After giving a talk at a conference recently, I received an email from an unfamiliar senior professor in the audience remarking that my “look has extremely improved over the years” from “nerdy lab mouse” to “a touch of upper class.” 1/4

🚨 preprint alert 🚨 Ever wondered how many cell types populate the 🐭 medial septum? In our latest preprint from the Stefan Remy lab, Felix Kuhn and I explored the septum's transcriptomic profile and discovered it’s more complex than we thought! 🧵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

📢 #Rastermap paper out now, easily explore and visualize your neural recordings 🐭🐒🐟 and ANNs 🤖 nature.com/articles/s4159…. Updates from preprint include analyses of primate data and IBL task data. Video tutorial: youtu.be/oQHq7yUWn2k #Neuroscience #MachineLearning

Genetically defined neuron types underlying visuomotor transformation in the superior colliculus: nature.com/articles/s4158… "Here, we review these recent discoveries on the cell types and neuronal circuits underlying visuomotor transformations mediated by the superior colliculus"

🚨New preprint from the lab!🚨 We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system and discovered that visual objects dynamically boost the encoding of head-direction! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵👇1/

🌟 Cai Lab nature paper alert! In new work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/9) Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Do you do Neuropixel recordings and are you struggling with preprocessing? I'm introducing the Power Pixels Pipeline! An end-to-end pipeline from raw data to single neurons in Allen Atlas brain regions. Github 👉 github.com/NeuroNetMem/Po… Read more 👇🧵

What are the brain’s “real” tuning curves? Our new preprint "SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” argues that existing techniques for latent variable discovery are lacking. We suggest a much simpl-er way to do things. 1/21🧵

Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the #hippocampus and how this is affected by #Alzheimer's? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a #PhD with us: ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk

Fact check: AfD head called Hitler 'communist.' He was not p.dw.com/p/4p3oq?maca=e…

To “punish” Colombia, Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee. Remember: *WE* pay the tariffs, not Colombia. Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class.

The White House is set to pause federal grants and loans in the US in a sweeping move that threatens to disrupt education, healthcare, housing assistance, disaster relief and other programs. dw.com/en/trump-us-fe…

“It will be much easier to destroy the world’s greatest scientific ecosystem than it will be to try to rebuild it” Scientists are worried about the long-term effects of the Trump administration’s actions go.nature.com/40NZV8d

Right-wing extremism is not just an American phenomenon. It’s world wide. We’re in solidarity with our friends in Germany who are standing tall against oligarchy, authoritarianism and racism - and the AfD, the Musk supported party.

This is Orwellian

Science is under threat.

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks. go.nature.com/3DhcYGb
