How do animals learn from naïve to expert? What role does dopamine play? Find out in our new paper by Samuel Liebana Aeron Laffere Chiara Toschi , Louisa Schilling, Jacek Podlaski, Matthias Fritsche, Peter Zatka-Haas, Yulong Li Lab, Rafal Bogacz, Andrew Saxe biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/5)

New job for 2024? Lak Lab University of Oxford is hiring a (senior) tech/lab manager. Needed: neuro enthusiasm, lab or software skills & a relevant degree (undergrad or PhD). Contract 4 years, salary based on experience. Come work with my favourate people. Happy holidays & Plz RT.

This is one of the most striking optogenetic effects I have ever seen. Stimulate the Gabaergic cells in the mrn and the animal can't stop what it is currently doing, even if aversive. Stimulate the Glutamatergic cells and it switches to something else. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our recent insight into how a small subcortical nucleus controls our behavioral strategies. Thanks to @sonjaBhofer and @SWC_neuro for the invaluable support that fueled this discovery! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’ve all heard of place cells: neurons that form a “cognitive map” representing the structure of the outside world. But what about our own structured behaviours? We took a deep mechanistic dive, out now on bioRxiv : biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵below:

Experience shapes chandelier cell function and structure in the visual cortex: tinyurl.com/4vyn875y This publication was a collaborative effort between Koen Seignette from @ChristiaanLevelt's lab and several colleagues from Pieter Roelfsema 's and Maarten Kole's lab.

Data from the first year of our new approach to publishing!! In brief, we are still seeing the same quantity and caliber of papers. But the process feels much more constructive. For Editors, and for authors. Data: tinyurl.com/mrnmrayk Editorial: tinyurl.com/3kf256u6

Big update to the UniversalProbeFinder! Including: - Multi-shank support - Load & display any cluster information using .tsv files (e.g., kilosort, phy, bombcell) - Hide specific groups (e.g., noise clusters, PV-cells) - Data tip per unit Download here: github.com/JorritMontijn/…

The final version of the paper is now openly available Neuron via cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Wow! Time-resolved cryo-EM of G-protein activation by a GPCR Congrats! nature.com/articles/s4158…

The real story being every project that ends up being published

New preprint from the lab! 🚨 Replay of procedural experience occurs in the striatum and is independent of the hippocampus. Heroic effort by Emmett Thompson & the rest of the team Jasvin Kaur, Georgina Mills, Will Dorrell, Clémentine Dominé 🍊, Tom George 🧵👇1/13

To all my science friends at Twitter: I am deeply disappointed in FENS Forum 2024, for their lack of support for diversity in scientific community. Our team's abstract was accepted for poster presentation and while me and one of my graduate students were granted ...(1/4)

Hi all, with bittersweet feelings I present to you my final project (alas I'm out of funding). Strap in,buckle up & please RT! Now on bioRxiv: "Structured neural fluctuations can generate noise invariance and inter-areal gating at distinct timescales": doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… 1/

Come join our team in London as a research assistant! Rodent decision making, miniscopes and hippocampus! Ideal for a recent graduate wanting lab experience before PhD. UCL is an amazing place to do neuroscience - come and find out! ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex? Our research published in nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4 nature.com/articles/s4158…
