This was just possible thanks to Ruben and all the wonderful people who thought me everything I’ve learned at the @PortuguesLab

Thank you very much, this is a great honor! PhD theses are such un under appreciated genre of scientific communication: they leave the space and freedom that is missing so much in modern publications. Thanks for recognizing their importance FENS FENS Kavli Network !

Last chance to apply for the Cajal #Online NeuroKit #training on #Experimental #Neuroscience Bootcamp! 📆 2-6 Sep 2024 ⏰ Extended Application Deadline 1 July 2024 👉 loom.ly/naMHyjA Adam Kampff Elena Dreosti

Apply to this workshop if you have the chance, I am sure it will be amazing!

New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Why is reality so slow? Why can we only have one thought at a time? Why do we need so many neurons? Will Elon Musk's Neuralink really speed up his cognition? For answers and more questions check out our new review: "The Unbearable Slowness of Being". arxiv.org/abs/2408.10234

And this is ReLab in its "lab" and "rewilding" parts.

For the longest time I thought I was seeing things. But it turns out it's just a bunch of neurons firing in my visual cortices.

Few things have kept me up at night more than understanding the IPN anatomical organization using EM! 😃 Not quite a #connectome yet, but hopefully the #zebrafish larvae brain will get there soon! #neuroscience

We are super happy to present our first preprint - the effect of our Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour Workshop - where we look more critically at the term "naturalistic behaviour" and point to its vagueness and inconsistency in its use. 1/n

We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

Can't recommend this highly enough! It's the one and only life changing neuroscience school I've attended in my life. Amazing community of organizers, interesting speakers, in depth discussions, incredibly warm vibes. Apply!!!

We are happy to announce our next Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience: “Why Are There Neuroscientists?” This time, we’ll gather in the beautiful city of Heidelberg to explore our reasons and motivations for doing research in neuroscience.
