Very happy for this @ejneuroscience.bsky.social editorial on the importance of diverse research animals in neuroscience. We make the case that embracing a plurality of model organisms enriches the field and accelerates both basic and translational research. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Indeed. Starting on 1953. Operation Ajax Maduro is no Mosadegh but CIA and MI6 removed Mosadegh mostly because he had nationalized the Iranian oil industry. The imposed regime change restored control of Iranian oil to US/UK companies And that clearly led to a democratic and prosperous middle east

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

“Basic neuroscience hasn’t produced new drugs.” 💊 Not true - zuranolone (PPD), suzetrigine (pain), gepants (migraine), and more... were born out of a long arc of studies in the lab. I wrote a Perspective on why this matters. @thetransmitter.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/drug-develop...

1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

We are still accepting applications for the #postdoc opportunity in the lab 🕵‍♀️ 🧠 More details 👇 Postdoctoral position: lnkd.in/g4TkRxpM Research directions: lnkd.in/eV2iMKGf Our team and philosophy: lnkd.in/eh3nnNgq ⏬

Only one more week to apply to do a postdoc with our group and this of @thomasdwkim.bsky.social @ncmbm.bsky.social @nordicembl.bsky.social ! If you are interested, contact us or apply directly to the add. Please RT. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @bendichter.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/open-neurosc...

Super happy to see our new study, on how the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) regulates nicotine reward, out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! Using #chemogenetics, we @faurelab.bsky.social show that blocking IPN activation enhances VTA responses and increases nicotine's rewarding effect. #neuroscience

It was great to have been able to present my latest work on photopharmacology at the Society of Neuroscientists of Africa meeting #SONA2025 in Marrakech. Hope this will lead to future collaborations – will make sure to attend the next edition!
