🎓📢 Exciting PhD opportunity in translational neuroscience! As a new group within the Retune – CRC TRR 295, we apply large-scale electrophysiology to better understand Parkinson's disease and Deep brain stimulation. See call below and catch me at FENS. Homepage: yangfanpeng.info

Congratulations to 2024 Kavli Prize Laureate Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected]! She pioneered the establishment of the functional region of interest (fROI) approach to localize the fusiform face area (FFA) in humans using fMRI. #kavliprize2024

Having a lot of fun at the CIFAR-ELLIS workshop in MPI Tübingen this week! Inspiring discussions on causality, world models, disentanglement, and representations 💡

Check out our latest profile! Dr. Brielle Ferguson (Dr. Bri is on Bluesky 👩🏾‍🔬🧠) studies the circuit mechanisms of attention dysfunction. Follow the link to learn more! 🧠 storiesofwin.org/profiles/2024/… #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuroscience #WomenInSTEM

If you are attending SLB today, check out my FIRST conference poster (A21) presented by Adam Packer. If you do all-optical interrogation, these results WILL be relevant to how you design experiments moving forwards.

#OnThisDay in 1903, Marie Skłodowska Curie defended her doctoral thesis on radioactive substances at Université de la Sorbonne in Paris – becoming the first woman in France to receive a doctoral degree in physics.

📢Thrilled! My 1st piece of work of my postdoc at @Arlottalab is out nature! This has been a huge co-lead effort with Irene Faravelli👩‍🔬👩‍🔬🤩 Link: nature.com/articles/s4158… Tweetorial 👇🧵

Excited to share our updated preprint characterizing a novel, slow recurrent circuit motif in raphe! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November. Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy. Let’s get to work.

⭐️ Big news! HHMI is investing $300+ million in 26 new #HHMIInvestigators from 19 US institutions. These top scientists will drive groundbreaking research in diverse fields, from neuroscience to immunology to structural biology & beyond. Welcome to HHMI! hhmi.news/4df2eVs

Our paper on the effect of stimulus temporal regularity on visual decisions is out in its final form: nature.com/articles/s4146… Thanks to reviewers whose comments made it a better paper! @matfritsche Antara Majumdar 🧠👩🏽‍🔬💫 Samuel Liebana Lauren Strickland Rafal Bogacz.

If you are at Society for Neuroscience (SfN), check out my poster tomorrow AM on my PhD work so far with the brilliant Michael Lynn and Armin Lak. Come see how we combine optogenetics, multi-NP probe insertions and complex behavior to investigate how perceptual signals propagate through the brain.

Check out our poster A67 on cortical somatostatin interneurons of postnatal mice, from molecular to systems level, at #SfN24 tomorrow morning. This work is from the Butt Lab - Oxford lab together with Evgenia Ntaouka, Antonio Pérez-Colorado, and Lynn Geyer in collaboration with Jens Hjerling Leffler ⭐️⭐️🇺🇦⬜️🟥⬜️.

New paper from Andrew Mah and Carla Golden: “Dopamine transients encode RPEs independent of learning rates.” Rats’ dynamic learning rates approximate Bayesian changepoint detection. DA does not reflect dynamic learning rates. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢 #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

Our next talk is scheduled for Friday, November 1st at 4pm with Charlotte Boccara in the Blakemore Lecture Theatre. Title: Hippocampal and Cortical Dynamics across Learning and Development. Post-talk, we will head to the Lamb and Flag at 5.15pm for some drinks and chats!

Amazing #Diwali celebration in the lab. What an incredible team of scientists who are also fantastic cooks Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG)

Getting rather spooky here University of Oxford

Excited to share new work from us: Distinct representations of economic variables across regions and projections of the frontal cortex. Huge congradulations to Antara Majumdar 🧠👩🏽‍🔬💫, Caitlin Ashcroft and @matfritsche , the joint 1st authors. preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
