Postdocs of the world! Come and present your work to the SWC community. We'd love to hear about you and your research. Apply to #ENSS by August 5.

Delighted to share our recent work together with Julia, Deborah Schenider-Luftman and Andreas Schaefer on a study to observe correlation between respiration in freely moving animals and brain recordings now published in #journalofNeurophysiology!

Thank you @katejjeffery for noticing we forgot the link to the paper! 🤦🏻‍♀️ journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

For fun holiday reading: what is the role of neocortex? The amazing Sara Mederos shows that a specific corticofugal pathway is crucial for learning to overwrite instinctive reactions. An epic study going from neural pathway down to synaptic mechanism! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new work led by @NateZuk, co-supervused by Merav Ahissar & me -- an EEG study in a perceptual decision making task, showing how neural & beh responses to feedback are different in ASD biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Read this nice news piece too! sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/autis…

Are you working with in vivo optogenetics? Ever wondered what the impact of shining laser light within the brain in the absence of exogenous opsins has on neuronal activity? PLEASE SEE biorxiv.org/content/10.110… & READ 🧵👇 work done SWC, thx Mateo Velez-Fort & Troy Margrie

What is the nature of sensory prediction error signals in the neocortex? Our research published in nature reveals that these error signals are amplified responses to unexpected inputs, mediated by a cooperative thalamocortical circuit mechanism! 1/4 nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are looking for postdocs funded by an ERC starting grant to investigate the mechanisms of cortical predictive learning! Opportunities to use in vivo whole cell recordings, 2-photon imaging VR for mice, and more. Please reach out if you are interested! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Erlich Lab Oli Gauld and the Duan lab are hiring 3 research assistants! To contribute to training head-fixed and freely-moving mice in economic decision-making tasks and related recording/imaging/perturbation experiments and analyses. Come join us!

This is such an amazing PhD programme, taking students from around the world with diverse backgrounds and a passion for neuroscience. Apply and join SWC!

Thrilled to share the first preprint from the lab! We find that mouse V1 contains a three-dimensional map of visual space with different populations of neurons responding to near and far visual cues! Led by Yiran He with Antonio Colás Nieto and Antonin Blot. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Agreed! This is truly amazing

🌟 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…

Beautiful work

I am very lucky to have met some of the completely inspirational people in this film, and to have experienced the magical chaos at Headway. Working together on a project about memory was certainly one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Headway East London #braininjury

👏🏼 👏🏼

🤩 Wow! A Pixar show on which I (wearing my sleep research hat) consulted, Dream Productions, has been released to the world early! Yesterday! I haven’t watched yet. Please watch 👀and tell me what you think. I’m so excited!!!!

Come join us at SWC for a movie night and the chance to talk to the stars! Incredibly inspiring people living with acquired brain injury, who are also volunteering to be asked lots of questions about their lived experience by neuroscientists. They'll be quizzing us in return 🍿🧠

This is a great series - come and share your work at SWC!
