservation, Psychology at Hunter College, CUNY 🐿️ Come join our fabulous faculty!! 🐘 Find more information and apply here: bit.ly/abcjob

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 We're looking for a postdoc for our ERC Synergy project Unfold (unfold-lab.github.io). Join our lab at @institutpasteur to model brain morphogenesis! (1/10)

Time is running out, but with more people added to Bluesky, please contact me if you are interested in applying for a MSc or PhD with us on sensory systems of living and extinct birds. CT scanning and access to the world's biggest bird brain collection! #ornithology #neuroskyence

Curious about how dogs process social interactions? Wondering if unexpected turns elicit a “social prediction error“ analogous to humans and non-human primates? Don’t miss my poster today at #S4SN 🧲🐩🧠 #dogfMRI @s4sn.bsky.social

We are happy to announce the second Workshop of Ideas in 2024! On April 19-21th in Warsaw, we will discuss the origins of order in behaviour. Is instinct a useful term in modern neuroscience? How do genes influence and constrain behavioural development? nenckiopenlab.org/origins_of_order

🚨We have a new perspective out today in @natureclimate called “Leveraging neuroscience for climate change research” shorturl.at/dyN35 where we call on #Neuroskyence researchers to help combat #climatechange 🧠

Hello #CogSci, We just announced our 2023 Seed Grant Call which provides funds for applicants to develop, write, and submit an interdisciplinary research proposal in the broad field of cognitive science that will help them move their career forward. Feel free to share with interested colleagues!

Symposium proposals for the Japan Society for Social Neuroscience meeting are due tomorrow - poster deadline is January 15 I am SO excited about going to Japan, hope to see lots of you there 🧠 #NeuroSkyEnce #PsychSciSky

Always wanted to know about white matter anatomy in the gibbon brain (but were afraid to ask)? doi.org/10.1007/s00429-023-02709-9 #neuroskyence #evolsky #brain #anatomy

The Multiple Demand Network of the human brain is often associated with tasks measuring fluid intelligence. Here, we investigate its structural basis and compare it to the macaque. Nice work by Katrin Karadachka: doi.org/10.1093/cerc... #neuroscience #evolution

yesterday, @clauslamm.bsky.social and I explained our research on Austrian kids TV 🧠🐕as you can see in the pics, we had a lot of fun doing it but my favourite moment was getting a picture of my niece watching the show! ♥️ #1: shorturl.at/isxPY #2: shorturl.at/gsN89 #neuroscience #outreach #dogfMRI

#HiSciSky, we are the Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Unit based at @univie.ac.at. We do a lot of what our lab name says 🧠 but also study comparative cognition 🐶, environmental neuroscience 🌍, stress and many other exciting things. Follow us to learn more! #PsySciSky #neuroskyence

Did anybody already find some nice #brain #evolution stuff to follow?
