New preprint from the lab! A frontal motor circuit for economic decisions and actions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We use a novel task in mice, cortex-wide imaging and optogenetics, NPX recording and modelling to reveal a circuit mechanism that transforms abstract decisions to spatial actions.

Last night Adam Kampff, the glue, the light, the catalyst, the builder, the smile, left us. He and his work transformed the lives of many labs, scientists, students. He inspired and was generous to his last transformation, working tirelessly to set up a foundation to continue the work.Thank you!

Putting the 'Spotlight' on a recent article by @fannycazettes.bsky.social et al. by discussing how “brain leakage” can expose cognitive computations in bodily movements – in turn opening new ways to track cognition. Now out in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mDCZ4sIRv...

I remember when we used to think that all neurons were specialized. Mixed selectivity: when neurons stopped looking like specialists www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Mixed selectivity: when neurons stopped looking like specialists — a Journal Club article by Fanny Cazettes @fannycazettes.bsky.social #neuroscience #neuroskyence www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When @natrevneuro.nature.com asked me to highlight a paper that influenced both my field and my own research, I immediately thought of the work on mixed selectivity by @matrig.net, @stefanofusi.bsky.social, and colleagues. More on this journal club: rdcu.be/eRKLk

Powerful new AI-driven approach to understanding neural population structure! A preview of where scientific methods may be headed?

We got the cover 🎉🎉 🎉 ! Beautiful artwork from the talented Carole Marchese, PhD student in my lab.

Pourra-t-on un jour lire dans les pensées ? Une étude de l’Université d’Aix-Marseille sur les expressions faciales des souris ouvre une fenêtre aussi fascinante qu’inquiétante. Explications avec la neuroscientifique @fannycazettes.bsky.social de @univ-amu.fr www.ouest-france.fr/leditionduso...

RIP Jane Goodall… ethology will always remember you

Can you read a mouse’s mind just by looking at its face? A new study shows that subtle facial movements reveal hidden thoughts 👇 📺 Video explainer: youtu.be/eNjkmeJ-lvE 👀 Summary: www.fchampalimaud.org/news/scienti... 📄 Original paper 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new study featured in The Transmitter by @lauren-schneider.com! 🎉 Big thanks to @zeronoiselab.bsky.social and @computingnature.bsky.social for their comments on the work.

Did you know that facial expressions reveal more than meets the eye? 🤯 Our new study shows that even a mouse's face 🐭 can reflect hidden neural computations🧠. Turns out, facial expressions are more than just emotions! We're so excited to see this paper out @natneuro.nature.com 🎉 🔗: rdcu.be/eIQzO

Building reproducible systems across labs is possible, even in large-scale neuroscience. You just need rigor, collaboration and the willingness to look your own practices in the eye, writes Anne Churchland. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/reproducibil...

Great to host SCGB fellow Caroline (@carolinehaimerl.bsky.social) in Marseille! She shared fascinating results from her work on abstraction from action prediction. Keep an eye on all her cool work coming out soon! 🧠👩‍🔬 #neuroscience

Two flagship papers from the International Brain Laboratory, now out in ‪@Nature.com‬: 🧠 Brain-wide map of neural activity during complex behaviour: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09235-0 🧠 Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09226-1 +

That's a wrap on Seattle! It was wonderful to join the #NeuroAI community at the @alleninstitute.org. The discussions are always incredibly inspiring! A huge thank you to Karel Svoboda, Adrienne Fairhall, and the whole organizing team for bringing us together!

We have an open position for a Scientist I at the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics. Come join our exciting research environment @alleninstitute.org. Please share! alleninstitute.org/careers/jobs...

Thrilled to see our TinyRNN paper in @nature! We show how tiny RNNs predict choices of individual subjects accurately while staying fully interpretable. This approach can transform how we model cognitive processes in both healthy and disordered decisions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

So great to welcome long-term collaborator Luca Mazzucato (@neuroai-uoregon.bsky.social) to Marseille (France)! He just gave a fantastic talk about the neural mechanisms of optimal performance. 🧠 🚀 Big News: For those interested, his department at the University of Oregon will be hiring this fall!

Our work, out at Cell, shows that the brain’s dopamine signals teach each individual a unique learning trajectory. Collaborative experiment-theory effort, led by Sam Liebana in the lab. The first experiment my lab started just shy of 6y ago & v excited to see it out: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

In case this is helpful for anyone, here is a post on how to get a job in french academia : trialsanderrors.substack.com/p/getting-a-... Aimed at non-french scientists who are curious, but french ones may find it useful too.

Our work with Pablo Tano, @hyunggoo-kim.bsky.social Athar Malik, Alexandre Pouget and @naoshigeuchida.bsky.social exploring how dopamine neurons could enable multi-timescale reinforcement learning in the brain is out in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...
