1/ 🚨 Thrilled to share the final version of our paper in eLife - the journal! Both LC & VTA pathways release dopamine in CA1, but how might they uniquely modulate CA1 activity? Using VR, we imaged these pathways in mice to uncover their distinct roles. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… #Neuroscience

ONIX is a data acquisition system for recording neural activity in freely behaving mice. It can accommodate a variety of recording technologies, while maintaining minimal impact on animal behavior.

Time for science! This is a paper I loved for a couple reasons. 1) It gives a clear explanation for how noisy and antagonist neuropeptide signals ultimately determine satiety. 2) I think the tools and approach might be the future of systems neuro nature.com/articles/s4158…

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire Sylvie Lesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm happy to share our Review article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences , "Cognitive Maps and Schizophrenia", synthesising evidence for representation-level abnormalities in the condition, and proposing directions for future work. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢 HIRING 📢 I am offering a postdoc position to join the Cyril Herry Lab. Come and be part of the outstanding Bordeaux Neurocampus & Neurocentre Magendie community! Thanks for you RT Inserm Fondation Bettencourt Schueller

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

CaMinA is back for its 3rd year...this time we're going to beautiful Zambia🇿🇲! I'm proud to see this course grow and bring together the smartest students across Africa with leading neuro institutes like Allen Institute and SWC Applications open soon, please share widely!

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in Current Biology: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

We have two exciting opportunities for PhDs in the lab. One looking at networks underlying easy and difficult memory problems and the other using dynamic bayesian networks and high density electrophysiology to examine memory: findaphd.com/phds/project/e… findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

Kicking off the new year with our new paper in nature! We find that touch-guided tongue control in mice relies on a collicular mechanosensorimotor map, analogous to collicular visuomotor maps associated with visually-guided orienting in many species. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole. In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.
