A hunger hormone produced in the gut can directly impact a decision-making part of the brain in order to drive an animal’s behaviour, finds a new study led by Dr Andrew MacAskill Andrew MacAskill & Dr Ryan Wee UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences UCL Faculty of Life Sciences ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/nov/…

Hunger hormones impact the decision-making brain area to drive behaviour, according to a new study led by UCL Neuroscience researchers. Read more in the Hindustan Times (Hindustan Times) ⬇️ bit.ly/49HKrF7


Members of UCL's UCL Research Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology and UCL Neuroscience are warmly invited to the NPP/CDB #Christmas Social, from 17:00 on Friday, 15th December 2023 in the Haldane Student Hub, Ground Floor, Anatomy Building, Bloomsbury campus. Time to get the #ChristmasJumper out?! UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy UCL Biosciences




Why does #brain asymmetry exist? What might happen if that asymmetry were lost? UCL Research Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology's Stephen Wilson & UCL Neuroscience's Isaac Bianco hope to provide some answers, using #zebrafish, supported by Wellcome's Discovery Research Awards wellcome.org/news/unlocking… UCL #anatomy #morpho



huge congratulations to David Attwell, the Jodrell Professor of Physiology at UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences who will deliver the John Mallet Purser public lecture this year! details below:

Huge congrats to the amazing Karyna M. 🇺🇦 for her new paper! She found that mice need the ventral hippocampus to perform hidden state inference while performing a 2-armed bandit task. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My lab UCL Neuroscience is looking for an experimentalist to join our growing team. Keen on 2p-imaging 🔬 or Ephys in🐁to study the neuronal substrate underlying visually guided behavior? Get in touch & let's develop a #postdoc project together for the #MSCA 2024 fellowship call. 👩🔬👨🔬


Watch the fantastic Tara Keck from UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences discuss concerns about supporting an ageing population with UNFPA in Eastern Europe & Central Asia

UCL Neuroscience Exciting new publication from David Attwell and colleagues UCL Neuroscience beth stevens promising new therapeutic directions for Alzheimer’s disease by targeting pericytes nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to Nils Korte in Attwell lab for their exciting new paper in Nature Neuroscience - they find that treating Alzheimers disease model mice with a calcium channel blocker alleviates many of the key symptoms associated with brain blood flow and hypoxia. nature.com/articles/s4159…


new paper published in Science Magazine from Andrew MacAskill in UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences UCL Faculty of Life Sciences. How mice make decisions using hidden state inference.

fantastic opportunity to join the lab of our amazing new Group Leader Sarah Ruediger in investigating the neuronal basis of visually guided behaviour!
