Very happy to see this paper come out from Lucas Martins @d-lucas.bsky.social and Alexandre Laborde. They developed an awesome framework, built with .NET, for developing software to run demanding high-speed behavior and functional imaging experiments. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR9v... All sorts of cubing records have been broken already in the first weeks of 2026. Here is 9-year-old Teodor Zajder with the first ever sub-3 second official solve!

A track I need to listen to every few weeks and that I think more people could appreciate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkSn...

"These results show that spontaneous activity in the vertebrate brain is highly stereotyped at the level of functional cell assemblies and can be reliably captured through a common latent code." New work from Volker Bormuth Lab @sorbonne-universite.fr 🐟🧠

Watch 8-year-old Xuanyi Geng clutch the world record for Rubik's cube solving (average) with a 3.37 second solve. Planning: he is planning around 20-25 moves ahead here before he starts to solve. Motor control: he turns the cube faces at 12-13 turns per second. youtu.be/wKm5DfuJJdo?...

A list that has Stoner, Children of Time and The Age of Innocence makes me really curious to read all the rest.

Adam Kampff prioritized spreading knowledge over publishing flashy papers in prestigious journals, but colleagues say his mark on neuroscience was undeniable. The researcher and educator passed away on 9 December. By Lauren Schneider www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

I wanted to pass on a website my son is working on: maths.orger.org. He was personally frustrated with maths in school, when he was asked to apply knowledge of things he was not yet able to prove to himself, and this inspired him to work on a curriculum where everything is justified in strict order.

This is tough. Adam Kampff was one of the most brilliant people that I have had the privilege to know. He was a wonderful and generous friend and colleague, a remarkable teacher and a visionary who inspired hundreds of others. He was a shining example to us all, and we will miss him very much.

Very excited to share this thread on our recent paper! We show how Zebrafish integrate visual navigation signals in aligned topographic maps. Full thread below🧵

🧠In this essay Carlos Ribeiro and Albino J. Oliveira-Maia, @champalimaudf.bsky.social, explore the brain-body interactions. 🤝Their collaboration bridges fundamental and clinical science, reminding us that progress comes from a joint effort between the two. 👉 www.fchampalimaud.org/news/how-sci...

🚨Big news!🚨 The lab is relocating to Lisbon, joining a great team of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, and the Neurotechnology Warehouse, a new initiative to bridge basic and translational research. I'll be sharing postdoc openings soon. Come join us in this new incarnation of the lab!

The effect of time of day on exam pass rate in this study is quite dramatic. Consider that Edexcel runs some UK international exams as early as 7:30 a.m., which is even outside the range plotted in this study!

Does anyone have recommendations for neuroscience books or other non-fiction available on Audible? I enjoyed listening to Elusive Cures (read by the author @nicolecrust.bsky.social) and Innate (from @wiringthebrain.bsky.social), and I was wondering what other good audiobooks are out there?

I'm enjoying revisiting Marina Herlop's 2022 Pripyat LP. Here is the gorgeous opening track Abans Abans with a video featuring snails, stalactites and alpacas and her unique approach to vocals and piano. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3_t...

RIP Brian Wilson (1942-2025), one of the greatest innovators who helped build popular music into an enduring art form, and a kind and humble person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S22a...

It took us many years to improve idtracker.ai in both accuracy and tracking time. Here it is.

Greatly deserved! Congratulations!

Unforgettable trip to Lisbon! Packed with amazing food, wine, science, art, sightseeing, and a healthy dose of exercise! Huge thanks to my hosts @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social at Champalimaud and Razmik Panossian at the Gulbenkian Foundation for the warm welcome.

It is hard to imagine a more prescient compilation than 1992's Artificial Intelligence, not just in terms of the careers of the contributing artists, but how the featured sounds have permeated popular culture over the last 30 years.

A beautifully curated resource for zebrafish research enabled by NIH funding.

Guinness WR is claiming a new record for the most digits of pi recalled in one minute at 280 (www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-record...). Congratulations - however, it might need an update, as here is a video of Owen reciting 350: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-j... @guinnessworldrecords.com

In light of the attack on protections for children with disabilities, I share this chart I made of the amount of attention given to this topic (which should be a winning one for any party) by 2020 presidential candidates.

Glad to see Champalimaud official accounts joining Bluesky, where the science is! Please give them a follow! @champalimaudr.bsky.social @champalimaudf.bsky.social

This looks awesome! I hope people will use it in combination with @adrienjouary.bsky.social 's megabouts.ai, which can lower the time resolution needed for bout identification, helping to enable low cost experimental set-ups.

Credit where credit is due: I discovered this in Portugal.
