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...

Nice fundamental and translational neuroscience today in Saint Charles campus for @neuromarseille.bsky.social day. @inp-marseille.bsky.social @univ-amu.fr @maudgratuze.bsky.social @blibep.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @aphm-chu-marseille.bsky.social @ibdm.bsky.social

Announcing our 9 new Fellows-to-Faculty Fellows! These awards help senior postdoctoral researchers with fresh perspectives on autism & neuroscience transition to tenure-track faculty positions: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/simons-foundation-announces-recipients-of-2025-fellows-to-faculty-awards/

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...

Took just three days for our local artists to teach Banksy about the Marseille street art spirit

Blast from the past! Great to be invited back to the annual @intlbrainlab.bsky.social meeting as an alum! Really enjoying catching up with the community and hearing about the incredible, cutting-edge science the collaboration has produced. So much progress! 🧠✨ #Neuroscience #FlatironInstitute #IBL

Great to welcome Danny Burnham, PhD student with Luca Mazzucato, to the lab! Excited to collaborate on our project investigating complex decision-making behavior and neuromodulation in mice. Thanks to the #AccelNet IN-BIC fellowship for making this visit possible! 🐭🧠 #neuroscience

Back on familiar ground at @champalimaudf.bsky.social today, nearly 3 years later! Here for a thesis defense. Such an inspiring and unique environment for systems neuroscience. Fond memories of my postdoc here!

#FluorescenceFriday party with an #iDisco cleared brain, shining bright under the lightsheet! 🧠🔬👩‍🔬

RL is so back! (well, for some of us, it never really left) awards.acm.org/about/2024-t...

Congrats Team! Carole and Antoine (@antoinecourbi.bsky.social) got their first #Neuropixels recording in our brand new virtual reality setup for mice! This is a big step for our lab. Excited to see what comes next!! #neuroscience #ephys
