„We don’t hire smart people to tell them what to do, we hire them to tell us what to do“ Spot on! That’s how science labs should be run!

Congratulations to all ERC @erc.europa.eu #STG winners @tum.de and around Europe! 🎉👏🏻🧪 Can’t wait to hear about the exciting science you will all be doing!

We have an exciting new book to announce! www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/news/oxford-...

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW

107! 🎉 What a remarkable scientist. What a remarkable person. What a remarkable life!

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/10)

Beautiful cover!

Congratulations to the #Munich Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences class of 2025! A bright future awaits you. We are very proud of what you have achieved! 🧪🧠🎉🥂 #neuroskyence @lmumuenchen.bsky.social @tum.de @mpiforbi.bsky.social @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social @www.helmholtz-munich.de

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...

Major update to our preprint. Led by @xuanyuwang.bsky.social, we show that the mesoscopic functional organization of the primate PFC reflects individual cognitive strategies and mnemonic abilities. 🧠 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

It was a great pleasure to have you with us!

Save the date!!!! We are happy to announce that during the Postdoc appreciation week 2025 #PAW the MPN will invite all Munich postdocs to join the "Munich Postdoc Day" on September 17th 2025 at the BAdW @badw.de‬. More details and registration options will be posted soon.

Big success! 🤩👏🏻

Spring in full swing! Cherry blossom in front of the lab

Today, we celebrated the laboratory’s 10th anniversary. 🎉 You know what? I’ve been in science long enough. It’s not the papers or the grants that make me come to the lab every day. It’s the people I have the pleasure of working with. Thanks for all the fun!! 🧠 🧪

🚀 Exciting opportunities! My lab has several openings in neuroscience, focusing on prefrontal & motor cortex. Meet us at #NWG2025 (PFC Symposium S3, Wednesday 2:30PM, Hall 104 + posters T8-2B on Thursday, T24-5D on Saturday)! 👉 www.optophysiology.uni-freiburg.de/news/categor... #NeuroJobs
