#NewComicAlert! We are back with another inspiring comic with Tinkle Magazine featuring cognitive & behavioral neuroscientist Dr Abhilasha Joshi! 🧠 🐀 Happy reading! Download your free copy here: bit.ly/ncbsxtinklecom… Abhilasha Joshi, PhD #sciencecomics #womenscientists

Ever wondered how organs take shape? Join us to find out! The Organ Mechanobiology Lab National Centre for Biological Sciences is recruiting Graduate Trainees. Perfect for final-year students curious about tissue mechanics, development & cell biology. Check out the ad below 👇 Please RT! Thanks 🙏

While the world burns, we cook up a new preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… Biophysical modeling is a key tool to derive mechanistic insights into the brain. These models are governed by biologically meaningful parameters (unlike deep neural nets), but the dirty secret ... 1/N

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/ehEgz Cool morphing expts+more in final version 🧵👇

Very cool new book from Nachum Ulanovsky on "Natural Neuroscience" at The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social. Looking forward to checking it out! weizmann.ac.il/brain-sciences…

Our lab in the Center for Neural and Cognitive Sciences will be taking two students for PhD program. Candidates interested in investigating neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavior in insect model systems using neuroethology, electrophysiology, and computational approaches

In a study now out in eLife - the journal, Georgin Jacob Pramod RT/ಪ್ರಮೋದ್ ರಾ ತಾ and I have some exciting results: a novel computation that helps the brain solve disparate visual tasks, a novel brain region that performs this computation....what's not to like?! Read on.... 1/n elifesciences.org/articles/93033

I am looking for a postdoc. Please see the details here: snu.edu.in/careers/staff/…

My pre-PhD work is out Current Biology! We studied Alston’s singing mice, neotropical rodent that produces loud, human-audible 'songs' and engages in vocal turn-taking. Using thermal imaging in semi-natural arena, we probed song use across social contexts. cell.com/current-biolog…

How does the brain map where rewards are found? Stanford researchers Lisa Giocomo & Mari Sosa found that mice form adaptable hippocampal maps that track reward locations—offering insight into how memory, dementia & addiction relate to place and reward. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/locations…

Come join us for this super exciting event. You can't have anything better to do next Saturday 😜

🚨New in Cell We discovered that hippocampal replays in natural-scale environments are highly fragmented, not full-length. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… 👇🧵

Our new paper is out in Science. We identified a subgroup of cholinergic neurons that mediate sensory modality-specific attention. They change their funcitonal properties within secs of behavioral context change. Congrats to Bin and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In 2019, Nishant Narayanasamy joined Shashi Thutupalli’s lab at National Centre for Biological Sciences. There, a strange guest was waiting: a colony of yeast growing far beyond what anyone expected. 🧵 thehindu.com/sci-tech/scien…

This right here is what we live to see.A new gene treatment from the lab that causes axons (green) to grow through a sharp injury (the cut)& an inhibitory scar (red)! The joy is 100x more when your student Yogesh Sahu discovers vs yourself 😁 Do read! shorturl.bz/t6s

Announcing the 9th Edition of the online "Biostatistics: A User's Perspective" course. This will be an intuitive understanding of the useful bits, without getting bogged down by the gory maths. sites.google.com/acads.iiserpun… Please consider spreading the word. Thanks!

Even in broken universities, some good science still happens. Curious, difficult people keep showing up and asking real questions anyway.

Sequential predictive learning is a unifying theory for hippocampal representation and replay biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint! tl;dr — We ran around late at night to record wild rats in NYC and figured out how to quantify their behavior and environment. 🧵 w/ Dima Batenkov, Ahmed El Hady, Emily Mackevicius biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

More on collective behavior: Our new Annual Review of Biophysics piece - with the stellar Danielle Chase - explores how animals sense, share information, and make group decisions. In honeybees and beyond 🐝 annualreviews.org/content/journa…
