How does the brain control the numerous muscles of the body? Let's say you want to rotate two balls in your hand, how does your brain achieve that? Read our article in Neuron to learn more! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

I'll be giving a talk Society for Neuroscience (SfN) this Wednesday 1:45 pm on our Mental Simulation work (TL;DR below👇), at the Computational Models nanosymposium. Full schedule here: abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20433/s…

Congratulations to Research Scientist Igor Siwanowicz: 1 honorable mention & 2 images of distinction in the 2024 #NikonSmallWorld competition! Antenna of a mole crab(L), aster anther cross section w/pollen grains(Top R) & floret of common chicory w/pollen grains Nikon Small World

Scientists made a robotic system that tracks honey bees 24 hours a day. Cameras track the queen and individual drones, while algorithms track their movements, egg layings, grooming interactions, and more. Really cool.

🚨Big news! Five years in the making, our Zebrahub paper is now published in #Cell 🎉. We’ve built a timecourse atlas of zebrafish embryonic development, combining #scRNAseq data and #lightsheet live imaging, and delved deep into the dynamics of key progenitors.

Job alert 🚨: I’m looking for a creative, ambitious, and dedicated postdoc to join me on this quest; so many exciting questions about how cortex and sub cortical structures (including spinal cord) drive adaptive motor control. Large scale 2P (limited labs 🌎 have this tech),

Dear friends, my MIT colleague, Fan Wang, and I, are starting a new collaborative project on the brain's internal models of the body. We are building a team to tackle this research. Please distribute and RT the job ad below. dropbox.com/scl/fi/nvm0bch…

“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:

I am thrilled to share the published version of our study on how neuropeptide signals regulate feeding in the hypothalamus! We imaged endogenous peptide signals in subcellular compartments during behavior. Below is an updated summary: rdcu.be/dZlI3

The first preprint of my postdoc with Dud{man,Lab}🇺🇦 is now online! Here we wanted to understand the algorithms mice use when learning to forage in large environments with many potential resources. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

EVOLVEpro, our general AI model for protein engineering, is now out in Science! We show the ability to design and evolve dozens of unique proteins to have up to 500 times more activity or function using a combination of LLMs and regression models. 🧵👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We built an AI model to simulate how a fruit fly walks, flies and behaves – in partnership with HHMI | Janelia. 🪰 Our computerized insect replicates realistic motion, and can even use its eyes to control its actions. Here’s how we developed it – and what it means for science. 🧵

1/ I'm excited to share recent results from my first collaboration with the amazing Aran Nayebi and Leo Kozachkov! We show how autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics emerge in embodied agents with intrinsic motivation driven by world models.

How do animals stay precise when their whole brain heats up or cools down? Larval zebrafish hunt accurately across a 10°C range. What enables such stability? What mechanism might support it? #zebrafish #neuroscience #temperature Shai Tishby Tamari ELSC Brain doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
