For fun holiday reading: what is the role of neocortex? The amazing Sara Mederos shows that a specific corticofugal pathway is crucial for learning to overwrite instinctive reactions. An epic study going from neural pathway down to synaptic mechanism! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are looking for postdocs! researchgate.net/job/1014176_Po…

Are we too cortex exclusive? 🧠 We found that perceptual decisions depend on a cortical pathway through thalamus (transthalamic), even though corticocortical projections are intact. Transthalamic pathways thus play a major but underappreciated role in perception. 1/5

Where in the brain is abstract map generated? It is the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), working together!! Here is our new finding published in nature Prefrontal and lateral entorhinal neurons co-dependently learn item–outcome rules

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…

Cool new evidence of the importance of representations outside of SWRs mPFC neurons that *aren't* modulated by SWRs are more spatially tuned and directionally selective, and mPFC has non-local representations of the upcoming choice independent of SWRs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are looking for postdocs funded by an ERC starting grant to investigate the mechanisms of cortical predictive learning! Opportunities to use in vivo whole cell recordings, 2-photon imaging VR for mice, and more. Please reach out if you are interested! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

come and join our team in Spain! we are looking for a researcher with a quantitative background to study the neurocompulational logic underlying visual attention-distractor networks

Shelter experience boosts #dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, generating a goal-location memory. Reactivating a neuronal ensemble developed from shelter experience enables navigation to the goal during escape. Kwon_Lab@JHU Kanghoon Jung nature.com/articles/s4159…

Two new postdoc positions available at UCL's Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience, with job adverts to be posted shortly. Feel free to DM if interested...

“Where was I again?” Our study published today nature.com/articles/s4158… reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

Stable maps from drifting neurons: CA1 solves the "representational drift paradox" through coordinated population dynamics. New preprint w/Antje Kilias Marlene Bartos Jonas Sauer showing that representational drift isn’t random biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
