#preprint: We optimised the preparation of tissues for #X-ray phase contrast imaging. Drying tissue samples (instead of embedding them) brings more signal in #X-ray phase contrast images. The process largely preserves #ultrastructure. @safekhan.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social

Our pre-print is out! Critical point drying of brain tissue for x-ray phase contrast imaging. @apeart.bsky.social @yuxinzhang.bsky.social @jkbrmn.bsky.social @apacureanu.bsky.social @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social @carlesbosch.bsky.social @esrf.fr @crick.ac.uk bioarXiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We are looking for an IT engineer with a focus on operations and research data management at the Centre for Organismal Studies at @uniheidelberg in Heidelberg, Germany #IT #sysadmin #linux #ResearchData please help to spread this opening […] [Original post on biologists.social]

We watched mice follow scent trails drawn on an “endless” treadmill. By manipulating trail geometry/statistics, perturbing mouse nose & brain, and modeling behavior with a Bayesian framework, we show that mice use predictive (rather than reactive) strategies.

And we are off - excited that #cns2025florence is under way with record attendance - first keynote starts in 5 minutes.

Scary. Authors building in hidden instructions for presumed LLM peer reviewers (in white text on white background).

Clinical research in England is wild! 3+ years, 20+ meetings, 200+ documents, 500+ emails is what it can take to open a fully funded, observational non-CTIMP study. Thank you @chrischirp.bsky.social and colleagues for calling attention to this urgent, solvable crisis! www.bmj.com/content/390/...

We wrote a little #NeuroAI piece about in-context learning & neural dynamics vs. continual learning & plasticity, both mechanisms to flexibly adapt to changing environments: arxiv.org/abs/2507.02103 We relate this to non-stationary rule learning tasks with rapid performance jumps. Feedback welcome!

Great thread, showing how even the most educated people need humility to accept what they dont’t know. That’s the way you will learn.

🏊 Serotonin controls how hard a zebrafish swims as changes in its body or environment effect its effort. Now, researchers are uncovering how neurons figure out when & how much serotonin to secrete – providing new insights into neuromodulation ➡️ www.janelia.org/news/new-res...

Tomorrow the second Behavioral Neurobiology Summer School in Collaboration with the Pristina International Summer University will start at University of Pristina, Kosovo!! Thank you Ilir Mazreku for having us over for a visit from Konstanz! Thank you Flutura Shabani for all the organization!

🧵 It's #ResearchAppreciationDay! 🔬 🧪 🧬 Time to shout out our brilliant UCL researchers changing lives daily! Here are just a few of our top research stories of 2025:

Here is your last reminder that the application deadline for Imbizo.Africa is nearing quickly, the 1st of July, in fact tomorrow. Still the place where diversity is at its best in the world! Tell all who need to hear. #africa #neuro

Crick researchers have shown that the ‘pacemaker’ controlling yeast cell division is located inside the nucleus, rather than outside it as was previously thought. This research was led by @nitinkapadia.bsky.social and Paul Nurse. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2025-06...

Researchers at the Crick and UCL have developed laboratory models of dementia, including Alzheimer's, to show that certain genetic messages are misplaced in diseased nerve cells. The finding could offer a potential target for new treatments for neurodegeneration. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2025-06...

ATTN: students & postdocs in #theoreticalneuroscience! Applications are now open for @hhmijanelia.bsky.social's "by the students, for the students" #neurotheory workshop, which will take place Nov. 9 - 14, 2025.

Your nose remembers scents, literally! A new mouse study finds that repeated exposure to certain smells triggers the growth of more neurons tuned to those odours. Over time, this could help fine-tune your sense of smell 👃

Congratulations!

Animals’ sniffing drives rhythmic input to the olfactory system. How does this timing contribute to perception, especially beyond first steps of olfactory processing? We tested this using simple closed-loop optogenetics in our new paper: www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

How do brain circuits evolve? We started looking for some answers by using synapse-resolution cross-species comparative connectomics on an entire olfactory circuit 👇 bit.ly/44aVm9E

It's Spending Review day! The Chancellor has announced £86bn for research over the next four years A big number, particularly in the economic context... ...but it also amounts to a reduction in ambition. Here's why 🎞
