The results of this work have changed my view of olfactory cortex function, and of autoassociative memory in general. Great work by Hu Bo, Nesibe Temiz, et al in a wonderful collaboration with Chi-Ning Chou and SueYeon Chung. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Close your eyes and bring your full attention to the sensation of your tongue making contact with a tooth of your choice. Take 3 big breaths. Do you 'see it?' ...Our latest in nature by the indomitable Brendan Ito Jason Gao and Brian Kardon

I’m excited to share my latest paper セルメタ. Hakan Kucukdereli and I recorded from AgRP neurons continuously for 1 month and found some exciting things during ad lib feeding, fasting and on circadian timescales cell.com/cell-metabolis…

I want to highlight *some* of my favorite studies on dendrites and spines from 2024 👀 - feeling very excited and inspired about the field 🔥 Happy new year y'all!

🧵Prepint! Optimizing Multifunctional Fluorescent Ligands for Intracellular Labeling |tinyurl.com/3n55hvsc. With Jason Vevea @TheChapmanLab David Solecki (pronounced so_lets_ki 😉), we combined dye chemistry, HaloTag, microscopy and cell biology to make protein purification and manipulation tools.

Tetanus on demand! (not for bioweapons, but for neuroscience research) Tetanus toxin induces paralysis by using a protease to cleave VAMP2, a protein required for synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. To harness this toxicity and use it as a beneficial tool for

How do different cortical neuron types contribute to circuit dysfunction in #Huntington’s disease? Check out our new collaborative study with Takaki Komiyama, now out as a preprint. A tour de force by Sonja Blumenstock. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new paper in Nature! 'Transcriptomic neuron types vary topographically in function and morphology' explores how neurons in the zebrafish optic tectum exhibit diverse functions and shapes despite similar transcriptional profiles. rdcu.be/d9GVM

📢 Excited to share our new paper out today in Nature Neuroscience! 🧠✨ We uncover how compartmentalized dendritic plasticity in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) links contextual memories formed close in time. A thread 🧵👇 [1/8] nature.com/articles/s4159…

I'm really excited to introduce our new paper Catherine Dulac on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below). nature.com/articles/s4158…

AMPA receptors were thought to play a limited role in memory and learning due to calcium impermeability. New findings show some subtypes do allow calcium flow, reshaping our understanding of neural transmission | nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Very happy to announce the "Paris Circuit Dynamics Conference 2025: Hippocampal–Cortical Circuits: From structure to computation", on 28 - 29 April 2025 at the Paris Brain Institute. You are welcome to register and join us! paris-circuits.eu

Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our new study: "Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses" by Andrea Muñoz Zamora, Aaron Douglas & team at Trinity College Dublin, in collaboration with Lydia Lynch & Christine Ann Denny Ryan Lab nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

This was another great paper to work on. EM has been the standard for connectomic research since forever, but is a pain if you want to want to label molecules or cells. This paper makes an important step towards using light microscopy for connectomics. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Closer science ties across the #Atlantic: the Max Planck Society has just launched its new #Transatlantic Program to boost collaboration with top U.S. institutions & open up more chances for researchers at every level - from #PhDs to directors!🌍🔬 mpg.de/25034916/max-p…

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science Magazine!✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass!🧭 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵1/
