יבוא יום שכל מי שלא דיווח על מה שמתחולל בעזה, כל מי ששתק על ההרג והרעב, מי שתמך באופן פעיל או באדישות באסון ההומניטרי שישראל גרמה לו לא ידע מה לעשות עם עצמו מרוב בושה ויחפש אבן להסתתר תחתה והיום הזה לא מאוד רחוק

Completing the mouse, ANN, human trilogy of projects, here are two openings to study cognitive map deficits in human psychosis patients with the inimitable Matthew Nour Using functional neuroimaging and planning tasks. If you’re keen to join us then apply!

🎉 Our paper accepted at #MICCAI2025 (top 9%): "Domain-Agnostic Stroke Lesion Segmentation Using Physics-Constrained Synthetic Data" We leverage qMRI for synthetic data generation, enabling robust stroke segmentation across diverse protocols 🧠 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2412.03318

I would love to help bring more pre-clinical addiction neuroscientists to Canada so please DM me if you are interested!

Im pleased to share our new work, “Spatio-temporal organization of network activity patterns in the hippocampus”, now out in Cell Reports! With Demi Brizee & David Dupret, we track how rhythms and spiking behavior map onto hippocampal layers. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

📢 New Report Launch! Caring for Every Child: Faith-sensitive mental health support for Muslim youth 🧠💫 From the Nurturing Minds Conference— produced by Muslim Mind Collaborative w/ MRN & The Reflection Project. 📖 Read: muslimmindcollaborative.co.uk/wp-content/upl… 🤲🏽Please share widely across all networks!

With the world looking elsewhere, the militarization of aid adds another layer to Israel’s deliberate imposition of genocidal conditions against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and injured at or near aid distribution points

I’m begging younger people not to make the same mistake we did a couple of decades ago. You will never win a debate with professional imperialists by debating them in imperialist terms using imperialist premises. /1

Excited to see this in print this morning, coincidentally on the lab's birthday! Here we tackle the question of how the PFC multiplexes social and contextual information using overlapping ensembles of neurons. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Pleased to say that our story of how a theory of self-supervised learning in cortical layers accounts for several experimental observations is now out 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146…

“This whole generation is being targeted. They will suffer from memory problems, developmental delays … And the problem is even if nutrition becomes available later on, the damage is permanent,” theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

We have a Research Assistant position available in Rushworth Lab to help us with projects involving fMRI, TMS, and TUS. Find out more here my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

They’ve normalized daily MASSACRES.

“Israel has killed a classroom full of children every single day.” UNRWA Sam Rose tells BBC Radio 4. Children in #Gaza have been killed while sleeping, sheltering in schools, or queuing for water. Graphic by @‌TRTWorld

This has been happening for almost two years and the scientific community remains silent. Boycott, divest and sanction this racist regime.

Speak out

Can we use what we’ve learned about cognitive maps to understand social cognition, including theory of mind? If you’re interested in answering this question then this is a fantastic postdoc opportunity with Marco K Wittmann in collaboration with Chris summerfield and my lab.

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

I am gutted to live in a reality where I feel an urge to write stop starving children, stop killing them.
